Episode 53: Avoiding Volunteer Burn-Out

Burn-out is an all-too-real thing in our Churches. Yet, it is something that can be avoided. In this episode, John and Chris share what volunteers can do to avoid their own burn-out and fatigue. At the same time, we also share some strategies for church leaders to help them avoid burning out their volunteers.

If you haven’t listened to episode 2, “Volunteers, I know I need them, but how do I get them?”, we encourage you to take a listen.

Also, Chris wrote a blog post on this very subject which can be found here.
