In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, Charlie and Brian explore the power and liberation of Sabbath practice through a Christopagan and Druidic lens. They discuss the cultural baggage, theological controversies, and harmful misconceptions that have turned this sacred practice into a burden instead of a blessing. Drawing from Rabbi Rami Shapiro’s Minyan and their own lived experiences, they offer a vision of Sabbath as a radically restorative act—one tailored to your life, your rhythms, your joy. Whether you need permission to rest or a new way to connect with Spirit, this episode will help you reclaim sacred stillness as an act of healing and resistance.Minyan: Ten Principles for Living a Life of Integrity by Rami M.
