Rest: in Scripture, rest is actually the first thing God has Adam do, so that when humans receive the mandate to be fruitful in the garden, they work from well-restedness, starting even that first week refreshed from enjoying God’s companionship—instead of doing what we often do, pushing ourselves hard til we crash into the weekend!
The Navigators strongly encourage staff to take a 3-6 month sabbatical every 7-10 years. This intentional time away from daily ministry responsibilities allows for rest, reflection, spiritual growth, and renewed connection with God. The goal is simple: to return refreshed, strengthened, and rooted in the assurance of God's love and calling.
The Sabbatical Orientation Workshop (SOW) provides practical guidance and intentional space to prepare for your sabbatical. Through personal reflection, coaching, and conversations with fellow Navigators, you'll gain foundational tools and insights to support your ongoing spiritual formation.
Registration deadline is Tuesday, June 26, 2026.
