Chasing Assurance Podcast
Podcast Description
Spiritual Assurance: More Than “I Hope So.”
People long for assurance. We search for it, ache for it, and often live in fear without it.
Many walk through life haunted by questions like, “Am I truly saved?” or “Does God still love me after what I’ve done?” These aren't just theological questions—they're deeply personal, heart-level concerns.
The Chasing Assurance Podcast will bring clarity, comfort, and Biblical confidence to those who wrestle with their relationship with God. This is more than a conversation—it's an invitation to rest in the truth of the Gospel and walk in spiritual assurance.

In Episode 18 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry Peer and his father, Dr. Terry L. Peer, dive into one of the most relatable struggles in Christian life — burnout in ministry and church service.
From vocational ministers who feel drained to volunteers who serve tirelessly every Sunday, this conversation unpacks how to find true joy and assurance in serving Christ. Using Ephesians 2:8–10 and 1 Peter 4:10–11, they remind us that while we’re not saved by works, we are created for them.
They discuss:
– The emotional and spiritual dangers of ministry burnout
– The “80/20 rule” in church work (and why it’s often misunderstood)
– Why comparison and “scorekeeping” among volunteers kills joy
– How to align your spiritual gifts with the work God prepared for you
– Four key “quadrants” of Christian service (Able/Willing vs. Unable/Unwilling)
– How to build healthier church teams and avoid burnout through boundaries
– The biblical difference between working for God’s glory and for recognition
A heartfelt Lester’s Feet Foundation segment honors Jason Beachy, a faithful friend and supporter, followed by a touching story about connecting the Ward family with artist Emersyn Day—a powerful reminder that service is ministry when it flows from love.
They close with 1 Peter 4:10–11, challenging listeners to serve faithfully so that “in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”
