Quotes from Josh:
Let your sabbatical be self-driven.
A sabbatical is a temporary investment in the future.
As the size of your church changes, your leadership style needs to change.
When your life is about giving to other people, you can get empty.
There is an extra spiritual pressure that comes from leading a church.
