Summary

There are many misconceptions about what practicing the Sabbath, or ceasing from work, really entails. People often view Sabbath as a day for lounging around the house, binging a show on Netflix, or just doing nothing. Those things can be fine, but do they really bring about "soul rest?" In this episode, Josh and Christi go in-depth about the purpose and meaning of Sabbath, and the unique ways they have learned to cultivate it in their home. Josh and Christi talk about:

Shabbat dinner as a fun, family-centric rhythm for your weekly Sabbath
Why Sabbath rest is a gift from God and how you can make it work to fit your family dynamic
How to fight against the pull of Western culture away from the biblical gift of Sabbath
