Hello, I’m glad you’ve come here. I'm Bonita Eby, a leader who experienced ministry burnout and compassion fatigue. As a retired pastor, Burnout Prevention Consultant and certified coach, I passionately support pastors, ministry leaders, boards and churches to prevent burnout.
I know what it's like to lead hundreds of people in a church, train leaders, equip volunteers, and present the Sunday message. I've responded to crises, comforted the dying and cared for their loved ones.
With over 25 years of experience in professional healthcare, leadership development and pastoral ministry, I help churches, organizations, and pastors thrive.
The pressures of ministry
Church staff pour themselves into caring for their congregations and communities. But who cares for you?
The pressures of ministry can leave pastors feeling overextended, stressed, and exhausted. Pastors and ministry leaders are resigning due to burnout more than ever before. But it doesn't have to be that way.
As a pastor who has overcome ministry burnout and compassion fatigue, I am on a mission to end burnout.
Consulting services for leadership & elder boards
I partner with you to address the challenges your board, pastoral staff and church face.
Workshops & training
Workshops provide customized, high-quality training and resources to ministry leaders, churches, boards and church conferences to support burnout prevention.
