    104. Reflections from a Traveling Summer Sabbath (in Nashville, Tennessee!)

    Join the podcast this week as Addison Ott reflects on her second annual Summer Sabbath. This year, she took a month to slow down, travel, try new things, reconnect with friends, and make room for God in a new way. From spending time in Nashville, Tennessee and exploring new places to reconnecting with friends, attending concerts, and rediscovering the beauty of unhurried days, Addie shares what she learned from stepping away from her usual rhythms and making intentional space to rest with God. Addie hopes this conversation encourages you to consider what rest could look like in your own season, whether that means a weekly Sabbath, an afternoon away, a slower evening, or simply creating more space to be present with God and the people He has placed around you. As life continues to change and seasons come and go, may you remember that rest is not wasted time, it’s an invitation to slow down, receive God’s goodness, and trust Him with what comes next. – Links to the things we talked about today – ⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌿 Join The Gentle Recap email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gentleandlowly.co/the-gentle-recap⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 🤠 Visit Our Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gentleandlowly.co/podcast⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ 🛍️ New Tee of The Week (Every Monday!) | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠shop.gentleandlowly.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Addie's Music of Summer Sabbath: Happy To Be Here Album by Benjamin William Hastings & Aodhán King Happy To Be Here Hollow Grave Saturday BONUS: Worship Night/LIVE Album Recording in Nashville Yahweh - from Nashville Land of Color Ancient of Days You Hold It All Invitation Running (my absolute favorite) Psalm 23 Music of the Week Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2yl2xwXzD5tZkVBhzwlyj5?si=840d26817999453c – Let's be friends! ☻ – Addie's Instagram⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@addie.ott⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Addie's Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AddisonOtt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community Instagram: ⁠⁠@gentleandlowly.co⁠⁠ Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gentleandlowly.co.pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For additional resources, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠gentleandlowly.co⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ #gentleandlowlycopodcast #carryingjesuslove Made with Love from Indiana ♥
