What happens when our worth becomes tied to our relationship status? How do we recognize authentic red flags versus normal human imperfections?

In this soul-refreshing conversation, Ellen is joined by her daughter Taylor Krause (Coffee and Bible Time co-creator) to explore the transformative practice of Sabbath rest—a discipline that's increasingly counter-cultural yet desperately needed.Together, they unpack the biblical foundations of Sabbath, exploring how God himself modeled rest after creation and how Jesus regularly withdrew from ministry demands to pray and recharge. This isn't just theological theory—it's a life-giving invitation that addresses our modern epidemic of burnout and digital distraction.Taylor vulnerably shares her own struggles with technology addiction and the sobering reality that the average person spends ten years of their life on screens. What might happen if we reclaimed even a fraction of that time for true rest? The mother-daughter duo offers practical wisdom for distinguishing between genuine restoration and the false rest offered by endless scrolling, streaming, and shopping.Whether you're a busy parent wondering how Sabbath is even possible or someone searching for deeper connection with God, this episode provides both challenge and encouragement. Ellen and Taylor address the dangers of legalism, offer practical tips for different life seasons, and ultimately point to Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11: "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."Ready to experience the transformative power of true rest?

Join us as we engage with Karl Clausen who challenges you to confront and eradicate the sins that may be hindering your spiritual growth. Karl and I delve into society's tendency to embrace personal truth and self-acceptance, often deflecting blame onto external factors instead of directly addressing our own sinfulness. Through this conversation, we offer a path toward liberation from the chains of sin, urging listeners to bring hidden struggles into the light and break free through Christ's power.Our discussion reveals the profound transformation that occurs when we move from self-deception to breakthrough, particularly in the context of relationships and personal failures. With Karl's guidance, we explore the courage it takes to recognize and confess sins, rather than rationalizing them away. This journey isn't just about admitting our faults but understanding the difference between surface sins and deeper spiritual disconnects. By addressing underlying issues, such as pride and laziness, we can realign ourselves with God's wisdom and experience genuine change, leading to deeper, more fulfilling relationships.As we wrap up this episode, Karl shares powerful testimonies of transformation and the joy of his personal milestones, like becoming a grandparent. The conversation underlines the importance of shifting our approach to scripture, focusing on transformation rather than mere information.
