If you're tired of pretending you're fine, this book is for you.
Nearly half of pastors have wrestled with anxiety and depression. Twelve percent of pastors have considered suicide. Behind pulpits across the country, the people called to carry hope are quietly collapsing under its weight - and most of them are doing it alone.
Bishop Gregory Morris knows this terrain. In 2018, after four decades of ministry, he sat in a doctor's office and heard the words he'd been running from: You're not healthy. What followed was a three-year journey through burnout, breakdown, and the slow, hard-won work of rebuilding a life and a calling.
Rise Above Quit is the book Greg wishes someone had handed him then. Drawing on the biblical stories of Elijah and Job, current research on clergy burnout, and the unvarnished lessons of his own collapse and comeback, he offers a roadmap for ministry leaders who refuse to quit but can no longer continue as they are.
You'll learn how to recognize the warning signs you've been dismissing, dismantle the messiah complex that's destroying you, rebuild from the inside out, and finish the race God called you to run.
Quitting isn't an option. But neither is surviving on empty.
There is a far better life. This book will help you find it.
