How to Avoid Burnout in Ministry |
 |
 |
|
Written by Johannes Vorherr

Our daily commitments and personal tasks in everyday life require strength. This strength must be regenerated if burnout is to be avoided; that is if we are to avoid a state of being that truly presents a threat for the individual, because the symptoms of exhaustion, resignation, loss of strength and perspective, etc, could appear (and produce similar dangers as with the illness of depression).

Today's entry is the fourth entry in a series by David Pierce entitled "Principles of the Evangelistic Artists". This series is a preview of David’s highly anticipated new book for evangelistic artists. David Pierce explains that Christian artists are not normal artists. They should defy the conventions of the typical art scene and play by an entirely different set of rules than the world does.
4. God Wants The Glory The next difference is who gets the credit for my art. So often I do things for God, but in reality I am just trying to get a name for myself. But God wants to get the glory for what I do. When we started out with our band (No Longer Music), we got an invitation to play on a big talk show in Holland. It is called Sonja on Monday, and at that time it was the most famous talk show in Holland. It would be like getting on David Letterman in the States, except that it broadcasts live. It was an amazing opportunity, and I thought, God, this is going to open so many doors for us. |

3. Art Is Not Your Motivation Many Christian artists say they want to be radical for Jesus, but they follow the same set of rules as the world. If you truly want to be “radical” in a way that will allow you to see God’s power, you are going to have to go against conventional wisdom.
The first principle that contradicts “normal” thinking is that as a Christian artist, your motivation is not the art. This is completely different from how the world approaches it. And it is completely different from how most Christians approach it. |

2. God Is Desperate To Show His Power Outside the Church He is looking for men and women who are not going to be satisfied to just see his power within the context of church culture, but who are willing to do what it takes to see him move in secular places as well. |
