The practice of Sabbath is new ... well, to about all modern-day Americans. This ancient practice is so much more than a ritual, but rather a rhythm of living God intended.

If you aren’t ready for the full guide, in our weekly email, we’ll send you the focus for that week.

01 Start small

Start where you are, not where you “should” be. If a full 24

hours is too much, start with a half day; if that’s too much,

start with a few hours.

02 Think subtraction, not addition

Please do not “add” Sabbath into your already overbusy,

overfull life. Think: what can I cut out? A weekend sports

team? A house project? Weekend emails? Formation is

about less, not more.

03 You get out what you put in

The more fully you give yourself to this Practice, the more

life-changing it will be. The more your just dabble with it and

the more shortcuts you take, the less transformation you

will experience.

The Guide is an overall ‘why’ we practice the Sabbath. The Meditation Guide gives us some guiding principles and actual practices to do during the Sabbath.

Everyone will Sabbath a little differently, so remember, this isn’t a form to follow, but suggestion for how you might get started on your Sabbath.

You can listen to these podcasts for additional commentary and thoughts about the Practice of Sabbath.
