NEWSLETTER 18 SEPTEMBER 2026

Many pastors and leaders run at a pace that feels normal—until their family starts paying the price. In this week’s newsletter, I share the moment I realised my burnout wasn’t just affecting me, but everyone who was living at the speed I was setting. If you want to build a sustainable rhythm for your life, leadership, and family, this will help.

Here’s something people don’t always tells you about unsustainable pace:

Your family feels it before you do.

My kids noticed I was always tired before I admitted it.
Dianne noticed I was checked out before I realized it.

They were living at my pace, not their own.

And they were paying the cost.

The conversation at Cottesloe Beach wasn’t really about my burnout.

It was about my pace.

It was about the fact that my pace had become unsustainable for everyone in my family, not just me.

That’s when I realized: fixing burnout isn’t just about me getting better.

It’s about redesigning the pace I’m asking my whole family to live at.

In my new book, I show you exactly how to do redesign your pace so your family doesn’t have to pay the price anymore.

It launches October.
