Shabbat for Christians? Pressing Pause with Michael and Selah Hirsch

Send us a text

Can Christians embrace the Jewish Sabbath, and if so, what might it look like?
In this inspiring episode of the Bridge Builders Forum Podcast, Ryan Lambert sits down with Michael and Selah Hirsch, authors of Pressing Pause, to explore how rediscovering the biblical rhythm of Shabbat transformed their family life, deepened their relationship with God, and helped them resist the exhaustion of a nonstop culture.

Together, they discuss:

*What “soul exhaustion” looks like in today’s world and how Shabbat offers a sacred refuge.

*How a trip to Israel reshaped their understanding of Sabbath rest.

*Why Shabbat isn’t just a Jewish idea, but a divine rhythm meant to bless all humanity.

*How Christians can begin to practice Sabbath in ways that honor its Jewish roots while fitting their own faith traditions.

This is a timely conversation as more Christians rediscover the beauty of the Sabbath and ask what it means for their own lives and communities.
