Pastor Josh, here is what moved.

You said things are a little better, and your numbers agree.

The change since July 26, 2026 is in sleep, Sabbath and rest as well as the load you carry. Everything else is within the range of an ordinary week.

You said: A little better · since July 26, 2026, 90 days

A note of care

Money pressure and being expected to be available around the clock are weighing on you right now. That is a real load, and many pastors carry it quietly. You do not have to sort it out alone. If it would help to talk with someone, you can call or text 988 any time, day or night. It is free, and it is for hard seasons as well as emergencies. Only you see this.

Your two numbers, then and now

Flourishing

53then59now

a little stronger

Positive resources and wellbeing

Strain

64then58now

a little lighter

What you are carrying. Less is better here.

Both numbers here are scored on the check-in's twenty-seven questions, at both times, so they compare like with like. Your full report's numbers came from all eighty and read a little differently.

Your eight areas, then and now

The load you carry
a little lighter
Your church’s support
held steady
Work that fits your gifts
held steady
Your joy, energy and hope
held steady
The people who hold you up
held steady
Sleep, Sabbath and rest
clearly stronger
Your walk with God
held steady
How you bounce back
held steady

Grey is then, colour is now. Each area is out of 100. A move of under 15 points is within an ordinary week, so it reads as held steady.

Your three moves

What you said, beside what you checked off.

01Kept · checked off on 41 days
Take 15 minutes every day to fully detach your mind from ministry: a walk, a hobby, anything that absorbs your attention.
02Partly kept · never checked off
Tell one person this week which day is your Sabbath, and ask them to check that you took it.
03Not kept · never checked off
Cancel or hand off one standing evening commitment this month, and give that evening back to family or rest.

In your words
The fifteen minutes stuck once I tied it to the school run. Sabbath is still the hard one.

A short letter

Pastor Josh, you said things are a little better, and your numbers agree. The change since July 26, 2026 is in sleep, Sabbath and rest as well as the load you carry. Everything else is within the range of an ordinary week.

You kept one of your moves, and part of another. That is the work: not a perfect record, but a rhythm that survived ninety ordinary weeks of ministry. What you did not keep says something about the season, not about you.

The next ninety days start where you are, not where you hoped to be. Keep what worked, let go of what did not, and begin with one thing: Take 15 minutes every day to fully detach your mind from ministry: a walk, a hobby, anything that absorbs your attention.

Written for you from your answers by Tend360, not by a person.

Your next ninety days

Three small moves for the next season. A rhythm you kept carries over.

01
Take 15 minutes every day to fully detach your mind from ministry: a walk, a hobby, anything that absorbs your attention.
02
Tell your elders which day is your Sabbath and ask one of them to guard it.
03
Hand off one recurring meeting this month and do not take it back.
