Noah has a conversation with Sean Nemecek on the high rate of burnout by those in serving fields like nurses, doctors, counselors, teachers, and pastors. They hone in on pastors and the church, looking at what causes burnout, how we can better care for our pastors, and what spiritual practices are needed by all of us. 

Sean Nemecek is the author of The Weary Leader’s Guide to Burnout (Outreach Magazine’s 2024 Leadership Resource of the Year) and the West Michigan Regional Director for Pastor-in-Residence Ministries. Sean served as a pastor for 18 years before joining PIR. Now he works as both a spiritual director and ministry coach — specializing in coaching people through burnout and helping organizations develop an anti-burnout culture. He is all about helping people feel seen, heard, and known in the welcoming presence of our loving God.
