IXMarks hat eben eine Ausgabe ihrer Zeitschrift dem Thema "Ausgebrannte Pastoren" gewidmet. Hier geht es zum meinen Notizen. Matt Schmucker stellt 30 hilfreiche diagnostische Fragen:

- Do my convictions run deep?
- Do I live with that “Great Day” in view?
- Am I growing weary of doing good?
- Am I living on the force and strength of activities?
- Am I an over-exposed introvert?
- Am I praying?
- Am I a procrastinator?
- Do I delegate well?
- Am I humble?
- Do I fear man or God more?
Äusserlich
- Do I have friends?
- How are my home finances?
- Am I bogged down in administration?
- Am I physically fit for the task at hand?
- Am I working on my days off?
- Do I take all my vacation days?
- Do I have young children?
- Do I have a supportive wife?
- Am I pressed on every side?
- Do I have real and historical mentors?
- Am I doing all I can to repair broken or difficult relationships?
