Have you ever felt the weight of the world crushing your spirit, leaving you gasping for air, yearning for a lifeline? Ever wondered how you'd continue to function, let alone inspire others, amidst personal turmoil and global chaos? This is where Pastor Pat Robbins found himself - staring at a precipice of overwhelming loss, personal health crisis, and ministry challenges, all while navigating an unnerving election and the throes of a pandemic. Join me as I sit down with this resilient soul from the Brown City United Methodist Church, who takes us through his journey from the edge of burnout to a place of restoration and renewal.

Pastor Pat unravels his experience, recounting the sleepless nights, the irritability, the unbearable urge to retreat from the world - stark reminders of the pressures ministry leaders often endure. Yet, his narrative isn't just about despair; it's a testament to the transformative power of reaching out for help and the healing potency of taking time for oneself. Drawing from his experiences, Pastor Pat paints a vivid picture of his sabbatical - a crucial turning point that helped him refocus on his health and well-being. His story resonates deeply, serving as a beacon for those in ministry and beyond, underlining the importance of self-care even when tasked with caring for others. So, join us in this heartfelt conversation, and take away a lesson or two about resilience, healing, and the art of self-preservation in the most trying times.
