The Spiritual Practice of Sabbath: Establishing a Rhythm of Work & Rest

To truly Sabbath is hard, but it is an act of resistance against the ways of the world that distract us from God’s love. We are not valuable to God because of the work we do. We are not saved or significant because of our productivity or success. Sabbath is the sign that reminds us of this. We are made to rest with our creator, so we can do the work of justice in-step with God. So we can know who we are. So we can truly rest and find peace when it seems there is none. In this talk we look at Sabbath as an act of resistance against white supremacy, capitalism and powers that seek to dehumanize.  We discuss what it is and what it isn’t and recognize our invitation to participate.
