Is Sabbath About Rules—or Something More?

from Ask Mom and Dad · host Ask Mom & Dad

In this episode of Ask Mom & Dad, the conversation journeys from disaster headlines to spiritual rhythms—landing squarely on the meaning and misuse of Sabbath rest. Greg and Tonya reflect on how sacred symbols, like the bronze serpent or even a church building, can drift into idolatry when we lose sight of their purpose. Then they dive into what Sabbath was meant to be: a gift from God, not a religious burden. With insight from 2 Kings and Hebrews, they explore the tension between reverence and ritual, and how rediscovering Sabbath can help weary souls find rest, trust, and freedom in a world addicted to busyness.
