Ep. 96: Why Ministry Creatives Need Retreats with Angie Baughman

#writersbloc #podcast Why do ministry creatives — writers, teachers, and leaders — need intentional retreat time? In this conversation, Cara welcomes Bible teacher, pastor, author, and podcaster Angie Baughman back to The Writers’ Bloc to talk about the spiritual and practical value of creative retreats. Together they explore how getting away — even briefly — can bring clarity, peace, deeper listening to God, and more sustainable creative output. Angie shares from decades of ministry experience how structured retreat rhythms helped her plan, discern, and avoid burnout — and how writers and ministry leaders today can build simple, realistic retreat practices into busy lives. They discuss resistance, guilt, budget options, spiritual formation, rest vs. recovery, and practical retreat planning from food prep to scheduling. If you’re a writer, ministry creative, or Bible teacher feeling stretched thin, this episode will help you reframe retreat as obedience and investment — not indulgence. Guest: Angie Baughman — licensed pastor, Bible teacher, author, podcaster, and founder of Steady On Ministries. Creator of the Step-by-Step Bible Study Method and Study On University. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction & Welcome 00:42 Meet Angie Baughman 03:29 Why Creatives Need Retreats 06:16 How Retreats Change the Way You Work 08:42 Why People Resist Rest 11:53 Scripture That Shaped Her Retreat Practice 13:57 The Fear of Silence 16:55 Recovery Rest vs Formation Rest 18:48 How to Start a Creative Retreat 21:07 Creating the Right Environment for Rest 22:27 Audience Experiences With Retreats 26:57 The Power of Being Alone 27:09 Do You Really Need to Unplug? 29:10 Protecting Rest Without Guilt 29:46 What’s Coming in the Next Session 30:35 Group Q&A 30:43 Planning Meals During Retreats 32:05 Final Takeaways & Encouragement
