Have you ever felt the weight of trying to achieve too much while struggling to find balance in your life and ministry? In our eye-opening conversation with Tim Gaines, we delve into his personal journey of discovering the need for rest and finding balance during his first sabbatical. As someone who thrives on achievements and being deeply involved in his community, Tim faced challenges when it came to taking his first sabbatical. Listen in as he shares his story and insights on the importance of self-care and prioritizing rest in our lives and ministries.

Throughout our chat, we explore the value of turning a sabbatical into a spiritual discipline and how it can ultimately become a form of self-care. Tim also touches on the deep sadness of wasted potential in the church and the need for a shift in how we view rest and balance. As we discuss sustainability in ministry and life, we hope our conversation with Tim will inspire and encourage you to recognize when you're getting out of balance and take intentional steps towards prioritizing self-care and rest.

As a champion of sustainability in ministry and life, I'm committed to helping ministry leaders create and cultivate sustainability in their lives so they can go the distance with God. Join us in this powerful and transformative conversation with Tim Gaines, and together let's explore the importance of living into our strengths, being faithful with what we have been given, and honoring the need for rest and balance in our lives and ministries.
