The news: Christianity Today published a personal essay exploring how spiritual sleepiness can quietly creep in during seasons of intense activity and service. The author describes months of overcommitment — leading clubs, working multiple jobs, serving in ministry — and how exhaustion left them spiritually hollow, sustained only by God's grace through the Psalms.
Why it matters for church leaders: Indian pastors often carry crushing loads — preaching, counseling, administration, outreach, and family — with little margin for genuine spiritual renewal. The wellness culture's answer is mindfulness and self-care, but this piece argues that only a deep, Word-rooted encounter with God truly restores the soul of a minister.
The takeaway: Examine your own spiritual diet this week — are you feeding your congregation from genuine overflow, or running on empty?
