Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast.

Our goal here is to help your family become a multi-generational team on mission by providing you with biblically rooted concepts, tools, and rhythms.

Your hosts are Jeremy Pryor and Jefferson Bethke, and this season is all about crafting a family-friendly day of rest.

We'll talk about the biblical idea of Sabbath, hear

testimonies from different families, and also discuss practical ways to do this with kids. Make sure you

give us a follow so you don't miss out on future episodes. So you guys, well, welcome to the Family

Teams podcast.

I'm here with Jeff and Alyssa Bethke.

You guys know that we are always trying to figure out ways to equip families for how to be teams.

And one of the greatest tools that we've been trying to figure out is how to have a Sabbath.

And so we want to talk to you guys about lots of different ways to do this,

especially with little kids. It's like one of the number one questions we get. How in the world

do you rest when you have littles that you have to care for? Is that just torture calling that

rest? And then it's just another day like every other day. And so we have a lot of families that

have tried to figure this out. I wanted to dial in and talk to Jeff and Alyssa about how they've tried to figure this out. So we're going to go into your story and try to understand like, like, you know, both the how this evolved for you. So yeah, talk to us a little bit, a little bit about like when you first started because a lot of folks are like they they're hearing this idea, like, okay, a day of rest.

Yeah.

How did that this strike you, you know, give us that story background?

I'd love to hear Alyssa's answer this too.

But I think it's funny.

I was just saying about this the other day.

Not even just the beginning.

I'm going to give a reflecting on this the other day. I think we've been honoring Sabbath pretty much since we've had kids. So eight years now, seven years now, you know, getting close to there.
