How long is each webinar?

Each webinar is 60 minutes total, including 45 minutes of teaching and 15 minutes for live Q&A. We respect your time—we start on time and end on time.

Will I get a recording if I can't attend live?

No, we don't record our webinars. We've found that when webinars are recorded, attendees are less engaged, less willing to ask vulnerable questions, and the conversation becomes one-way instead of interactive. Our goal is real, meaningful engagement—not passive content consumption. If you can't make this month's session, join us for next month's topic.

Is this specific to pastors, or can nonprofit leaders attend?

Our webinars serve both pastors and nonprofit leaders. We address sabbatical from multiple angles—personal renewal, organizational culture, team preparation, and leadership sustainability. The principles apply whether you lead a church, nonprofit, or mission organization.

What happens after I register?

You'll immediately receive a confirmation email with a calendar invite (compatible with Google, Outlook, Apple, and other calendars). We'll also send reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the webinar with the Zoom link and any preparation suggestions.

Is there a cost to attend?

No, our monthly webinars are completely free. They're part of our mission to equip leaders to navigate sabbatical with confidence and wisdom.

Can I ask questions during the webinar?

Absolutely! We reserve the final 15 minutes for live Q&A, and you're welcome to submit questions via chat throughout the session. Our webinars are conversational, not one-way presentations.

Who leads the webinars?

Our webinars are led by our team of experienced sabbatical coaches. Each brings years of personal sabbatical experience and has guided dozens of leaders through this journey.
