Send us a textLast time we began our discussion about the spiritual practice of sabbathing--how and why we do it. In this episode, I get into the details about how I started my sabbath rhythm and the loooooooong process it took to develop a rhythm that eventually included my family. Pull up a chair.If you have questions about sabbath that you would like to submit for a future Q&R episode, please comment below or email me [email protected] are some of my favorite resources I turned to when I began my sabbath rhythm: (may contain affiliate links)BOOKSThe Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. This is where sabbath all began for me! The book covers many spiritual disciplines, not just sabbath. It's my favorite gateway into making spiritual disciplines a life rhythm.Subversive Sabbath by  A.J. Swoboda | This book has some fantastic teachings about sabbath, and it's a classic "eat the meat and spit out the bones" book. I suggest inviting the Spirit to guide you with discernment as you read.The Invitation to a Journey by M. Robert Mulholland Jr. | This is a fantastic starting point as well, beginning with establishing why spiritual disciplines are so foundational to living your best life. I personally plan to revisit this one again soon. PODCASTSSabbath 01: Stop from Rule of Life Podcast. This is the first in a series of four teachings that complements practicingtheway.org's free sabbath discipleship curriculum. Highly recommend the doing the discipleship series with a small group and complementing it with listening to this podcast series.Sabbath (ft. Tyler Staton) | Unforced Rhythms of Grace from the John Mark Comer Teachings podcast. I referenced this teaching by Tyler Staton in the podcast today. Fantastic perspective shift for sabbath as a rhythm. (There are many more JMC teachings about sabbath in this podcast playlist. When I need a refresher as to why we sabbath, this podcast is where I go for inspiration and motivation to get me back on track.)Places where we can continue this conversation:Email at [email protected] Instagram @joyabaddotcomStay up to date on all our conversations and the resources I’m creating for you by subscribing to my monthly newsletter and get my Couch-to-Sabbath guide for FREE.
