Ministry is a high-calling that requires the pouring out of one’s soul. Without intentional seasons of
replenishment, even the most vibrant leaders find themselves "leading on empty." This guide is

of sabbatical—a planned time to rest, reset, and retool. Many healthy congregations now implement a
sabbatical policy every 8 years to ensure the long-term health of their pastoral staff.
