🎧 Episode Description
Have you ever looked at your calendar and realized you booked every minute—even your rest? Jim Burgoon shares his own burnout story and introduces REST, a four-step framework to help leaders recognize red flags, evaluate energy gaps, schedule micro-rests (and mini-Sabbaths), and team up for accountability. If you’re leading on empty, this episode gives you practical, Scripture-anchored habits to reclaim your strength and lead with purpose.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- REST Framework: Remember R.E.S.T. – Recognize, Evaluate, Schedule, Team.
- Recognize Red Flags: Watch for exhaustion that won’t break and a hollow prayer life.
- Evaluate Energy Gaps: Track cortisol spikes vs. true recovery minutes.
- Schedule Rest: Use short, frequent micro-rests and protect a weekly mini-Sabbath.
- Team Up: Build a triad for mutual accountability, support, and growth.
📖 Scripture Anchors
- Mark 6:31 – "Come away... and rest a while."
- Hebrews 4:9–10 – The promise of Sabbath rest.
- Galatians 6:2 – "Carry one another’s burdens..."
