The Theology of Delight
What if vacation could be a spiritual practice?
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28
We preach it. We believe it. Then we take two days off and spend them catching up on email.
Rest isn't a reward you earn when the work is finished. The work is never finished. Rest is a practice — something you choose, protect, and sometimes book a flight to get to.
Scripture is full of feasting, playing, and noticing beauty. Jesus attends weddings, lingers at tables, and tells stories about fathers who throw parties for prodigal children coming home.
Rest and delight are not luxuries. They are acts of faithfulness — to God, to the people you love, and to the long work of ministry you've been called to sustain.
What I Do
Thoughtful. Grounded.
Actually fun.

About Brent
A pastor who retreats to Disney.
Gold Travel Advisor with Famvia Travel
Hi, I'm Brent.
I've been a United Methodist pastor for over a decade. In that time, I've planted a church, led through a pandemic, and have empowered my congregation to make an impact in the community and the world. I'm also a trained spiritual director, creating space for people doing the slow, hard work of paying attention to their own lives. All this to say: I know you hold a lot.
I'm also a Disney Adult.
Somewhere between my years as a Cast Member at the Haunted Mansion and my most recent trip with my family, I began to understand that Disney does something to me that very few places do. It slows me down. It makes me present. It returns me to myself and to the ones I love in a way that feels sacred.
And I want the same thing for you. That's why I became a certified travel advisor. Because I know what it's like to plan a vacation when you're already running on empty. Let me help you get there.
“Beauty and grace are performed whether or not we see them. The least we can do is try to be there.”
— Annie Dillard
My services cost you $0 · Disney pays a small commission, your price doesn't change
The Practice
Every trip is shaped by three intentions.
Slow Down
Carve out space from the hurry that drives your days and settle into a different, more faithful rhythm.
Show Up
Pay attention to the people beside you and awake to the holy in the ordinary.
Practice Delight
Open yourself to wonder without making it useful, and let the joy of it be something you carry home.
The part nobody tells you
My services cost you $0.
Disney and our cruise partners pay advisors a small commission out of their own pocket. It never changes your price. You get a real human in your corner — for free.

Kind Words
What ministry leaders are saying.
“We've taken three Disney trips. This was the first one where I didn't feel like I was managing the whole thing alone. Brent got what we needed before we even said it.”
Lead Pastor
United Methodist Church
“I cried on the ferry to the Magic Kingdom and I'm not embarrassed about it. This trip gave me back something I didn't know I'd lost.”
Children's Ministry Director
Local congregation
“We almost didn't go because of the cost. Brent helped us find a way to make it work — and then helped us understand why it was worth it.”
Associate Pastor
Mainline Protestant church
