Do you find yourself self-medicating with too much coffee, food, or busyness? Are you exhausted at the end of the day and sleep doesn't help? Do you wonder if you might need to take a sabbatical or quit ministry to get relief?  Chuck DeGroat, pastor, counselor, educator, and author, says that burnout recovery might actually begin in the last place you want to look: humiliation and the very end of yourself. He suggests that just tweaking some habits might actually be getting in the way of the deeper work God wants to do within you.  Connect with Chuck DeGroat's work: https://www.chuckdegroat.net/ [https://www.chuckdegroat.net/] Is it Sin or a Style of Coping? substack article [https://sitwithchuck.substack.com/p/is-it-sin-or-a-style-of-coping] Click the subscribe button to begin receiving our weekly email: https://www.resilientclc.com/ [https://www.resilientclc.com/]
