There's a moment most church media leaders never talk about — the moment you think about walking away.
In this episode, Dan Wathen gets honest about a season that nearly broke him. The Sundays looked fine from the outside. But behind the scenes, the pressure, the exhaustion, and the weight of ministry media had pushed him to the edge.
If you've ever felt like you're running on empty in your role — this one's for you.
What we cover:
- The reality of burnout in church media
- Why "Sundays are going well" doesn't always mean you're okay
- What Dan learned from nearly stepping away completely
