What happens when the work you once felt called to do starts to feel heavy?
In this episode of Leading Locally, Wes Harrell, Regional Director for Church of the Highlands Auburn Dream Center, joins us for a conversation about burnout, healthy rhythms, perspective, and renewing your sense of purpose as a leader.
Wes shares how a physically and mentally demanding mission trip through the mountains of Nepal challenged him to rethink his own frustrations and rediscover the meaning behind his work. He also shares practical lessons for leaders on creating margin, protecting their time and energy, embracing the disciplines they may not naturally gravitate toward, and recognizing that a new role or assignment isn't always the answer.
It's a conversation about stepping away from the noise, taking ownership of what gets your best, and remembering why the work, and the people you're leading, matter in the first place.
