A sabbatical is an unearned gift, just like the gospel. I didn’t deserve it, but boy did I need it. Time away forced me to appreciate that my relationship with God is more fundamental than any accomplishment for God.
Ours gave the church an opportunity to love our family and remember that we need Jesus too. The entire body had opportunities to grow; the leadership stepped up in amazing ways. It wasn’t an overwhelming jolt to a church that practices a plurality of pastor/elders.
Our family strives to live with healthy margins. Even so, our sabbatical was a treasure to all of us. It was an adventure, seeing new places, playing countless games, and snuggling up to missionary stories each night. A sabbatical will probably only happen once (if at all) for a pastor’s family with the kids still home. They will remember it foreve...
When someone said, “I wish I could leave my job whenever I want,” one of our elders told me, “This isyour job.” He was right. Every morning we rose early, spending extended time with God.

About five years earlier, Doug had been caught having an affair with his secretary. This morning he was alone, looking somewhat sad. As ...
May 22, 2023 · A sabbatical allows a leader to take an extended retreat to focus on God, hear his voice and receive direction for the next chapter in his life. This benefits his congregation and people under his leadership because he will have fresh vision, not only for himself but also for the people he is called to lead.
Nov 17, 2020 · Sabbaticals are a powerful tool to address the deep issues of leadership. They can positively impact the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of church leaders. Taking time to step away from ministry can help a pastor recalibrate priorities, seek God in an unhurried way, and clarify what is really important.
