Summary

If you’ve often felt like you’re a soldier for God instead of just resting in being a child of God, I’m telling you, this conversation is for you. I know so many of you are taking vacations this time of year and our team is getting ready to do the same thing. It’s the perfect time to talk about why a yearly Sabbath really matters in the rhythm of our calendar. Yvette Henry is home schooling her kids full time, while also being an author and podcaster. We so often get questions about what rest and sabbath looks like for parents. How do you find the time? How do you bring your kids into moments of sabbath? And you’re going to hear Yvette’s helpful perspective about all of it. Her book Release, Rest, Remain is also the perfect thing to pick up on your Sabbath while you take some time to unplug from screens and rest your mind. Don’t forget, we have a Sabbath Practice Guide available for you over on spirituallystronger.com. It’s got a list of ideas and ways to practice Sabbath. Find the show notes here . . . .
