Bonus Episode: Sabbath Soup, with Kathi Lipp

In this episode, host Becky Keife and guest Kathi Lipp discuss the concept of Sabbath Soup, a guide that combines meal planning with the practice of Sabbath rest. They explore the importance of preparing meals in advance to create space for rest and connection with God and family. Kathi shares her journey of embracing Sabbath, the significance of community support, and how meal planning can alleviate decision fatigue. This conversation also highlights the role of prayers in meal preparation and the joy of gathering around the table with loved ones.
