Avoiding Overload and Burnout

by Arthur Nisly

After describing what overload and burnout looks like, this presentation discusses and looks at solutions to common external and internal causes, wrestling with what it means to have appropriate balance in all areas of life. How sad when uniquely gifted individuals must leave strategic places of ministry because of overload and burnout!
