3 Quick Break Strategies

Recently we talked about the best times during the year to take a break. Here are three more ideas for planning your time away.

1. Don't announce to your church members that you are going to be gone. Too many people like to use that as an excuse for skipping the weekend service. Keep the element of surprise in the speaking schedule so that they will show up and be blessed by your other speakers.
2. If you are in town during your time off, consider introducing the speaker. This will show your buy-in and remind your church that you enjoy learning from other speakers too.
3. If you will be out of town, think about recording a video introduction for the speaker. Ed does this frequently and it's a great way to maintain his presence in the church while he is on a break. Sometimes he adds a teaser for an upcoming series.
