nature. This focus provides crucial insights in terms of
understanding how a Christian's work fulfills a God-given calling
and reflects the Christian doctrine of the image of God.

In A Christian Approach to Work and Family Burnout, Thomas V.
Frederick and Scott E. Dunbar provide a Christian spiritual model
to prevent and cope with burnout caused by the workplace and
conflict with family. Coupled with indifference and lack of
urgency, burnout eliminates a sense of purposefulness and results
in psychological depletion. To counter this, Frederick and Dunbar
stress the importance of connecting with God in order to understand
intrinsic motivations and redefine work as a calling and means to
care for others.
