Burnout is the exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration (Merriam-Webster).
Burnout can occur in work environments as well as with one’s spirituality/faith.
Christianity burnout can happen to any believer.
Symptoms can include (but are not limited to) fatigue, apathy, physical illness, mental distress, frustration, lack of connection, an aversion to religious activities, and many more.
Rest and reflection are important to have in order to overcome these feelings.
Boundaries and rest are necessary for everyone.
Rest is so important that God made it as the focus of one of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:20).
