In this comprehensive and culturally nuanced study, Dr. Techika Rhodes addresses the silent crisis of exhaustion facing female missionaries and evangelists within the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). By intersecting theology, African American history, and clinical research, Dr. Rhodes provides a definitive blueprint for sustaining the soul while serving the sanctuary.

The text serves as a scholarly yet deeply practical intervention against the culture of over-performance. Dr. Rhodes moves beyond generic wellness advice, instead situating self-care as a spiritual discipline rooted in scriptural truth and Womanist resilience. The work culminates in the creation of a specialized Burnout Prevention Manual, a first-of-its-kind resource tailored to the unique ecclesiastical demands of COGIC missionaries.
