Episode 21: Sabbath – A Rhythm of Rest (Season Finale)

What this episode covers

In our final episode of Season One, host Erin Arruda invites her husband Mickey Arruda back to share a glimpse into what Sabbath looks like for their family. Over the past six years, the Arrudas have learned to embrace Sabbath as a weekly rhythm rooted in Scripture—a sacred invitation to rest, reflect, and be restored. Through moments of reflection, restoration, and recreation, they’ve discovered the beauty of letting the Holy Spirit lead their family into true rest. Their story reminds us that Sabbath isn’t about perfection, but about presence. Even starting small—a walk, a pause, a meal shared slowly—can begin to shift the rhythm of your week and your heart toward freedom and worship. This conversation is inspired by Exodus 5, where Moses declares to Pharaoh: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.”Even then, God’s heart was to free His people from endless labor so they could experience His joy and presence. 📚 Resources Mentioned: Sabbath as Resistance by Walter Brueggemann The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer 🕊️ Weekly Sabbath Reflection Questions:Take time to slow down and meet with the Lord through these guiding questions.

What are you proud of or celebrating for this week? What did you learn of God‘s character this week? How did you reflect the image of Christ this week? What felt hardest about this week? What felt easiest about this week? What did you learn from this week? What made you laugh the hardest this week? When did you want to give up this week?
