133: Finding Resonance with Author Andrew Root

Send a text Join my discussion with guest Dr. Andrew Root, author of "When Church Stops Working." Together, we dissect how the relentless drive for growth impacts pastoral health which then leads to burnout and and the threat of early departure from ministry. Discover how pursuing resonance over acceleration can breathe new life into our spiritual communities. Our discussion takes a reflective turn as we explore the powerful act of waiting, a rare but transformative practice in today's fast-paced world. Delve into the primal sin of outpacing God (isn't that a nice way to say "avoid burnout") and learn how living within our human constraints can lead to profound spiritual renewal. Finally, Dr. Root shares experiences of those who've faced burnout, often unaware until it's too late. We offer tangible resources like a free burnout questionnaire to help leaders assess their well-being. This episode is an essential listen for anyone navigating church life, seeking to maintain authenticity and spiritual integrity in a world that demands constant acceleration.
