Sometimes The Best Way Forward Is To Take A Step Back

power of new environments.

Learning to pause and learning when to switch off. For us as pastors, we tend to equate being effective as doing things when your body and your spirit is telling you that you need to pause and to stop. It’s one of my main takeaways from this Getaway.”

Don’t hesitate to jump into the Getaway. Just bite the bullet and do it. I get it. Feels a big thing, but iI can already see the fruit just in a couple of days of being in the Getaway. It’s been such a game changer just for the way I think and even if half of that rolls over into what I do it’s going to be great.

It quite simply gives you what you need, when you need it. On repeat.

You’ll be surprised at how far your purposeful steps will take you!
“God calls us to abide, not to do more. My biggest takeaway from the Getaway is setting myself up for longevity in ministry and putting in place things now that, although important in a smaller church, will be essential as we grow so I’m not burnt out later on.”
