On today's episode we continue our discussion about Sabbath being necessary and if we don't take this important day of rest, we will be forced to one way or another.

2.1 Bite-Sized Sabbaths

"You will Sabbath through choice or by force." This is true of rest. If we do not rest, we will be forced to rest. Our bodies and minds will force us. So what other things in life require rest--so much so that it will be forced if neglected? This episode explores the idea that we can and should choose to rest from certain things in our life before we are forced to take a rest. // Show Notes // Justin Khoe: Life, Faith, & Things That Matter Articles by Me OUTLOOK magazine Kingdom Edge magazine What I Believe about Sabbath The Sabbath Your Special Day with God To Hell with the Hustle by Jefferson Bethke The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer #SabbathSlowdown articles by Rachel Ashworth Get full access to The Sabbath Slowdown at thesabbathslowdown.substack.com/subscribe

This is the new normal here at the Sabbath Slowdown!

1.16 Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

1.14. Memorializing the Sabbath

In many ways Sabbath has become a memorial instead of a celebration. Instead of celebrating relationships, rest, peace, and love, we memorialize the life we mourn. We’re exhausted and have to rest instead of celebrating a day we get to rest. Instead of celebrating the fullness of life, we memorialize the empty. So how can we move from emptiness to fullness? How can we bring our Sabbath from dead to alive again? // Show Notes // “7 Major Mistakes to Sabotage Sabbath” by Dr. Garland Vance Easy Stovetop Cherry Grunt “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale Articles by Me OUTLOOK magazine Kingdom Edge magazine What I Believe about Sabbath The Sabbath Your Special Day with God To Hell with the Hustle by Jefferson Bethke The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer #SabbathSlowdown articles by Rachel Ashworth Get full access to The Sabbath Slowdown at thesabbathslowdown.substack.com/subscribe

1.13 The Sabbath Prank

Just like we're duped by the calendar every April 1st and duped by the holiday schedule driving our retail stores, we've also been duped about Sabbath. I was duped by an idea of Sabbath that was never meant to be. We have all been duped about the most beautiful gift ever given to us...Sabbath rest.

1.12 Sabbath and Painful Relationships

Have you ever felt you were heading toward a disaster? Have you ever seen yourself moving toward something (or someone) that might wreck you? Truth be told, when you’re in a problematic relationship, it can steal your joy and steal your peace everyday, including Sabbath. So, I’ve covered here on the podcast how Sabbath is not only for Christians. Sabbath is for everyone. Today I’m here to tell you that peacemaking with others is not only for Christians.
