The One Where I Took a Sabbath

🛑 New episode just dropped! And this one’s all about stopping.

 

I took a full three-month sabbatical—July to September 2024—and in this episode, I’m breaking down what really happened when I stepped away from church rhythms, cultural pressure, and nonstop motion to actually rest with God.

 

💡 LED Spotlight: I share the journey—burnout, small-town worship, preaching a pivotal sermon at Western Hills, and the invitation to “Be the Church.”

 

🏛️ Kingdom Culture: Let’s talk hustle. We’re pulling back the curtain on grind culture and reclaiming Sabbath as a holy rhythm—one that’s countercultural and absolutely necessary.

 

❓ God Questions: “Is choosing simplicity actually spiritual consumerism—or am I denying need?” I unpack this tension and explain how simplicity is about freedom, not deprivation.

 

✋🏾 Training in Righteousness: This week’s challenge—Practice Simplicity.

Ideas include:

 

Daily digital detox

 

Decluttering your space

 

Saying “no” to protect your peace

 

 

🔥 You don’t need a title to take a Sabbath. You just need the courage to stop.
