BURNOUT, COMPASSION FATIGUE, MINISTRY EXHAUSTION …
If you intentionally follow Jesus, you’ve likely experienced the drain. Perhaps you feel called to your ministry and care deeply about the people you serve but face inward battles of discouragement, loneliness, and flat-out weariness. You’re not alone—studies show that 9 out of 10 Christians in ministry are feeling it, too. But what if your Father wants to saturate your soul, not just use you to build His kingdom?
Through personal stories and reflective practices, Corella Roberts offers six key steps to help you incorporate restorative rhythms right where you are: listen well, create safety, get personal, bring all of you, let God fight, and persevere realistically.
Don’t trudge through your desert, one weary day at a time. Bare your face skyward, faithful one, and catch the rain.

Sound familiar? Those were Corella’s questions, too, as she found herself in a literal and spiritual wilderness after answering the call to become a missionary teacher in remote Alaska. Through these pages, you’ll journey with her to unearth glimpses of God’s purpose for those seven dark years. With tenderness and conviction, she examines the reality of the wilderness in the life of the believer and the scriptural truths that offer hope in the midst of disappointment.
Corella’s story of undoing and rebirth in the wilderness just might be your story, too, if you dare to let God take you there.
