3 Reasons Why You Should Take a Break

“We were on a break” has to be one of the most popular lines in TV history. And while this phrase was used as an excuse for Ross to do something he shouldn’t have done, taking a break from things in ministry or your personal life doesn’t have to be all bad. However, what you do during that break can be essential for you growing as a person and as a minister.

Cory was my very first guest on the podcast and now, as we are on Episode 260, he will be my last as I take a break from the YM Sidekick Podcast.
