What are we having a break from?

• Relentlessness: the constant sense of responsibility to produce, respond, lead, and sustain momentum.

• Output-driven identity: being valued (by others or ourselves) for what we build, teach, or steward rather than who we are becoming.

• Chronic urgency: ministry clocks, business cycles, expectations—spoken and unspoken—that never fully power down.

• Decision fatigue: years of carrying weighty choices without sufficient recovery space.

This is not a rejection of business or community work.

It is a temporary laying down of authority, optimisation, and outcomes.

This season is:

• Time for some FUN!!!

• To let God work without needing to explain Himself later.

• To enjoy conversations that go nowhere productive—and therefore everywhere meaningful.

• To rediscover delight without a mission statement attached.

• To remember that faith matures as much through rest as through obedience.

This is closer to wilderness than assignment. And wilderness is not punishment—it is preparation, reordering, and tenderness.

We are not abandoning our calling. We are allowing it to breathe.

The fruit of this season will likely be invisible at first. That is how we’ll know it’s doing its job.
