In this deeply honest and courageous conversation, Ps Nate Phor sits down with Ps Paul Barber shares his personal journey through burnout in ministry – and the road to healing on the other side.
After decades of faithfully serving others, Paul opens up about the hidden toll of carrying people’s pain, the warning signs he didn’t recognise and the moment everything came to a halt. With humility and clarity, he reflects on the importance of boundaries, the danger of “just pushing through” and the critical need for external support.
This episode is both a sobering and hope-filled reminder: you can love God, serve faithfully and still need help. Whether you’re in ministry, leadership or simply navigating the weight of life, this conversation will encourage you to prioritise your health, process your pain and rediscover sustainable ways to care for others – without losing yourself in the process.
