The R3 Project exist to walk beside those coming out of a ministry assignment The R3 Project
linktr.ee/theR3project

We exist, as a community of Christ-followers, to help those in vocational ministry transition to spiritual and emotional health through discipleship based rest, renewal and re-engagement. Our goal is to aid leaders in vocational Christian ministry who are spiritually and emotionally weary after a recent ministry assignment. Initially, our plan is to provide 3 months of financial assistance if needed along with recommendations for counseling and a discipleship process to help facilitate healing.

Take a breath!
As many end the school season, and turn towards the summer season, we tend to run hard from one season right into the next. Bowing to the demands of expectations, not wanting to miss out, or overcommitting by filling up the calendar.
The discipline of rest is something our culture has failed to disciple well because it is "boring" or "I don't know what to 'do'". Yet it is a gift and even a command to rest.
Receive a moment of rest.
Plan it even.
You have run hard.
Don't feel bad about taking a rest in whatever capacity rest finds you.
And let Jesus do a work in the rest.

As The R3 Project has taken small steps forward we have had the blessing of learning from some incredible organizations ahead of us and around us. Today we got to hear some great insight from a panel of leaders about Mental Health in the Church from collaborative organizations here in San Antonio. It is a desire of R3 to grow a trauma informed lens and provide appropriate spaces for pastors and ministry leaders in the middle of being pushed out or burned out.

Thank you Program for Future Church and Congregational Collective for making space for these vital conversations.

And for me () it was a gift to see and continue to learn from my friend

Breath in...Breath out...
Forgiveness is not a superficial glossing over reality. There is much work to be done in understanding a deeper forgiveness. And it may require a different future than the one you imagined. Today, simply breathe and rest in the fact that you have been forgiven far deeper than you could ever imagine. Begin trusting that the work of forgiveness can spring out something greater than a shallow forgiveness could produce.

While this season is full of Joy and Hope with the announcement of God with us, there are also those that will struggle. Struggling through past experience, hope lost, or dreams diminished. The struggle can be met with hopelessness or it can lead to lament. While acknowledging where you have been can be hard it can lead to a new season of reorientation. Lament is the starting point for reorientation and hope is birthed in places of lament...

During an active season we can turn on auto-pilot and try to survive or worse yet, continue to hit the gas pedal. In this recommended book, Sean Nemecek, does a great job of laying out warning signs of burnout and how not to land in that space in the first place.

One of the long term visions of The R3 Project is to partner with churches and organizations to keep their leaders from even needing R3 to begin with. How can we get upstream before burnout and burned relationships end up where R3 sees so many? Take a read through "The Weary Leader's Guide to Burnout" and share it with someone whom you think might need it.

Today is Pastor Appreciation Day. We know, we know...they're just people. But that's the point. They are people who need to know they are not alone and they are walking in a community of people that love them and appreciate them.
Here are a few ideas of how you can encourage someone on your church staff today:
~Take a moment and send a text sharing a moment they impacted you
~Write a card and drop it in their hand after the service
~Prepare a quick word of encouragement in your mind to share when you see them about how they have helped you see Jesus
~Drop off a gift card
~Door Dash their dinner
~Send flowers or a cookie to their spouse from them and let them know its coming so they don't look crazy

Whatever it is today, let them know you care about them. They pour out their life and so much is wrapped up in that. Find a way to love on a pastor today!

The R3 Project has a heart to walk beside those that make the hard decision to step out of a ministry assignment that is part community and part vocation. It can leave the family isolated and uncertain. R3 steps into that space as we walk with and help give grounding so a pastor can make the right next decision.
We are thankful for all those that helped launch R3 forward and continue to support. •For more info click the link in the bio.

This summer R3 participants and leadership have enjoyed studying together. We’ve had such rich discussions about considering new rhythms.

We highly recommend adding this book to your own summer reading list.
