Welcome to Our Sabbatical Journey.
From mid-April until mid-June, we will be stepping away from the normal rhythms of pastoral ministry to travel across the Atlantic, continue through several cruises, and conclude in Paris. This season is an opportunity to slow down, listen more carefully to the Lord, and reflect on His direction for the next chapter of life and ministry.
Along the way, we will be sharing short video reflections, moments from the journey, and lessons God is teaching us during this time of rest and renewal.
We are grateful you’re following along.

What You’ll Find Here
On this site we’ll be sharing:
• brief reflections from the journey
• short video updates from sea and cities
• spiritual insights from Scripture and silence
• leadership lessons shaped by distance and perspective
Our hope is that these reflections encourage you to slow down and listen for God’s voice in your own season as well.
Guiding Scripture
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10

Barcelona Reflections — Between the Rush and the Rest
This morning, we arrived in Barcelona after crossing the Atlantic aboard the Brilliance of the Seas. There is something surreal about seeing the skyline of a city appear after days surrounded only by water. The Mediterranean sun, the movement of the harbor, and the energy of the city felt completely different from the slower rhythm
