Some of us are actually addicted—not to drugs or alcohol, but to the adrenaline rush of doing. We might read about the need to rest and recharge, but we fear how many things might fall apart if we did. So we just keep going.

As a result, our own lives remain largely unchanged, and the only thing we have to give away to those we lead is our shallow discipleship.
