The Sabbatical Guide (w/ Bill & Kristi Gaultiere) – Episode 182

Bill and Kristi Gaultiere know from first-hand experience how ministry can take a toll on your life. They both realized this while serving the local church in a season of intense activity. However, they soon discovered something on the inside was wrong. The joy and fulfillment of ministry had diminished amid the fast-paced life of leading in today’s culture.

On this edition of the 95Podcast, you will hear the heart of their ministry to leaders through Soul Shepherding and the Sabbatical Guide. They want you to find a weekly rhythm to your life and ministry that brings comfort and peace each day.

Key Takeaways

1) Sabbath is more than just taking off a day each week from your job to catch up on the other things in your life that are lagging.

2) A healthy soul is developed through a rhythm of surrender and reflection. We were not created to live our lives at a wide-open, frantic pace continually.

3) The pressure placed on pastors’ spouses can be overwhelming. The greatest intensity of this pressure is often more “internal” than “external.”

4) When it comes to the sabbath, you must start somewhere, even if your ministry situation doesn’t allow you to take an extended sabbatical. It can be life-changing to simply begin a weekly priority of entering into a dedicated time for soul care and soul restoration.
