This episode is a heartfelt invitation to trade hustle for holy rest. Sabbath isn’t a rigid rule—it’s a gift from God that reorders our lives around His presence. As we head into a busy season, Jamaiah shares how practicing Sabbath has transformed her home, her work rhythms, and her soul.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- Why Sabbath is a gift and a command (not a reward you “earn”)
- The difference between self-care and Sabbath-care (inward vs. upward & outward)
- How rest forms trust: pausing even when you’re “in the flow”
- Practical ways to make Sabbath realistic in a modern schedule
- A gentle challenge to put God—not productivity—at the center
The 3-Part Sabbath Rhythm (Simple + Doable)
- Prepare – Plan your week to make space (meals, dishes, errands done ahead).
- Protect – Guard the time with clear boundaries and loving “no’s.”
- Delight – Fill the day with worship, Scripture, unhurried conversation, laughter, candlelight, and beauty.
Scriptures to Meditate On
- Genesis 2:2–3 — God finished His work and rested.
- Exodus 20:8–10 — “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”
- Mark 2:27 — “Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
- Hebrews 4:9–10 — A Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
- Isaiah 58:13–14 — Call the Sabbath a delight and find your joy in the Lord.
Big Takeaways
- Sabbath is not a productivity hack; it’s a holy rhythm that forms you.
- Rest isn’t only pausing what drains you—sometimes it’s pausing what delights you to keep God first.
- You’ll often get more done in six days with God than seven without Him.
