Listen "How To Create Space for Rest in Our Fast-Paced World S3E19"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, S3E19, we talk about what Sabbath really means in today’s world. We cover the difference between the letter and the spirit of the Sabbath, and how legalism can easily creep into church life. There’s practical discussion around digital distractions, the pressures of always being busy, and how to intentionally create space for rest. The conversation also touches on church expectations, removing burdens that keep people from honest connection, and why doing good is central to Sabbath. Finally, we consider how pausing and slowing down can help relationships with God, others, and even ourselves.00:00 "Rest and Obedience Through Jesus"04:43 "Rethinking Church Dress Codes"08:54 Sabbath: Doing Good Restores Lives09:59 "Sabbath: Embracing Unhurried Intentionality"14:06 "Social Media as Mental Break"19:13 "Social Media's Impact on Beliefs"22:11 Retiree's Weekend Drives26:14 "Abiding in Jesus Increases Capability"29:48 Purpose Over Preference in Faith31:20 Compassionate Church Interactions36:28 "Authenticity Over Facades in Church"38:05 "Embrace Authenticity, Not Pretense"41:00 "Sam's Story"
