Today some of our favorite people join us on the Season 1 Finale of the Podcast. Jake and Micah Stemo are our friends we used to host Kingdom Families Sabbatical Retreats with.

In this episode we discuss the importance of sabbatical ministry, ministry burnout, being bi-vocational and the definition of true worship.

The Stemos run Presence Worship in Kansas with their 4 children, as they train up the next generation of Worship Leaders.

We are Sam and Nicole. We are homeschooling and raising our 5 children on the Forgotten Coast and we also own and run our own coffee shop on an Island, called Island Espresso! Our vision is not just coffee, but to pour into other ministry families, through one day building a sabbatical retreat center and offering free stays to ministry families.
