How to stay in the ministry without burning out.
I've poured my experiences and research into 9 keys to help pastors and churches have a Sabbatical that is truly restorative.
A well-led Sabbatical is your moment in time to consider where you have been, what's next, and what it will take to move you forward.
Reflection
Ministry carries a weight to it that never seems to off-load. Creating space is a necessary step towards your future story.

About Thomas Thompson
If I had the power, this book would be for everyone.
I believe every human was designed with a need for regular, restorative rhythms- a good night's sleep, a day off each week, times of vacation, seasons of reflection and rest. And if I was in charge of the world, I would make sure everyone could have these.
But I don't have that power.
What I do have is 25 years of pursuing restoration, studying the effects of living sustainably and unsustainably, and seeing the effects when restoration is NOT pursued. After experiencing the life-changing gift of a well-coached sabbatical, I decided to help other leaders do the same.
