Have You Lost Your Calling… Or Are You Just Burned Out?

What do you do when you no longer trust your pastor? How do you know whether it’s time to leave a church? And have you really lost your calling—or are you simply burned out? In this episode of Worship Is My Weapon, Rita Springer answers real questions from worship leaders, church staff and people navigating the complicated realities of serving in ministry. Rita gets candid about honoring leaders you disagree with, leaving a church without carrying offense into the next one, unhealthy expectations of loyalty, ministry burnout, losing your passion for worship, and the desire for a bigger platform. She also shares honestly about questioning her own calling as a songwriter and the exhaustion that can come from playing the “game” of the worship industry. And underneath every question is an even deeper one: What is God trying to do in you through the season you’re in? 0:00 Intro 1:10 Welcome to Worship Is My Weapon 5:25 Supporting Wearing Justice & the Podcast 7:30 The Story Behind Wearing Justice 9:30 What Today’s Q&A Is About 13:36 How Do I Honor a Pastor I No Longer Trust? 21:57 How Do You Know When It’s Time to Leave a Church? 25:56 What If Loyalty Doesn’t Allow Disagreement? 33:44 Burnout or Losing Your Calling? 38:23 What If I Don’t Feel Anything When Leading Worship? 45:10 Can I Want a Bigger Platform and Still Want Jesus? 52:50 Knowing God vs. Just Doing Ministry 53:47 Learning to Hear God’s Voice 60:01 Final Encouragement & Closing If you're enjoying the show, please rate and review!
