Episode 6: Tips to Avoid Church Hurt and Burnout
In Episode 6 of the Conscious Christian Marriage Podcast, Austin and Rachel Holt dive into a common challenge many couples face: preventing burnout while serving at church. Drawing from their extensive experience in church leadership, the Holts offer practical strategies and personal stories to help couples balance serving, home life, and spiritual growth.
Key Topics Covered:
- Church and Rest: How being a part of the church is about both service and rest, and why it’s important to balance both.
- Regulating Your Commitments: Why it's crucial to take responsibility for your own serving commitments rather than expecting church leaders to manage them for you.
- Dopamine Auditing: How the praise and appreciation you receive at church can sometimes overshadow the lack of recognition at home, leading to an imbalance in where you spend your time and energy.
- Avoiding Hero, Victim, Villain Mode: The importance of creating win-win situations in serving, rather than overextending yourself, feeling unappreciated, and potentially leaving the church altogether.
The Holts also share their personal journey of serving in the church, including how they’ve navigated seasons of burnout, and what they've learned along the way. They emphasize the power of clear agreements, both in marriage and in church service, to ensure that serving remains joyful and sustainable.
Plus, in this episode, the Holts highlight ReHope KC, a nonprofit that support s human trafficking survivors by providing long-term housing, trauma care, and job skills. Find out how you can support their mission at rehope.org.
