@churchtalkative Heaven is byproduct of the relationship with God. Heaven is not the prize. Knowing God in a deep relationship is the prize - He delights in us. We should delight in Him.

@AustinCEckert I feel it. I got tickets to this game.

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

@bewarephog I got tickets to the KU/KSU game on the east side for the same reason - the view. Are the concessions better than they were from last year?

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

@kutweetsandnews Agreed.

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

@staggles14 @grilledbybill Might be better for chemistry sake.

@BryBryStrick But it’s funny to know what others outside of “western” Kansas think is “western” KS.

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

@BryBryStrick 4-2 is central Kansas and 2-0 is eastern Kansas.

Burnout doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you’re human. Take a step today toward renewal. What’s one thing you’ll do this week for your soul? #PastorCare

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

1/ Burnout isn’t just stress—it’s deep exhaustion that impacts your ministry, family, and faith. Many pastors feel guilty for struggling, but the truth is: you are not called to exhaustion. Let’s talk about it. #PastorBurnout

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

7/ If you’re on the edge of burnout, please hear this:
🙏 You are not alone.
🛑 You do not have to keep pushing.
💬 You can ask for help.
💡 You can be restored.

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

Burnout is real in ministry. Symptoms include exhaustion, irritability, and feeling ineffective. Sabbath isn’t optional—it’s a gift. Take time to rest, reconnect with God, and recharge. #MinistryBurnout #SoulCare

[Clay Porterfield @ClayPorterfield]

Pastors are often expected to be everything to everyone. Remember: you’re not God. Set boundaries, delegate, and allow yourself grace. It’s not weakness; it’s wisdom. #HealthyLeadership #ChurchMentalHealth
