OUR STORY
On April 27, 2011, our lives were forever changed.
We huddled in the closet of our parsonage with our three teenage children and our youth pastor as a powerful tornado tore through our town. What felt like hours passed in just minutes as wind, debris, and rain battered the brick parsonage like it was nothing more than a shack. When the storm finally passed and we stepped outside, our home was destroyed—but every one of us was alive and unharmed.
That alone was a miracle.
What followed became another: the rebuilding. Our church, community, gym, and parsonage were restored through the overwhelming support of people who loved us well. We were never without help. Even though ministry has since carried us to new places, that town, those people, and that church will always feel like home.
But in the midst of rebuilding what was visible, God began doing a deeper work within us.
We learned about balance. About rest. About healing. About family.
How It Started
In ministry, it is easy to keep serving—to push forward, stay available, and meet every need—until the lines between ministry, marriage, family, personal health, and rest become blurred.
We learned the hard way what happens when those boundaries are ignored.
The cost showed up physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Out of that season of healing, a vision quietly began to take shape in our hearts—not as a place at first, but as a practice.
We began teaching our own pastors and leaders how to think differently about rest. We started with something practical: calendars. Helping leaders distinguish between ministry travel and true sabbatical rest. Teaching married ministry couples how to intentionally schedule time away together—not to work, not to serve—but to enjoy life, one another, and the presence of God without guilt.
