However I don't quite agree with the criteria on the spiritual burnout above. Pride? Fulfilling the Letter and not the Spirit? Moral failure? Moral failure should not be categorized as spiritual burnout. Pride, maybe and maybe not - very subjective depending on the situation. Fulfilling the letter and not the spirit? Honestly, I don't quite get this one. If you are saying doing all the work and spend not enough time with God, well, if you are in a small startup church ministry like mine, if I don't do all the work, who will? We cannot afford to pay someone to. Does it affect my spiritual life - YES, and not just that, it also affect my relationship with my wife and kids. I agree with Kevin.

Maybe, reading something into a sermon that is not there, and then up and quiting the church without even contacting you...... Major Burnout!
