What I Learned By Taking A Sabbatical, with Karl Vaters (Ep 055)

Should all pastors take a sabbatical? If so, what should you do on yours, and what should be avoided?

In this solo podcast, I talk about lessons I learned on my recent sabbatical that will help you if you’re considering one yourself, including:

  • How long it should be
  • How to prepare for it
  • What to expect, emotionally and mentally
  • How to fade in and fade out of it slowly
  • and more
