CNLP 838 | "I Don't Want to Be That Guy": Chuck DeGroat on Shame, Burnout, the Limits of Spiritual Disciplines and the Nervous System

From The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast Art of Leadership Network

Chuck DeGroat has spent years helping pastors after the crisis hits. In this conversation, he explains why shame does more damage than fear, what your nervous system is trying to tell you before you burn out or hit a crisis in ministry, and why spiritual disciplines alone won't save you.

If you're a young leader or starting to see the cracks in ministry, listen closely.

AI AND THE FUTURE CHURCH: A BARNA INTENSIVE

On November 10th, I'm teaming up with Barna for a three-hour leadership intensive called AI and the Future Church, where you'll get never-before-seen research on how pastors and congregations are actually using AI, and leave with a one-page plan including the language for the AI policy your church needed yesterday.

GLOBAL CHRISTIAN RELIEF

Global Christian Relief supports persecuted believers in places like Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, and Iran, bringing Scripture where it's restricted and providing emergency relief when crisis hits. When you stand with the global church, you're not supporting a cause. You're standing with family. Check them out at gcrelief.org

GLOO

Gloo is the technology platform for the faith and flourishing ecosystem. They handle your tech and help you connect with the people you're trying to reach, so you can stay focused on the mission instead of burning nights holding your systems together.
