7 takeaways from this study The Sabbath is more than rest from fatigue. It is a celebration of spiritual fullness and a reminder of God's creation, designed to rejuvenate both body and soul. True rest and renewal come from honoring God's design for our lives, not from modern “machines of rest” or stimulants like caffeine. Spiritual growth and application require discernment. Avoiding logical fallacies helps us receive truth regardless of the messenger. Delegation and wise leadership, as exemplified by Moses and Yitro (Jethro), are essential for healthy, sustainable community and ministry. We are not meant to walk alone. Community, mutual support, and accountability are central to living out faith effectively. The Ten Commandments are not just rules but a framework for a just, loving, and purposeful life that honors God and others. Trust in God is the foundation for moving from bondage (of any kind) to blessing. Faith, confession and perseverance shape the journey of spiritual transformation. One man's life was, by any worldly standard, a roaring success. He led three companies, was responsible for 300 employees, was raising tens of millions of dollars annually, and made lengthy public appearances daily. Outwardly, it looked like everything he touched prospered. Yet on the inside, the pace was unsustainable. He found himself fatigued, drained, and spiritually confused, constantly struggling to “keep it all together.” With exhaustion mounting, he reached out to a trusted business adviser who happened also to be a pastor. In a vulnerable moment, he confessed: “I'm hitting a wall. I have more obligations than I have time. I'm drinking eight cups of coffee a day just to stay afloat.” His adviser listened, then posed a direct question: “Are you honoring the Sabbath?” This simple question ignited a journey. The man was struck, almost blindsided, by it — a gentle but firm reminder that perhaps running on caffeine wasn't a sustainable answer. He would later reflect: “Caffeine is not a performance enhancer, it's a loan shark. It robs from tomorrow to pay for today.” What caffeine does is it basically turns off your noticing that you're tired, not actually giving you more energy. That's what adrenaline would do. Caffeine just masks your fatigue. The pastor's question pressed: What if the tiredness, the restlessness, wasn't just physical? What if it was spiritual, too? The man began to explore what the Sabbath actually means, both in Scripture and practice. Delving into the Torah, he found its first appearance in Genesis 2: “By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested (וַיִּשְׁבֹּת vayishbot) on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work.” Genesis 2:2-3 NASB95 He was struck that this rest didn't come from exhaustion, but from fullness. As he later wrote: “This rest is not due to fatigue, but to fullness. It is not the withdrawal of power, but the crowning of meaning. It is the divine punctuation mark at the end of the most magnificent sentence ever spoken: creation. The world is not merely functional, but good—and that goodness is worthy of joy.” He went on to dig deeper, not only scripturally, but practically. Searching for the roots of Sabbath observance, he looked to Jewish tradition, practices like unplugging from all communications, setting aside technology, and turning yourself off from the world beaming itself into you, starting at sundown on Friday. The more he explored, the more passionate he became. He wrote: “The more I started to appreciate the Sabbath, the more I realized the great need to share its wondrous beauty with the world. If the Sabbath can change my life, it can change everyone's life.” He found it ironic that even though “today's world offers so many gadgets promoting rest — memory foam mattresses, sleep apps, white noise machines — never have we, as a society, been more exhausted. We are surrounded by the machinery of rest, but we've lost the theology behind it. Sabbath is the answer.” Opportunity for conversation You've likely heard this man’s name.1Sources for the preceding account, including book quotations: “Charlie Kirk's final book points at a truth we've forgotten,” Deseret News, Dec 12, 2025, accessed Dec. 13, 2025. “‘Stop in the Name of God’: Charlie Kirk’s Final Book Honors ‘Transforming’ Sabbath,” Paul Petite, CBN.com, Dec. 11, 2025, accessed Dec. 13, 2025. He’s Charlie Kirk, whose book Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life was released this week (Dec. 9, 2025) and has reignited a powerful conversation about the Sabbath in the Christian world. As we see the coinciding of Kirk’s book release with our reading this week of Exodus 18–20, within it the Sabbath commandment, there's a lesson waiting for all of us. Whether we are building companies, leading families, or seeking holiness: true rest comes from aligning with God's order, not man's endless striving. Keep an open mind When evaluating any teaching — especially on controversial topics like the Sabbath or from polarizing figures such as Charlie Kirk — it's important to watch out for logical fallacies that can cloud good judgment. The “shoot the messenger” fallacy happens when we dismiss truth — and attack the method of delivery — simply because we dislike the message. Similarly, the ad hominem fallacy attacks a person's character rather than considering the argument. The genetic fallacy rejects ideas based on their source, not their merit. Instead, focus on the message itself, weighing it against Scripture, regardless of our feelings about the teacher. A sign and a testimony The Sabbath — שַׁבָּת Shabbat — was never intended as mere ritual or recovery from fatigue. It is, as Charlie described, “the crowning of meaning.” Embedded in the book of בְּרֵאשִׁית Beresheet (Genesis) and reiterated in Exodus 20:8–11 (“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy”; Deuteronomy 5:12–15), the Sabbath is sanctified, set apart (קָדוֹשׁ kadosh). It is an invitation — more, a command (מִצְוָה mitzvah) — to cease (שָׁבַת shavat), be full and delight in God's creation. Shabbat is both a sign (אוֹת ot, Exodus 31:12–17) and a testimony (עֵדוּת edut) to Who our God is: a Creator who brings order from chaos, who invites us into His rest (וַיָּנַח vayanach, “and He rested,” Exodus 20:11). But Sabbath is also a battleground. For centuries, debates swirled: Is Sabbath only for the Jews? Has the resurrection transferred rest from Saturday to Sunday? Charlie is not the first to ask; in fact, Samuel Bacchiocchi's seminal 1977 dissertation-book “From Sabbath to Sunday” details this historical shift and its profound theological consequences. Yet, as followers of Messiah, we look to His example. Yeshua kept Shabbat (Luke 4:16). He reminded us: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27 NASB95 (see last Shabbat’s study: “Sacred cycles: Embracing God's rhythms of rest and labor“) Reclaiming Sabbath has meant returning to the root and fullness of what God invites us into — a taste of the world to come (עוֹלָם הַבָּא olam haba). Leadership and burden Charlie's story of being overwhelmed echoes that of Moses' experience. In Exodus 18, יִתְרוֹ Yitro (Jethro) wisely advises Moses to share responsibility: “You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, for the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.” Exodus 18:18 NASB95 The solution? Delegation. Equity in leadership. Bringing others into the work, each according to gifting and ability. The instructions for training leadership in the ways of Heaven is linguistically linked to the giving of the Ten Commandments. In Hebrew, the narrative is woven together with the וַ vav consecutive, indicating God's actions unfolding in beautiful, purposeful sequence — a pattern of rest, structure, and relationship. In honoring Sabbath, we are reminded not just to rest, but to participate in and build wise, healthy community. Priesthood of all believers As the Torah moves into Exodus 19–20, Israel is called to be a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (מַמְלֶכֶת כֹּהֲנִים וְגוֹי קָדוֹשׁ mamlekhet kohanim v'goy kadosh). Our role is not merely to obey but to draw near — to help others approach (הִקְרִיב hikriv) — the Holy One. In the Messiah, this calling is heightened: You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood. 1Peter 2:5 NASB95 Our observance of the Sabbath is a living testimony — an act of separation (קָדוֹשׁ kadosh) that draws others to ask about the hope and peace we carry. Fear and love “The fear of the LORD” (יִרְאַת יְהוָה yirat Adonai). This fear/awe (יָרֵא yare) is not paralyzing terror but reverent awareness. God sees — רָאָה ra'ah — beyond outward performance to our hearts. As Yeshua (Jesus) taught: “the greatest commandment is: ‘Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one; and you shall love (אָהַב ahav) the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might'” Deuteronomy 6:4-5 NASB95 Sabbath becomes a sanctuary for our returning, repenting and receiving God's love anew. The Ten Words: עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדִּבְּרוֹת Aseret HaDibrot The Ten Commandments are not rules alone, but a framework for relationship. The first — “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt” — is a declaration of deliverance, echoed every Shabbat. “You shall have no other gods before Me” is about allegiance. “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13) reminds us that life is sacred, for humanity is made בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים b'tzelem Elohim (“in the image of God,” Genesis 1:27). The commandments build a community of justice, kindness, and holiness — the very heart of Torah and the teaching of Messiah. Community, confession and healing It can be easy, in our brokenness, to withdraw. Many wonder, as did participants in our study, “Could God truly want me, after all I've done?” Yet the answer of the Sabbath is always “yes.” We are called not to isolation but to community, to confess our failings (“Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed,” James 5:16 NASB95), and to strengthen each other in faith. Sabbath gatherings are a time for restoration and encouragement — space for honest hearts and uplifted hands. Testing and trust: Wisdom for the walk In a world of many voices, the call to “test the spirits” (1John 4:1) is urgent. We must return to the Scriptures — TaNaKh and Apostolic Writings — measuring every teaching by the Word. As the Bereans modeled (Acts 17:11), search, question, discern. As we trust (אֵמוּנָה emunah) and obey, we encounter joy and peace beyond what striving ever brought. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 NASB95 An invitation to Sabbath Charlie Kirk's journey is not unique. His discovery is ancient and ever new: Sabbath is a divine gift — a rhythm of rest, joy, holiness, and communal healing. As we recapture what has been so often lost, we open ourselves to transformation, not just personally, but as communities and nations — a light to the world. So let's remember the Sabbath — זָכוֹר אֶת־יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת zakhor et-yom haShabbat —and keep it holy. In Messiah, every week is a new invitation to rest, rejoice, and be restored. Shabbat shalom (Sabbath peace). 1 Sources for the preceding account, including book quotations: “Charlie Kirk's final book points at a truth we've forgotten,” Deseret News, Dec 12, 2025, accessed Dec. 13, 2025. “‘Stop in the Name of God’: Charlie Kirk’s Final Book Honors ‘Transforming’ Sabbath,” Paul Petite, CBN.com, Dec. 11, 2025, accessed Dec. 13, 2025.

Is an elder always an Elder, or are they simply an elder—and how does that change what Peter says about them in chapter five? Tune in to today's episode to make sense of that sentence and to dive into the closing remarks of 1 Peter, with a view of leadership that resists the worldly temptation to wield authority over others. Instead, see how submitting to one another out of obedience to the Lord elevates our life together and amplifies our witness to the watching world. In this episode, the guys tie all the verses together to show how these concepts are lived out today, and challenge some translation choices along the way. Join us for the conclusion of our series on the book of 1 Peter, and feel free to drop any unanswered questions about the series on Facebook! 

What is God's design for a strong church? Peter tells us, when elders serve like Jesus and the whole body walks in humility, the church will be positioned to walk through inevitable trials. With Pastor Kaleb Allen.

As we get older we can see the importance, if not the urgency, to savor every moment that we have been given by the Lord. The Christmas season brings a heightened awareness of this reality. In a season where we are going to find ourselves in lots of rooms and around lots of table...some we are excited about and some that we aren't so excited about...let us stop and ask what kind of presence we bring. As believers may we feel the calling and the delight to bring the Lord's presence to those we will be around. He has ordained those specific moments and individuals. In this series we will look at four traits of those who seemingly walk in a nearness to the Lord and so bless those in their company. DNA Questions - 1 Peter 5:5-8DiscoverWhat do you think of when you think of the word humility?How do you clothe yourself in humility?Is it harder for you to believe that God has a mighty hand or that He cares about you? Why? NurtureHow does the gospel help us clothe ourselves in humility?In what ways does pride try to mimic humility in your life?Why is it so difficult to truly cast all our anxieties on Him? ActWhat is one thing that would change about your week if you actually cast an anxiety upon the Lord?What is one practical way you could clothe yourself with humility towards someone this week?

Wesee the gifts of the Spirit are given so that the whole body of Christ mightprofit as we read in 1 Corinthians 12:7. Now we notice that Paul is keying inon four specific offices that are vitally necessary for the leading, theoversight, and the feeding of the church. He mentions those here in verse 11.He gave some Apostles. Those were the initial twelve men that Jesus Himselfcalled. Then alongside these Apostles, with the next gift and office were the prophets.Together these two callings, gifting and offices, laid the foundation of the church(Ephesians 2:20).  Thenwe notice the next office and gifting was, “some evangelists”. Of course, theseare the ones who spread the word of God with a special gifting as they traveledand as they ministered in different locations. They most likely were the churchplanters. Like Peter, when they would preach people would respond to the gospelunder conviction of sin and come to know Christ as their Savior. This officeand gifting is especially exercised for the growth and expansion of the church. ThenPaul gives the last office, and He uses two names that indicates two specificgiftings. “Some pastors and teachers”. The fact that the word"some" is not repeated indicates that we have here one office withtwo ministries. The word pastor means shepherd. A shepherd is someone who caresfor the sheep. Two other words are used for the same office in the NewTestament, which are elder and bishop. We see them in 1 Timothy 3 and also in 1Peter 5.  In1 Peter 5:1-4, Peter had a specific message for the elders as leaders in thechurch.  “The elders who are among youI exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: Shepherd the flock ofGod which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly,not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted toyou, but being examples to the flock; Notice he toldthem to fulfill the role of shepherds as pastors.  Ibelieve one of the special callings that God revealed to me as a young believer,along with a special gift that goes along with, was to be a pastor shepherd to theflock of God, and to care for His sheep. To be a shepherd means you love thesheep. Remember Psalm 23 where David writes, “The Lord is my shepherd, Ishall not want”. What example do we have from the Lord Jesus Christ? Hecared for the sheep. He leads the sheep. He leads them by example and He gaveHis life for the sheep.  No doubt Peter isthinking of this in 1 Peter 5. Again the “good shepherd, cares for the sheep, feedsthe sheep the Word of God, leads the sheep, and protects the sheep from falseteachers and doctrines (Acts 20:28-30). That'swhy the companion gift of teaching has to be in the life of a pastor. When Paulgave the instructions for the elders in the early church, they had to be ableto teach God's word, understand God's word, have the knowledge of what God's Wordrepresented, stood for, and how it should be proclaimed. This is all verycrucial for the church, the flock of God, to be healthy and productive. So,pastors and teachers, these are gifted people who help care for the flock,protect the flock, lead the flock, and they take time to visit the orphans andthe widows, as we read in James 1:27. “Pure religion and undefiled beforeGod and the father is this. To visit the fatherless, the orphans and the widowsin their affliction and to keep themselves unspotted from the world”.  Apastor does this by example as he cares, protects, teaches, feeds, and leadsthe flock of God. Pray for your pastor today as he fulfills this wonderfulministry to the church! And pastors, we would do well to take heed to Paul'sparting words to young pastor Timothy, “But you be watchful in all things,endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2Timothy 4:5). Godbless!

Turn from evil and grow in love and devotion toward one another, brothers and sisters in the faith. Following Christ does not mean we will always get along. In fact, we may be abused, or even betrayed from those whom we serve with. Maybe you have dealt with this, or are currently dealing with this. Tune in to today's episode to hear the guys unpack Peter's words to us—the family of faith—and how we should respond to evil within the body. Furthermore, how this relates to suffering in the faith and giving the reason for the hope you have, in every and every situation.

1 Peter 5:1–2 - So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: [2] shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; (ESV) Donate to the dental fund of Aaron Green by going to https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/dentalhelp 

Opening your life and home to others comes with imperfections and gripes. But as Christians, we are to do all things without complaining and guard our hearts and minds against the temptation to mutter against each other when we part company. Instead, let us lead as servant examples and strengthen ourselves in the challenge of faithful witness. Tune in to today's episode of the After Class Podcast to hear how the guys unpack the end of 1 Peter 4. Let us discipline ourselves for the sake of our prayers, so that our witness to unbelievers might be patterned after Christ.
