what is restore the joy?
Our Mission
The mission of Restore the Joy is to assist pastors and ministry leaders in their journey of emotional and spiritual maturity.
The word “vocation” shares its root with the word “voice,” in which we often refer to the work of ministry as a “calling.” Yet all too often, the busy lives of pastors drowned out the still, small voice of God’s Spirit and the joyful vitality that comes from that first love.
Restore the Joy is about rekindling the joy of ministry by living out Sabbath principles, maintaining better emotional and relational boundaries, increasing self-awareness and self-care, as well as rediscovering what it’s like to truly be present to God and others.
A Journey Worth Taking
Based upon Biblical principles and modern-day systems thinking, Restore the Joy is like gaining the clarity and purpose of punching in an address into your iPhone while you’re halfway along in your journey.
The roads and obstacles of life seem familiar, but with a renewed focus in direction and skills to navigate the toughest of roads, the joy of the journey returns on your way to a better-defined destination.
