Burnout Check-In

Answer honestly. This is for you.

1. I feel emotionally drained by ministry responsibilities.

2. I find myself resenting the people I am supposed to serve.

3. I feel like I am pretending to be okay when I am not.

4. I struggle to feel the presence of God, even when I try.

5. I have trouble turning off my mind, even during rest.

6. I avoid certain people or meetings because they feel draining.

7. I feel like my value is tied to how much I produce or perform.

8. I am experiencing physical symptoms of stress (fatigue, headaches, etc.).

9. I feel isolated even when surrounded by people.

10. I sometimes fantasize about quitting ministry or walking away from church altogether.
