Sabbatical Coaching
Phase 1: Preparing for Sabbatical
We begin several months before the sabbatical to help you and your spouse (if applicable):
Clarify the purpose of your sabbatical
Design a sabbatical plan that includes space for rest, family, and spiritual growth
Prepare your congregation and family for the transition
A guided, gospel-centered journey through rest, reflection, and renewal.
Phase 2: Walking Through the Sabbatical
During the sabbatical itself, we provide regular one-on-one coaching sessions for both you and your spouse. These sessions help:
Process what God is revealing during the sabbatical
Make real-time adjustments to the plan as needed
Encourage identity renewal, emotional health, and relational investment
What Makes This Unique
Couples-based support: We coach both the pastor and their spouse through every phase.
Gospel-centered framework: Every session is grounded in grace, honesty, and deep trust in God’s work.
Customized guidance: Each sabbatical plan is shaped around your life, your calling, and your unique stage of ministry.
Phase 3: Re-Entry and Integration
The final phase focuses on helping you and your spouse transition back into ministry life with renewed purpose and sustainable practices. We’ll help you:
Implement key insights from the sabbatical
Establish new rhythms for spiritual and relational health
Plan a healthy return to leadership responsibilities
