What would your life be like if you took off work 4 weeks every year?
Imagine the memories your family could make, the positive changes it would have in your spouse and kids, and the peace you might feel deep in your soul.
When you make regular time off work a priority, you often avoid burnout.
The reality is pastors like you don’t take enough time off work. It’s causing real problems in your personal life.
One of the main excuses I hear is: my church schedule is full and there is no space in the calendar for me to take time off.
Being away throughout the year is both necessary and possible. If taking regular time off is not a habit for you, it should be.
Let’s talk about how you can make this a reality.

I used to live my life with constant stress and fatigue.

Do you feel this way?

I would go to work, come home, cook dinner, put everyone to bed, stay up to work some more, go to bed late, never getting everything done. Then, I would get up and repeat the process. I would do this day after day, week after week, year after year.

I never stopped to think about if there was another way, a better way, or what this was doing to myself or my family.

If only I had taken the time to see where this path would take me. I could have saved myself and my family lots of loneliness, heartache, and healing.

You want your marriage to live up to expectations, and don’t think you are at risk for divorce because you are a pastor.

But connecting with your spouse like a great marriage requires takes time that you just don’t seem to have.

They understand and try not to complain too much. You don’t think it’s that bad, but you don’t really know.

You know you need to do something different, but you may not know where to start.

Don’t all pastors’ marriages go through this?
