Sabbatical Leadership

In this episode, Bob is joined by Scott, Jim Doggett, and Jonathan King to talk about sabbatical leadership — not simply how to take a sabbatical, but how leaders, supervisors, coaches, and organizations can help others step away well, experience deep renewal, and return healthier.Together, they explore why sabbaticals are more than extended vacations or emergency responses to burnout. A well-led sabbatical can become a deeply transformative season of replenishment, healing, clarity, and renewed dependence on Jesus.The conversation covers how organizational leaders can normalize sabbaticals, how supervisors can prepare teams before someone steps away, how to avoid making people feel guilty for resting, and why sabbaticals can strengthen both the individual leader and the whole team.Whether you lead a ministry, oversee team leaders, coach missionaries, or care for staff, this episode will help you think more intentionally about creating a culture where rest, renewal, and transformation are part of healthy leadership.Resources: https://missionexus.org/improve/ministry-sabbatical-tools/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
