The Bible is full of people who burn out. Elijah burned out and hid in the desert where he was fed by ravens. I lived this except for me it was food banks instead of ravens. David has his periods of burn out too.

I think Jesus avoided burn out by spending as much time in prayer as he did being with the people. Folks were always off looking for him as he had wandered away again. We are too tied to our schedules and offices and need to keep the people happy to just wander into the wilderness and seek God.

I will be checking back for part two.

Did anyone have the “Title” “pastor” in the Bible?
Was anyone ordained a “pastor” in the Bible?
Were any congregations “led” by a “pastor” in the Bible?

And every “pastor” I’ve met also had the “Title” “Reverend.”

Does anyone have the “Title” Reverend in the Bible?

In my experience…

Titles become Idols.
Pastors become Masters.

Heavy weights on shoulders NOT easy to lay down.

Jesus taught “His Disciples” NOT to be called “Master/Leader”
For you have “ONE” “Master/Leader” The Christ. Mat 23:8-10 KJV

Ezekiel 14:1-7, speaks about “Idols of the Heart,”
and now God will speak to us according to the “Idols of our Heart.”

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring, and they shall “hear my voice;”
and there shall be “ONE” fold, and “ONE” shepherd.
John 10:16

One Fold – One Shepherd – One Voice.
If Not Now, When?

Be blessed in your search for Truth… Jesus.
