From Burned Out to Beloved

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“From Burned Out to Beloved literally woos us as service providers and as leaders to slow down, to breathe in deeply the knowledge we are the Trinity's beloved child, and to be transformed! For twenty-two years I was the executive director of New Horizons, a ministry for homeless youth and young women involved in prostitution. Those years taught me and those I served with much about the trauma that can come into one's soul as we loved and served those in great need. We learned—through listening to the Trinity, practicing vulnerability with each other, and many trials and errors—much of the truth Bethany profoundly shares through her book. She has encapsulated significant truth, depth of understanding, and tools to embrace spiritual, emotional, and physical wholeness while learning from those you serve. For the last twelve years I have served as a spiritual director to Christian leaders and have seen the vital truths Bethany teaches us transform the lives of leaders who are weary and in need. I deeply encourage you to read this book slowly, to engage in Bethany's suggested practices, and to learn the joy of burning without being consumed. Just as Scripture calls out, this is holy ground.”
