You may have already seen this in last week's article, but starting at the end of this week, I'm headed on a new adventure. My new journey will be to take a 40-day sabbatical, something I've never yet had the opportunity to do in my 40 years of ministry.On today's episode, it's just Austin and I sharing some reflections on the decision for me to go on sabbatical, the heartache we feel for pastors who don't feel like this would ever be an option, and the hope for small-church pastors to replenish.If you're in a place in your life where Jesus Himself is calling you to do something, and you can't do it because of your ministry, you're in a bad spot.I am prayerful that this episode will speak to your heart today. And I am trusting it will solidify a message that I believe God is speaking to many of us.Also: The podcast will still continue while I'm on sabbatical starting this Saturday, and I look forward to sharing what I learn during this period of rest when I get back at the beginning of August!Show Notes: https://www.95network.org/sabbatical-episode-84/Support the show (https://www.95network.org/contact-us/)
