Week two of building or strengthening your sabbath practice: REST. Here are 3 exercises to incorporate into your sabbath day to deepen the rest you experience in the midst of it. 

Once we stop, how do we rest? This second week of our focus on sabbath we look at what resting in Sabbath means. Does it just mean taking a day off, or is it much deeper? Listen in as pastor JD explores the sabbath's roots in the story of a liberating God inviting a liberated people into a practice of resistance against the systems that exploit their humanity (i.e. the Sabbath). 

The first step in Sabbath is stopping.
