2023-10-1927 minExploring Faith, Pursuing GraceSolo E16: We All Need a Little More SabbathBurnout is everywhere. I think that in our post-lockdown world, we all realized just how much we needed some time to refresh. For those of us who had the privilege of staying home during the lockdown, the time we had to spend with our families was priceless. I know that’s true for me and my year as a stay-at-home dad with Cayden. But for those of us who were considered essential workers with nonessential pay, our heartache for Sabbath intensified like never before.

Personally, I think this is something we must get right, not because we’ll go to hell if we miss it, but because it has huge implications for how we view Christian history, and more importantly, how we answer some critical issues facing the church today, namely the conversation surrounding Christian nationalism.

So the other day I was thinking about how I would explain to Cayden, my three-year-old, why we don’t use instruments on Sunday morning. Since there is no biblical reason to not use them, I need to have a good reason why. And I think the best answer I can give is that it is just our tradition, a tradition we enjoy and can be proud of.

For many Christians, this is equivalent to the gospel, but it is not the only way Christians have talked about the atonement. In fact, it is a fairly recent development, at least in its current form, when compared to the rest of church history. Thinking back to his roots in the Restoration Movement (the Stone-Campbell Movement), Daniel thought that this interview would help us better understand the distaste that Barton W. Stone had for PSA theory.
