Hi, my name is Pete Scuzeiro. I want to welcome you today to the emotionally healthy

leader podcast. Great to be with you. And our theme today is practice Sabbath delight part two.

Practice Sabbath delight part two. And the reason there's two parts is because this issue of Sabbath is so critical.

And actually, I might go as far as to say, it's almost like a life and death issue for you and your ministry and your leadership.

And you'll need to talk about this with some other people.

And so again, I want to invite you to download our EH leader discussion guide.

It's free from our website at Emotionallyhealthy.org, eH leader guide.

That's Emotionallyhealthy.org slash EH leader guide.

And this issue of Sabbath is so subversive. It's so powerful. It's so large.

It's one of the great gifts of bringing emotionally healthy discipleship to your church and your

leadership. So I took two weeks on this because there's so much to share. And last week I gave you a sermon called Sabbath,

God's Foundation for our work. It came out of a series on work and how Sabbath fits into that.

So listen to it if you haven't, because I'm not going to repeat that. But this week I want to

talk to you about in particular the nuances and related applications

of Sabbath.

And I want to especially answer a number of FAQs that go along with it.

So let me just begin by defining Sabbath again.

It's a 24-hour time frame without any anxiety or have-toes.

And it revolves around two key texts, Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5.

And it's meant to be a day, a 24-hour period that's different than the other six days.

It has a container to it.

Now, I like the word container.
