I've noticed that quite a few weary folks seem to be finding this blog through google word searches which indicate that they are spiritually burnt out. Unfortunately, the posts they are being led to by google are some current things I blogged recently regarding spiritual disciplines and how tired, burnt out pastors are being told to go to contemplative retreats and learn how to practice rhythms, the Daily Office, and other contemplative monkish practices (eeks, I just used spell check and it is suggesting I use parasites for practices! LOL!) Anyways, I felt kind of bad about not offering an alternative to that and some good living water. But who am I to do that? Nevertheless, I happened to find a good thing about it, and have since updated those posts.
Now, if you think you have spiritual burnout, I don't know who you are, but religion and spiritual disciplines are not the answer. So how do you find life in Christ when you are spiritually burnt out? I don't know who it is who wrote this, or who might benefit from it (we've all been there), but when I found this nice little write up I thought it had some refreshing advice that was just too good not to blog:
