Do you Sabbath? If not, do you wish you did? Friends, it’s never too late to start implementing the Sabbath! Even if it feels weird, is imperfect and hard, still practice the Sabbath as it has SUCH great benefits.
I believe that choosing to do a longer period of rest each week is an act of trusting God. And learning to trust God is far more important than getting one more thing accomplished off your to-do list.
First part of this episode is about how I practice the Sabbath and includes mindsets to adopt in order to keep the Sabbath holy and walk in obedience in this command of God. Second part of this episode discusses different famous athletes and what we can learn about the importance of rest by seeing their successful training programs, which include adequate rest. We will also talk about how God’s view on rest and the world/Diet Culture's views are VERY different!
