Permission to Pause

Permission to Pause Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is stop. This week, my husband, Pastor Rohan Thompson, joins me for an honest conversation about what God taught us during our recent family vacation to Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Although we stepped away from our normal ministry rhythm, we quickly discovered that rest doesn't happen automatically. It requires intentionality. In this episode we discuss: Why leaders often struggle to rest The difference between being away and actually unplugging How family rhythms help protect what matters most What our children taught us during vacation Why delegation is an act of trust The surprising lessons we learned after getting lost on the beach Why vacation should never become a vacation from God Whether you're a pastor, caregiver, parent, volunteer, entrepreneur, or simply someone carrying heavy responsibilities, this conversation is an invitation to breathe. Because rest isn't weakness. Rest isn't selfish. Rest is worship.
