Sabbatical, Burnout & the Future of Discipleship // Robby Angle

Robby shares a personal and ministry update as Trueface enters a major new season. We talk through family life with eight kids, preparing for his first sabbatical, the emotional and mental exhaustion that comes from leading through growth, and the deeper vision behind GROW — a new discipleship initiative designed to help churches create authentic transformation and relational discipleship at scale.We also unpack the tension many churches feel around discipleship today: why “know more, do better” keeps people stuck, how grace reshapes spiritual growth, and why authentic community may become one of the church’s greatest opportunities in the years ahead. Along the way, Robby shares stories about the Trueface team, future projects, the upcoming Path album, and why this season feels both overwhelming and deeply hopeful.What We LearnedDiscipleship is the process of growing in love of God and others.Most churches struggle to define effective discipleship and develop enough healthy leaders.“Know more, do better” creates striving, while “trust and receive” produces transformation.Authentic community is becoming increasingly rare — and increasingly necessary.Leadership culture shapes spiritual growth more than systems or programming.Robby believes the church has a unique opportunity to meet the next generation’s longing for real connection.Sabbatical is not just physical rest — mental and spiritual rest matter too.Transformation happens when we replace lies with truth in the context of relationships.Resources MentionedTrueface Journey The Path RightNow Media | Streaming Video Library of Bible Studies Christian Family Camps in Texas & South Carolina | Pine Cove Refuge Foundation — Pure Charity Grow Disciples Conference The War of Worldviews by Jamie WinshipMy First Thirty Quiet Times by Ty SaltzgiverLive Loved by Ty SaltzgiverProduced by Sound of a Rose — https://soundofarose.comSupport the show
