Let's Grow | the blog

I want to challenge YOU to dive into the Word for yourself, not just to prep for a lesson or to speak at a conference. Let me up the challenge: Develop Your Own Daily Workout.

Perhaps the exhaustion and burnout we often experience in spiritual leadership come from doing good things, great things even, that God never asked us to do.

You can tick all the boxes of preparation provided by all the experts and researchers. But until you walk that aisle, step out in faith, or deliver the baby, you have to put on a little "fake it till you make it" while you learn the ropes.

Throughout 2026, the Sanctuary lead team will be publishing a four-entry blog series on The Marriage-Ministry Balance: Four Seasons Every Ministry Wife Walks Through.

We continue to hear feedback from each of our guests, from the host team members, from our featured guest speaker Martha Tennison—God met us at Gathering Oaks Retreat in such a supernatural way that words don’t seem adequate to describe it.

In January 2026, Sanctuary founder Bridgette Tomlin will launch and host a six-week virtual book club featuring Holley Gerth's book, The Powerful Purpose of Introverts.
