Welcome to Jeremiah Institute, where Dr. J. J. Turner produces educational materials for equipping preachers, leaders and Christians in burnout prevention and curative strategies.
Ever had any of these thoughts as a minister?
- “I can’t do this any longer; I’m stressed out.”
- “I am in over my head.”
- “I wish I could quit and find another job.”
- “These people don’t care.”
- “My wife is in depression.”
These are just a few of the numerous complaints ministers make weekly as they struggle with stress and burnout. From stress and burnout come anger, depression, frustration, procrastination, quitting, headaches, backaches, and many other unhealthy conditions. Ministry stress and burnout can rob you of joy and peace if not properly handled.
The Jeremiah Institute is dedicated to providing positive and biblical solutions to the challenges of stress and burnout. It is possible to rekindle the fire as Jeremiah did, but it will take work. This site contains opportunities to enrich your personal growth, as well as provide tools to enhance your ministry. I encourage you to use them frequently and to share this site with other ministers.
