EP6: When Ministry Burnout Redefines Your Calling

"Is my worth just what I do for God?"In this episode of Holy & Messy, Beth joins us to share how God gently rewrote her understanding of calling, work and identity.From hating her own teenage years to becoming a youth worker…from a “boring” prophecy about being a counsellor to actually training as one…from burnout in full-time ministry to working in a pet shop and rediscovering God’s love…Beth’s story shows that calling isn’t a job title — it’s a journey of letting God shape who we become.We talk about:– How a simple prayer for a heart for young people changed everything – Life inside the Eden Network and living missionally in your neighbourhood – Studying counselling in a secular university while staying rooted in Jesus – Why authenticity matters more than trying to be “cool” in youth work – The difference between selling the gospel and sharing it genuinely – Learning that our identity comes from Christ, not our productivity – Recovering from burnout and rethinking what it means to be loved by GodIf you’ve ever felt guilty for “not doing enough,” if you’ve wondered how your 9–5 connects with your faith, or if you’re wrestling with direction and calling…this conversation is for you.This is Episode 7 of “The People, The Path & The Faith.”🕊️ If you’d like prayer or want to share how you’re living out your faith outside church walls, drop it in the comments.
