As her health coach, I waited\u2014pen in hand\u2014to take notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I usually have black coffee while I answer emails at 6 AM,\u201d she said. &#8220;I\u2019ll have a peanut butter sandwich at lunch (if I remember to eat). Then I grab dinner out with a friend before more evening meetings until 9 PM.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did some quick math in my head.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo\u2026you eat about 1100 calories a day and sleep six hours,\u201d I said. \u201cThat might explain how you feel. Your work is admirable\u2026but you\u2019re doing it malnourished and sleep-deprived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 70+ other clergy women have shared similar stories of burning out their bodies in ministry since I began coaching women in fitness as an ordained clergy person myself in 2019. Let\u2019s take a minute and see what God has to say about this phenomenon in Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: Matthew 12:23-28:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>One sabbath he was going through the grain-fields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. And the Pharisees said to him, \u201cLook, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?\u201d And he said to them, \u201cHave you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God, when Abi\u02b9athar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?\u201d And he said to them, \u201cThe sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reflect:<\/strong>&nbsp;You may have read this passage 1,000 times before, but today I want you to think about it through the lens of bodies and burnout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here the disciples are\u2026likely exhausted after a long ministry-filled day of meetings, healings, worship, and keeping up with a spritely Jesus. They haven\u2019t eaten. They\u2019ve barely slept. All they want is a little grain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how do the authorities react? They\u2019re furious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t do that!\u201d the Pharisees exclaim. \u201cThe system isn\u2019t set up that way! Obedience to God means sacrifice of self. Don\u2019t you know that? Put down that grain!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder if you\u2019ve ever had a Pharisee-like voice inside your head in ministry. That little voice whispering that the cues your body gives you (signs that you need nourishing food, sleep, exercise, etc.) can wait because other things \u201ctrump it\u201d or \u201cneed doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That Pharisee-like voice fuels burnout (along with heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, various cancers, etc.)\u2026and Jesus is having none of it in Matthew 12.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we meet a Jesus who says \u201cNO\u201d to rhythms that keep the disciples ragged, hungry, and overworked. Burning out one\u2019s body does not serve the Church, Jesus seems to say. It weakens it\u2026so much so that God incarnate is willing to fight institutional leadership to make sure the disciples get a proper meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Take Action:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Reflect on how your life in ministry feels in your body right now. If you were to rate it on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being \u201cI can\u2019t keep going like this! I need more sleep, exercise, and energy!\u201d and 1 being \u201cI\u2019m feeling nourished, strong, healthy, and happy!\u201d\u2026what would you say? If your number is greater than 1, reach out to an accountability partner or mentor this week and set up a time to have an honest conversation. Talk about what needs to change for you to say \u201cyes\u201d to Jesus\u2019 invitation to nourish and strengthen the beautiful, profoundly capable body God gave you for the work you do each and every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In partnership,<br>Center for Leadership Excellence and the Commission on the Status and Role of Women<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, I sat down with the director of a $1M+ nonprofit and asked what she ate in a day.
