16. Finding Our Way Through Burnout (with Sean Nemecek)

On today's episode, Adam Ormord (President and Founder of LifePoint Resources) welcomes Sean Nemecek to the podcast to talk about the very serious issue of burnout, especially for those who serve in ministry. This is an important conversation as we recognize the elevated state of stress and exhaustion affecting so many leaders in our communities and churches. Hope, help and health are available to all of us, so listen and share with those in need.

"It's my goal that people really experience their union with Christ, the depth of security they have with Him, and the freedom to minister out of God's love." - Sean Nemecek
