from The 95 Podcast: Conversations for Small-Church Pastors · host 95Network

Dale Sellers and Joseph Bennett talk with former lead pastor Michael Hidalgo about why pastoral rest is a crisis-level need, how real sabbaticals differ from a leave of absence, and how his ministry Menuah helps small churches create practical, sustainable sabbatical plans—including pulpit supply, congregational care, and re-entry.  Michael has over 25 years experience in local church ministry as a teaching pastor and lead pastor. He is a speaker, author, and coaches pastors. His passion has always been to support spiritual and emotional health for faith leaders. When he's not working he loves skiing, cycling, and spending time in the mountains of Colorado. Michael, his wife and children live in Denver, Colorado.Show Notes: https://95network.org/95podcast-337-summary-pastoral-sabbaticals-made-doable-rest-renewal-and-a-plan-for-small-church-pastors-with-michael-hidalgo/Support the show
