How We Practice Sabbath [Cultivating Spiritual Growth in Your Home 3 of 5]

  • Summary

  • Welcome to episode 3 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.

    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
    This series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below). You can use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.
