“We have feelings and perspectives, and therefore, we need to be Spirit led.” – Travis Moots
Whether you are struggling with burnout at the moment or know someone who is, this episode is for you. If you are currently thinking and feeling, “I just can’t do this anymore,” Jenny has an encouraging guest for you — Travis Moots. Travis has served in Christian education for many years and is currently serving as a pastor, as well.
There is a lot on teachers’ plates as they hold various roles and responsibilities.
Travis helps educators identify and understand burnout by addressing these common questions:
- What is teacher burnout?
- What is causing teacher burnout?
- What are symptoms of burnout?
- When does burnout happen?
Travis shares how to manage teacher stress through proper boundaries, letting go of perfectionism, and allowing time to rest and replenish. There is a connection between spiritual-emotional maturity and handling stress, so Travis shares how educators can build emotionally healthy resilience. As the saying goes, “If God has called you to this, He will provide you what you need every day.” There is hope for the weary and practical help for those who are feeling like they are reaching their limit.
Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God’s power and grace working in you.
Go do what God has called you to do!
