Pastor Tyler will be going on sabbatical from May 1st through August 6th. The purpose of this sabbatical is for Tyler to experience personal renewal by receiving a period of leave from church responsibilities. The goal is for Tyler to have expanded opportunities to strengthen his faith with the Lord and return with an even more vibrant relationship Him. He’ll focus his time on personal introspection, contemplation, and rest; biblical and spiritual growth; and professional development as a shepherd and leader of our church.
Activities
To fulfill these goals, Tyler will be taking part in several activities including the following:
extended daily prayer and reflection
meeting regularly with a sabbatical coach/spiritual director
reading several books on personal/spiritual growth and church leadership
going on several retreats to rest, reflect, and seek the Lord in a place of solitude
taking extra time to connect with family
traveling with his wife, Stacey, to Israel (see below)
In addition, Tyler and his family will not attend Foothills Church or other Foothills events during the sabbatical. Nor will he check or respond to his Foothills email, be on social media, or be coaching kids’ sports as he normally does.
