Weakness is good for you - with Matt Fuller

Pastoral weakness is not something to hide; pastoral weakness can deepen dependence on God. 

Matt Fuller joins Dominic Steele to speak honestly about ministry burnout, depression and accepting personal limitations. 

Matt describes standing up in front of his church, telling them he couldn’t cope with being told to take time off by his elders.

Matt describes a conversation with his senior elders when he was in trouble and was confronted by his senior elder about time off and burnt out. 

Matt puts it down to overwork, a complex season around his mother’s death and the extra difficulties of managing the church and staff team during COVID. 

At the time he was angry and when he stopped working, the depression sunk in and he just wanted to quit. 

Matt says his vulnerability has helped the church to be more honest with each other.
