Equipping ministry leaders to thrive in major life transitions and sabbatical.

We offer creative and holistic resources to support you in your development as a global leader.

We define “leadership” as grasping a sense of one’s gifting and purpose, and acting with clarity and intentionality to work out that calling, regardless of formal leadership titles or positions.

Sabbatical

We offer three tiers of support for those engaging in a life-giving sabbatical season! Choose our self-guided eCourse with encouraging Cohort calls or add on individual coaching support. Don’t go it alone!

Transition & Vocation

In the way between here and where you want to be exists a transition space in your life—an opportunity to stop, reflect, consider your creative contribution to the world, before walking through the next door.  

Pilgrimages

Take your stuck places on a walk—a long wandering walk. Show them the transformative wonder of creation. And notice how they shift! Trips available on the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • That’s very common. Many people come to us feeling uncertain or overwhelmed by a transition season, burnout, vocational questions, or often an overlap of these dynamics. You are not alone!

    You can start by filling out our interest form. This will help us better understand your situation and needs. 

    We offer a variety of coaching options, supportive resources, community cohort experiences, eCourses, reflection tools, sabbatical and vocational discernment processes, and pilgrimage experiences. Upon reviewing your responses and potentially setting up an initial free consultation, we can recommend the best fit for your support and development. As needed, we can also refer you to an outside resource or alternative soul-care partners and providers. We operate within a broad ecosystem of global leaders and valuable resources.

  • That’s often exactly where people begin… and honestly, the best place to begin! Many participants come to The Way Between feeling uncertain, stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to see a clear path forward. Our work is designed to create space for reflection, grounded processing, trusted communal discernment, and sustainable next steps, rather than forcing quick answers or premature decisions.


    Transition seasons, though they can be difficult and overwhelming, are some of the most powerful seasons of development and clarity in our lives, if we can hold on to what is authentic and true and have helpful support resources alongside us on the journey.

  • Many leaders begin to consider a sabbatical when they experience prolonged exhaustion, burnout, loss of clarity, emotional fatigue, a major transition, or a growing sense that something needs to shift. Others pursue the biblical imperative and gift of sabbatical proactively for periodic renewal, reflection, and long-term sustainability.

    Our Interest Form and initial conversations can help you discern whether and when sabbatical support may be appropriate for your season.

  • Yes. We regularly work with pastors, missionaries, and nonprofit leaders, both in the US and around the globe.

    We consult and serve faith-based organizations, and faith-based nonprofit leaders (whether they work for specifically faith-based orgs or not).

    We’ve partnered with more than 130 organizations and denominations globally to date, serving over 900 leaders. We serve an ecumenical clientele across the protestant, evangelical, and post-evangelical perspectives.

    We define “leadership” as grasping a sense of one’s call and purpose, and acting intentionally to work out that calling, regardless of formal leadership titles or positions. We have also worked with leaders outside of ministry settings who resonate with our approach and values.

  • No. The Way Between primarily offers credentialed coaching, facilitation, pastoral support and counsel, and formation-based guidance for leaders navigating transition, debrief, discernment, sabbatical, renewal, and vocation. We also offer support through books, blogs, and eCourse content.

    Some members of our team are licensed counselors, but our services do not include licensed clinical therapy or formal spiritual direction. We take a leadership development approach, and are ultimately in support of a leader’s journey forward into clarity, right fit, authenticity, and healthy, balanced vocational expression.

  • Vocational discernment coaching creates space to reflect on calling, transition, identity, leadership, and next steps in a grounded and holistic way. Sessions are reflective and facilitative rather than directive. We utilize practices such as guided reflection, whole-brain processing, conversation, creativity, movement, and contemplative practices to help participants spend time in spaces with God and key community voices in her/his life to move toward greater clarity and alignment.

  • Pilgrimage experiences are designed to help leaders literally step out of their normal environments to walk out reflection, processing, and reconnection with God, themselves, and their vocation. Experiences may include guided reflection, silence, movement, conversation, contemplative practices, literary mentors from Church history, and shared experiences with others navigating transition and discernment. Details vary depending on the specific pilgrimage offering.

  • Yes. Most coaching, cohorts, and eCourse experiences are accessible remotely through Zoom and online platforms. Coaching and cohort calls are held live online, and many resources are accessible from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Coaches and facilitators may occasionally be available for in-person support, depending on your location or travel plans. Pilgrimage cohorts meet online during the preparation phase, and in-person on location to trek the pilgrimage journey.

  • Yes. The Way Between is an unapologetically faith-based nonprofit rooted in Christian spirituality and contemplative practices. You will regularly be encouraged to engage in spaces made for listening to (all of the Triune) God, your own heart, and your trusted community voices. At the same time, we work with people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Our main concern is to support you in your leadership journey of wholeness, health, joy, and vocational clarity; not to discuss more tertiary issues of theology. We serve an ecumenical clientele across the protestant, evangelical, and post-evangelical perspectives. We define “leadership” as grasping a sense of one’s gifting and purpose, and acting with clarity and intentionality to work out that calling, regardless of formal leadership titles or positions.

  • Yes. We regularly partner with churches, nonprofits, mission organizations, and leadership teams through consultation, organizational agreements, coaching arrangements, cohort participation, and sabbatical support.
