446 Finding Life in Sabbath: The Gift of Rest and Presence (Lk 6)

Monday, February 17th: In today’s episode of The Daily Grind, we explore the often-overlooked gift of Sabbath. Sabbath isn’t just about rules or restrictions—it’s about stopping, resting, and abiding in God’s presence. From the very beginning of creation, God blessed the Sabbath as a life-giving day. In Exodus, it became a symbol of freedom for a people who had known only endless work. But somewhere along the way, we lost sight of its purpose. Jesus, however, saw the Sabbath as a time for healing, renewal, and joy. Through a personal story about waiting during Marci’s surgery, John reflects on what it means to be truly present in the moment—how learning to rest is not just about time off, but about trust. How do we embrace Sabbath in a world that never stops? How does rest set us free? Join us as we rediscover Sabbath as a gift, not a burden. ⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
