Welcome back to the podcast where the coffee is strong, the theology is deeper than your group text, and the jokes… well, they're dad-approved. Today’s episode is extra special—we're talking about something that's needed for the care of one of our own… Pastor Dave's sabbatical! That’s right—he’s taking a break, catching his breath, and possibly learning how to properly use the ‘Do Not Disturb’ button on his phone. We’ll dive into what a sabbatical really is (spoiler: it’s not just an extended nap, although we fully support those), why it matters, and how we can be praying for Pastor Dave while he’s away—not just that he comes back refreshed and a deeper appreciation for but dad jokes. Okay, maybe the last one is just for me. So grab your coffee, find a comfy chair, and let’s talk rest, rhythms, and why even pastors need a timeout sometimes.
