Kijuan “The Psalmist” Williams

• Ministry as a Burden: Ministry, intended to be a blessing, can become a burden due to inadequate support and overwhelming expectations. • Impact of Favoritism: Favoritism in the Church creates an unequal hierarchy, leading to feelings of unappreciation and diminished joy in service. • Pressure to Appear Strong: Believers often suppress fatigue and frustration, fearing judgment, leading to spiritual imbalance and emotional exhaustion. • Cause of Quiet Quitting: Favoritism and emotional suppression lead to internal detachment, turning ministry from a passionate calling to an unwelcome obligation. • Solution for Churches: Establish environments promoting honesty, vulnerability, and rest, while confronting favoritism. • Impact of Addressing Burdens: Recognizing and addressing unspoken burdens, especially favoritism, creates a thriving culture where believers serve with purpose and joy.
