Christian are Affected by Chronic Stress & Burnout

“Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.” 3 John 1:2 (TPT)

Christians are affected by stress.

Stress is a common experience that affects individuals from all walks of life, including Christians. However, the sources of stress for Christians may differ from those of non-Christians due to their faith-based beliefs and values.

Working with a Christian holistic coach for chronic stress and burnout can be a meaningful and transformative experience for a Christian. The shared values, whole-person approach, and integration of faith can provide a unique perspective and approach to physical and emotional healing, spiritual growth, personalized support, and a safe environment. By incorporating faith into the coaching process, a Christian holistic coach can help the client make sustainable lifestyle changes that promote overall health and well-being.

Christians experience stress due to their faith and beliefs.

• Spiritual concerns: Christians may experience stress due to concerns about their faith and salvation, questioning their beliefs, and feeling distant from God.
• Life events: Christians may experience stress due to life events such as marriage, parenthood, career changes, and health issues.
• Persecution: Christians may experience stress due to persecution or discrimination for their faith.
• Guilt and shame: Christians may experience stress due to feelings of guilt and shame for past sins or struggles with temptation.

Problems Christians face due to stress.

• Spiritual crisis: Stress can cause Christians to question their faith, lose their connection to God, and experience a spiritual crisis.
• Relationship problems: Stress can cause Christians to become irritable, impatient, and distant from loved ones, resulting in strained relationships.
• Burnout: Chronic Stress can cause Christians to become burnt out from overworking, overcommitting, and neglecting self-care.
• Health issues: Stress can cause Christians to experience physical health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and weakened immune systems.

Reasons to work with a Christian holistic coach.

• Shared Values: A Christian holistic coach shares the same Christian values and beliefs as the client. This shared foundation can provide a sense of comfort and safety for the client, knowing that their coach understands and values their faith.
• Whole-Person Approach: A Christian holistic coach takes a whole-person approach to coaching, addressing the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical aspects of the client. This approach aligns with the Christian belief that humans are created as holistic beings with interconnected parts.
• Integration of Faith: A Christian holistic coach integrates faith into the coaching process, providing a unique perspective and approach to stress and brain and body health. This integration can help the client to connect their faith with their overall health and well-being.
• Safe Space: A Christian holistic coach provides a safe and non-judgmental space for the client to share their struggles, challenges, and fears related to stress and brain and body health. This space can promote healing and growth.

A faith-based holistic coach

Coach Deborah enjoys consulting and coaching both Christians and non-Christians.

But working with believers in Christ, to help  manage chronic stress and conquer burnout, becomes a different coaching experience, due to the “God Factor.”

Coach Deborah has the training and expertise to help individuals, but when she invites Almighty God to join the session through prayer, the session takes on a different dynamic. The atmosphere changes, answers flow and healing manifests quicker. He is the true healer and gives the Grace to change.

Christian leadership is under a great amount of stress.

The statistics are staggering:

75% of pastors report being “extremely stressed” or “highly stressed”
90% work between 55 to 75 hours per week
90% feel fatigued and worn out every week
100% of 1,050 Reformed and Evangelical pastors had a colleague who had left the ministry because of burnout, church conflict, or moral failure
91% have experienced some form of burnout in ministry and 18% say they are “fried to a crisp right now” (Source)
