184: When the Plate is Too Full: Boundaries, Delegation, and Self-Care in Ministry
Update: 2025-06-12
Description
“Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’ve been strong for too long without rest.” In this episode of The Care Ministry Podcast, Laura Howe and Rebecca Bailey explore the challenges ministry leaders face when trying to juggle too many responsibilities. They unpack the "What’s on Your Plate?" exercise, a practical tool that reveals just how overwhelmed we often are and guides leaders in setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and avoiding burnout. With wisdom and vulnerability, they offer encouragement for ministry leaders to care for themselves while faithfully serving others.
