Summary
Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. This episode, we answer: how do women with a full life practice sabbath? Jess sits down with GATG team member, Caroline, to answer this question. While this conversation is just the tip of the iceberg, Jess and Caroline share the whys and why-nots of practicing sabbath, and provide some beginner how-tos on obeying sabbath in our everyday lives.
We’re talking heart postures, celebrating the abundance of God and the sweetness of sabbath. While it will look different for each woman practicing, we are excited to be on this journey of intentionally practicing sabbath together.
If you’ve wondered about best ways to honor sabbath, you are not alone, and we’re ready to move His kingdom forward together through rest.
He is mighty in you. We’ll see you next week!
Don’t miss:
Buy or get the audiobook for The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, practical advice on how to unplug and step away from the culture of hurry we’re engulfed in.
A chance to read a couple books by Ruth Haley Barton that center on rest - Sacred Rhythms, Invitation to Retreat and Solitude of Silence.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Jess Connolly, and you are listening to the Go and Tell Gals podcast. |
| 0:14.8 | We exist to equip and encourage kingdom women who are using their God-given gifts for the good of others and the glory of God. |
| 0:23.0 | If you are a mom, a student, an artist, a doctor, we are hoping that this episode will leave you |
| 0:30.0 | encouraged and ready to run. We're so glad you're here. Let's go. |
| 0:38.9 | Okay, friends, we're talking about it. We're coming for it. We're going for it. |
| 0:44.5 | This is Jess Connolly. I'm so glad you're here. I've got my dear friend Caroline with me today. |
| 0:48.7 | Hi, gals. I'm so excited to jump into this. And I will say if we had to take a list of the top five to 10 questions |
| 0:58.2 | that I get online, that we get. Yeah. This is definitely, I would think, in the top three, |
| 1:05.6 | how do women with a full life practice Sabbath? So we're going to dive in today, but I want to say |
| 1:12.5 | this first. This is a very long conversation. And today will not be a very long conversation. |
| 1:20.9 | But the reason why I think it's complex and it needs time is because there's a million different |
| 1:25.8 | layers. And we're going to just start to jump into it today. But I am really hesitant and I'm really reticent to engage with or to |
| 1:35.2 | create content that makes Sabbath seem easy or that makes it seem like a checklist. Now, |
| 1:41.6 | that being said, I don't think it's one of those things |
| 1:44.3 | that's like beyond our capacity. I think it's a gift God's given us. So I'm not saying like, |
| 1:48.7 | oh, let's just talk about how hard it is all the time. But I'm saying like, let's don't make it |
| 1:52.9 | sound simpler than it is. Right. Because it's not. It's a personal thing. Yeah. So I said this in the notes. I kind of wrote this in the notes for us, |
| 2:01.4 | but I said, if anybody tries to explain Sabbath to you in like an easy graphic, like run, |
| 2:05.7 | because this is complex. And it should be because it's a deep and beautiful gift that God has given us. |
| 2:13.3 | So, okay, we want to try to talk about Sabbath. I want to just, like, jump in with you really quickly. |
| 2:18.2 | I love having different members of the Go and Tell Girls team with me on the podcast |
| 2:21.7 | because we have such different life stages. |
