How To Actually Sabbath | Boundaries: The Sabbath

You know you need rest, but how do you actually make it happen in a world that never stops? In the second half of our deep dive into the Sabbath, we move from the "why" to the "how." We’re getting incredibly practical about establishing the most important boundary in your life: a 24-hour period set apart for God.

In this episode, we break down the three essential steps to starting a Sabbath practice: picking your 24-hour window, stopping regular work through intentional preparation, and the trial and error of practicing true rest. We also tackle the hard truths about the Sabbath—including why we try to opt out of it and the spiritual consequences of living a chaotic, un-rested life.

In this episode, we discuss:

The 24-Hour Rhythm: Why sunset-to-sunset matters and how to define "work" for yourself.

Preparation as Worship: Why you won’t "stumble" into a Sabbath without an intentional plan.

The Fill vs. Drain Audit: A simple framework to help you decide what activities belong on your day of rest.

Sabbath in the New Covenant: Moving past legalism to see the Sabbath as a sign of God’s care.

A Sabbath Lifestyle: Thinking bigger than just Sundays—from Sabbaticals to the Year of Jubilee.

Whether you’re a parent changing diapers, a professional checking emails, or someone simply exhausted by the hustle, this episode offers a roadmap to reclaiming your peace. It’s time to stop striving and start honoring the design God created for you.
