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. I read/researched about five hours a day and attended a DMin residency. My wife and I took long walks to pray and dream. I regularly communicated with our elders ...

Sabbatical was forced detox—8,400 feet of elevation, not a cell tower in sight. It was refreshing. Sabbatical gave us the gift of quiet and simplicity.
With only two weeks left, I thought our big “God moments” were winding down. I was wrong. As we were walking out of a random church after worship, I was shocked to bump into Doug,* an old friend and former pastor. About five years earlier, Doug had been caught having an affair with his secretary. This morning he was alone, looking somewhat sad. As ...
Jul 8, 2020 · A sabbatical allows a pastor to be a gospel recipient – to hear the Word of God preached to him without being responsible for the rest of the service. It allows for family renewal time. Even the strongest ministry families I know need intentional time alone to reinvest in each other.
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.
