  • EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

    This podcast episode explores the transformative power of embracing the Sabbath—a dedicated 24-hour period of rest and reflection. In a fast-paced world, where the constant rush of life often leaves us feeling disconnected from the beauty around us, this episode invites listeners to pause, unplug, and savor God's goodness.

    In this episode I will share the story of how Sabbath impacted me and my family, list some practical tips on how to incorporate a Sabbath practice into your life, and give you some valuable resources on rest.
