Manage episode 504169275 series 3681557
Burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. Whether in ministry, marriage, parenting, or your career, it’s a slow fade—one that can leave you drained, distant, and dangerously close to collapse.
In this special episode of Out of Focus, Shannon sits down with her husband, Mike Lee, to talk about the often-overlooked warning signs of burnout and how to fight back with grace, wisdom, and God’s Word.
Together, they talk about:
- The subtle signs of burnout (and why leaders often miss them)
- What Elijah’s breakdown teaches us about exhaustion and depression
- Why ministry without rest leads to emptiness
- How couples can recognize burnout in each other and respond with grace
- The role of private worship and community in restoring our souls
- Practical ways to refill your tank when life feels overwhelming
If you’ve ever felt tired, spiritually dry, or “out of focus,” this conversation will remind you: you don’t have to keep running on empty. Jesus invites you to the table—even in the middle of the battle.
