About this listen

As a social worker, jail chaplain, and justice advocate, Bethany Dearborn Hiser pushed herself to the brink of burnout - and then kept going. Stress, despair, and compassion fatigue overwhelmed her ability to function. She was called to serve the abused, addicted, and homeless people in her community. Yet she was emotionally and spiritually exhausted.

Something needed to change. Searching for answers, Hiser learned that trauma affects everyone who is exposed to it - not only those experiencing firsthand violence, homelessness, and addiction, but also the social workers, therapists, pastors, relief workers, teachers, and community development workers who are trying to help. Psychologists call it "secondary trauma". Hiser discovered that she needed the very soul care that she was providing to others.

From Burned Out to Beloved is Hiser's story of burnout, self-discovery, and spiritual renewal. But more than that, it's a trauma-informed soul care guide for Christians working in high-stress, helping professions. There are many resources on secondary trauma and spiritual disciplines, but few bring these areas together. From Burned Out to Beloved equips listeners to confess their limitations, embrace their identities as beloved children of God, and flourish in the ministries where God has called them.

Hit & Miss

This book contained some extremely helpful truths that I needed to hear in my struggle of overcoming PTSD as a believer in Christ, as well as developing an improved view of my own self-worth as a Child of God. I was less than impressed by the frequent tying in of the social justice motifs, as if they were somehow a way to justify that the author or book was culturally sensitive and written within the 21st century rules of political correctness. Throwing around terms like white guilt, white dominated cultures, and white privilege in a book that is claiming to be grounded in the equal love of all people by a Holy God was not appropriate in my opinion.

Negativity

Way too much negativity and judgementalism to be healing for the soul. Maybe change the title
