Go, Pastor. Go! by Authors D.D. Shiell

Affordable clergy sabbaticals

Go, Pastor. Go!

How clergy can take an affordable sabbatical that rejuvenates their soul, reunites their family, and reignites their congregation by using a home exchange.

Are you a pastor who longs for a sabbatical but can’t imagine how to make it possible?

Most pastors know they should take extended time for rest, renewal, and spiritual recovery. Yet very few ever do. The barriers feel overwhelming—finances, housing, responsibilities, and the fear of burdening the congregation.

But what if an affordable, practical, and life-giving sabbatical were actually within reach?

Go, Pastor, Go! brings together two powerful ideas: the clergy sabbatical and the home exchange. This simple combination opens the door to rest, renewal, and revitalization for both pastor and church.

In this book, you’ll discover:

• Why sabbaticals are essential for long-term pastoral health
• How a home exchange dramatically reduces the cost of extended time away
• Ways your congregation benefits when their pastor returns renewed
• Practical steps for planning a sabbatical that is affordable, realistic, and spiritually restorative
• Stories and insights to help pastors overcome the fears and barriers that hold them back

Whether you are a pastor seeking rest or a church leader wanting to bless your shepherd, this book provides a hopeful and attainable path forward.

A healthier pastor leads to a healthier church. Your sabbatical might be more possible than you think.
