In this episode, Derek Vreeland shares his personal experience of taking a two-week break from church work for the first time in 25 years. He reflects on the importance of silence and solitude as spiritual disciplines, the lessons he learned about his limitations, the necessity of rest, and the realization that he is not defined by his productivity. Through this journey, he emphasizes the value of self-awareness and the need to disconnect from the constant demands of work and technology.
