Rest doesn&#39;t have to be a four-letter word. If you feel like you&#39;re going to break from exhaustion, let me invite you to Simply Sabbath, a podcast for the burnt-out Christian mom, who longs to get back to the core of who she is and reclaim the deep joy and stabilizing peace Jesus has for her in her everyday-- without the mom guilt that often accompanies self-care practices.
Each week, we&#39;ll dive into all things sabbath. You&#39;ll hear some of the host&#39;s thoughts on Sabbath and the things she has learned over the past few years, but more importantly, you&#39;ll get to meet other women who are practicing Sabbath as well and learn what it looks like in their lives. Our conversations will center around God&#39;s original design for the week and how that design can be implemented in a culture that is so enslaved to hustle and hurry. 
What we are talking about in this podcast is not just another thing to add to your to-do list. This is not another expectation for you to live up to. It is a gift outstretched from the hand of your creator. An invitation to press pause on walking alongside Jesus in all the things he&#39;s called you to do. And instead, sit down across from him and just be with him. 
It is an invitation to Simply Sabbath.

Because our culture does not practice Sabbath together in a specific way, not even our church culture, we have to approach Sabbath with a very individualist view of it. What rest looks like for one may not be what rest looks like for another. My guest today, Anna Kettle, author of Sand Between Your Toes, shares with us how that flexibility helps us to embrace the heart-posture of Sabbath rather than executing a specific plant. Listen in.

Her first book ‘Sand Between Your Toes: Inspirations for a Slower, Simpler &amp; More Soulful Life’ released last year under Tyndale House.

Ep 42: Sabbath as a Business Owner with Valerie Woerner

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/2/28/22/d09cfe9a-e48d-4821-9086-cd5d2be8c6d2_140153.mp3

Burnout. It’s real and it’s happening in our churches, our nonprofits, our ministries, and our missional living. We want to do good and make a change in our community, but often, serving others takes more out of us than we’re ready for emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Suddenly, we find ourselves trying to help others from a place of exhaustion. In today’s conversation, Elisa Johnston, a nonprofit founder and director, shares her own journey of burnout, how Sabbath became a necessity in life, and how she now advocates for rhythms of rest for those in serving roles.
About My Guest:
Elisa Johnston empowers ordinary people to be fully alive while making the difference they were born to make at Average Advocate, procrastinates on Instagram, and brings freedom to the exploited through Blackout Trafficking. Whenever and wherever she can, she explores with her three littles and adopted housemate. Thankfully, God, her husband, and other favorite introverts are all particularly grounding, because otherwise her passion to raise-up leaders, live missionally, and start world changing things would compel her into a creative oblivion.

How do you Sabbath when your job happens on Sabbath? Today, my guest Cristi Schroeder talks with me about the importance of rest for Ministry and Church staff and how they can practically accomplish it.

What exactly is true rest? Is it self-care, soul-care, or spiritual care? Is there an absolute in the way we&#39;re supposed to rest? Or is it whatever we feel like doing? In this episode, I&#39;m going to cover the 5Rs, or five components, that I believe are part of Sabbath rest.

Church abuse, hate crimes, school shootings, the news this week has announced more than one tragedy in the US. In other parts of the world, wars raged on and catastrophic events claimed lives. It can all feel very overwhelming, devastating, and hopeless. But Sabbath reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted and He desires for you to rest in His comfort. Today, we&#39;re discussing 7 ways the practice of Sabbath helps us navigate the broken moments in this beautiful life.

This week, we pick up the conversation about if Christians should observe Sabbath. We&#39;re answering the questions: if we observe Sabbath, are we being legalistic? Didn&#39;t Jesus get rid of the Sabbath? Sabbath applied only to Jews, right? Are we missing something if we don&#39;t practice Sabbath? Let&#39;s dig in to part two of this conversation.

Ep 36: Should Christians Observe Sabbath? (pt 2)

In this episode. I want to pray for those of us who find ourselves still striving for God&#39;s favor. Those of us who know that we are saved by grace through faith. And yet, yet, there&#39;s still a little bit of us that thinks that it&#39;s up to us. That it&#39;s is on our shoulders to find favor with God. That is on our shoulders to do the things that would make God happy with us.
Let&#39;s pray.

If I tell a mom she needs to rest regularly, she nods her head in a agreement. But, the moment I use the word &#34;sabbath&#34; it&#39;s like I&#39;ve opened a can of worms... worms that have lots of questions about the properness and legitimacy of Christians observing this spiritual practice. So, this week and next week, we&#39;re answering the questions: if we observe Sabbath, are we being legalistic? Didn&#39;t Jesus get rid of the Sabbath? Sabbath applied only to Jews, right? Are we missing something if we don&#39;t practice Sabbath? Let&#39;s dig in to part one of this conversation.

It&#39;s a sneaky thing, the productivity cycle. It always starts with our good intentions. We start a task, accomplish it, feel a win of sorts, move onto the next task, and the process repeats. Soon, we are caught up in the cycle to the point that when we do find ourselves in a space of rest, we physically, mentally, and emotionally can&#39;t stop doing and just relax. We can&#39;t turn off the need, maybe even the desire, to keep producing. It&#39;s a vicious cycle and I recently found myself caught up in it.

The life of a busy mom is an ever changing one. With new seasons come changes to your schedules, new challenges from your family, different expectations for your spiritual growth, and unique needs that weren&#39;t part of &#34;the plan.&#34; Being flexible is the busy mom&#39;s first line of defense for moving through her week. And that&#39;s just as true within our Sabbath practices. My guest Melissa Dyer shares how her practice has ebbed and flowed over the past 15 years in different seasons of her life.

In His directions to the Israelites concerning Sabbath, God outlines a rest that is community-focused in general and family-focused in particular. For the busy Christian mom contemplating how to cultivate a culture of family rest and connection during Sabbath, I want to suggest 5 ways she can help make that happen.

Today is Valentine&#39;s day and I thought it would be a great day to talk about how you can reconnect with your spouse during your Sabbath practice! I don&#39;t know about you, but there have been times when my husband and I have been so busy that we just feel like we&#39;re two ships passing during the week, but because we have allocated time within our Sabbath for just us to Sabbath together, we are able to reconnect each week! I&#39;m sharing 5 tips to help ensure that Sabbath doesn&#39;t become only about the family connecting but also is a time of reconnection for you and your spouse as well.

Ep 28: 5 Tips for Connecting with Your Spouse during Sabbath

Rest doesn't have to be a four-letter word. If you feel like you're going to break from exhaustion, let me invite you to Simply Sabbath, a podcast for the burnt-out Christian mom, who longs to get back to the core of who she is and reclaim the deep joy and stabilizing peace Jesus has for her in her everyday-- without the mom guilt that often accompanies self-care practices.

Each week, we'll dive into all things sabbath. You'll hear some of the host's thoughts on Sabbath and the things she has learned over the past few years, but more importantly, you'll get to meet other women who are practicing Sabbath as well and learn what it looks like in their lives. Our conversations will center around God's original design for the week and how that design can be implemented in a culture that is so enslaved to hustle and hurry.

What we are talking about in this podcast is not just another thing to add to your to-do list. This is not another expectation for you to live up to. It is a gift outstretched from the hand of your creator. An invitation to press pause on walking alongside Jesus in all the things he's called you to do. And instead, sit down across from him and just be with him.

It is an invitation to Simply Sabbath.
