Podcasts about Sabbath

What does it look like to stay full of the Holy Spirit and live from a place of overflow? In this episode, Caroline sits down with Josie to talk about staying connected to Jesus, recognizing when you are carrying things God never asked you to carry, and learning to stay in your lane without comparison. Josie shares practical wisdom for stewarding your spirit, soul, and body, navigating different seasons with grace, teaching your children about the Holy Spirit, and building rhythms of Scripture, prayer, Sabbath, and community. This conversation will encourage you to reconnect with the Lord and live from intimacy instead of exhaustion. Josie Carignan is a speaker, pastor, and author with two great passions in life: Jesus and her family. She and her husband, Brad, co-pastor Uncommon Church in Euless, TX. With over 25 years in ministry, Josie's journey has taken her around the world—preaching, leading mission trips, fighting human trafficking, and navigating three international moves, along with many other adventures.

Presented by Julie Busteed I'm sure you've heard the phrase “work-life balance”. When I hear it, I picture a seesaw, constantly trying to stay perfectly balanced. But if you've ever been on a seesaw, you know that's not easy. There are always ups and downs. I'm not convinced that “balance” is the right goal. I think God calls us to something different—to healthy rhythms. Life has seasons. Some seasons are naturally busier than others, but how do we live out those seasons without always feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and out of sync? The truth is, you and I were never created to live at full throttle all the time. We were created to regularly rest. We were created to practice Sabbath. But what does that really mean? And what does it look like in our lives today? Going back to the very beginning of Scripture, we see that God himself established the pattern. Genesis 2:3 says: Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Think about that. God didn’t rest because he was tired. He rested because he was establishing a rhythm for his creation. A rhythm you and I are meant to follow. The Ten Commandments also references the Sabbath. Exodus 20 says: Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work…. God points back to creation as the reason. Just as he worked for six days and rested on the seventh, he calls us to do the same. Now, Sabbath certainly includes worship but notice that God also repeatedly emphasizes rest. He tells his people to stop working. To cease striving and to follow his example. And perhaps even more importantly, I think we need to change our mindset. Instead of thinking, “I have to take a day off,” what if we saw Sabbath as a weekly declaration that God is enough? It’s a way of saying, “God, you’re in control. The world keeps turning even when I stop working. I trust you to provide. I trust you with what didn’t finish today.” Sabbath isn’t primarily about following another rule. It’s about nurturing our relationship with God. It’s about trusting him enough to stop, worship, rest, and remember that he is the one who sustains our lives.

Every year, we step away from our normal routines as every Room of our House pauses its regular gatherings and meetings to embrace the rhythm of Sabbath. We realize the idea of not gathering from Sunday-Sunday is a little crazy on the surface, but we are guided by a deeper spiritual belief that God intended to weave Sabbath rest into the fabric of creation. We believe that as we cease from our efforts and celebrate again that God is the source of all we have and need, we will experience renewed strength and vision as a House.

By Jeff Brown - During His last Passover, Christ prayed to the Father (John 17). He prayed for His 12 disciples who would soon become Apostles, and He also prayed for us, and for the health of the true Church of God down through the ages.

How do we stay compassionate without abandoning discernment? On today's Fan Mail Friday, I'm answering your questions about enjoying the little years without fearing what comes next, a pastor husband's changing relationship with alcohol, helping others without enabling them, calling out false teachers, teenagers who seem embarrassed by their faith, and whether Christians have lost the gift of Sabbath rest. We're covering a lot of ground today, but it all comes back to the same thing: we need biblical wisdom for the everyday decisions we're facing.Sponsors: Bob Jones University — http://bju.edu/visit | Angel Studios — http://angel.com/Heidi | My Freedom Cart — http://myfreedomcart.com Shop MyFreedomCart for trusted, American-made products that support your values.http://myfreedomcart.com/heidiShow mentions: http://heidistjohn.com/mentionsWebsite | http://heidistjohn.comSupport the show! | http://donorbox.org/donation-827Rumble | rumble.com/user/HeidiStJohnYoutube |    / @‌heidistjohnpodcast  Instagram | @‌heidistjohnFacebook | Heidi St. JohnX | @‌heidistjohnFaith That Speaks Online CommunitySubmit your questions for Fan Mail Friday | http://heidistjohn.com/fanmailfriday

Is it possible to be a strong leader with a healthy soul? Let's be honest — prioritizing soul care can feel at odds with the results-driven culture that sometimes exists in ministry. Even so, the Good Shepherd invites us to slow down to receive the nourishment and refreshment that will not only bless us, but also those we lead. Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi has a conversation with Adam Jungeblut — a pastor of 22 years and soon-to-be graduate of the Soul Shepherding Certificate in Spiritual Direction program. His story illustrates how even the most driven leaders benefit from creating space to heal, grow, and overflow. You'll gain practical insight to help you stay on mission while also prioritizing soul care practices like solitude, silence, and empathy.

Fr. Mike focuses on the concept of being rich in love instead of rich in wealth today, as we read about the heart of a mother and father in our verse from Proverbs. He also emphasizes the presence of sacrificial love in the vocation of marriage and family through God's decision to keep Jeremiah single, saving him from more suffering. Today's readings are Jeremiah 16-17, Ezekiel 45-46, and Proverbs 15:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Andy Crouch's The Tech-Wise Family isn't about keeping pornography out of your home. It's about building the kind of home where you know what you actually want — and where technology doesn't quietly replace it. In part two of this conversation, Michael and Andy get into the ten commitments at the heart of the book, and they're not what you'd expect.They talk about why the goal is wisdom and courage rather than limits, and how untethered access to technology quietly reinforces the fear of being known. They discuss what Sabbath actually looks like — not collapsing on the couch but feasting, playing, worshipping, and resting — and why Andy thinks it's the most broken commandment. They get into what kids say they actually want help with when it comes to devices, which turns out not to be pornography but sleep. And the episode ends somewhere no one expects: at the bedside of the dying, and what it means to be a family that knows how to show up, put the phone down, and stay.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Before we get into anything else today, can I just ask you a question? Are you experiencing genuine restoration and refreshment in your life right now? Not entertainment. Not distraction. Real restoration. Because most people I know would say no, and that's exactly where this week's rhythm comes in. We're talking about Sabbath today, and I know that word can land differently depending on where you're coming from. Maybe it brings up guilt about Sunday sports schedules. Maybe it feels like an Old Testament rule that doesn't apply anymore. Maybe you're in ministry, and Sunday is your biggest work day of the week. Wherever you're starting from, I want us to take a breath and start from scratch, because Jesus Himself tells us something really clarifying about what Sabbath is actually for. We're in Mark chapter 2, where the disciples are grabbing a snack as they walk through a grain field on the Sabbath, and the Pharisees immediately call them out. Jesus responds by pointing back to King David, who ate sacred bread from the altar when he was hungry, and then delivers one of the most liberating lines in all of Scripture: "The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of the people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath." That's the whole principle, right there. The Sabbath was made for you. We also go back to the original command in Exodus 20, and what I love about it is how tender it is. It's not just rest for the head of the household, it's rest for your children, your servants, your animals, and the foreigners living among you. There is so much care and justice built into this rhythm from the very beginning. And then we talk about what Sabbath could actually look like in your real life, not a list of rules, but a genuine question: what does holy refreshment look like for you? For some people it's creativity, painting, gardening, making something. For others it's actual rest, napping, being still. For others it's uninterrupted time with people they love, or being in nature. There's no one-size-fits-all answer here. But the invitation is the same for all of us: stop. Trust that God is at the helm. And see what happens when you actually let yourself rest.

What does holy refreshment actually look like for you? Is there a place in your week where you could carve out even a half day of intentional rest? Where do you notice yourself striving or feeling anxious when you try to stop?

The Israelites left Egypt physically free, but Egypt still had to be driven out of them spiritually — because the slavery of production imprisons the soul, not just the schedule. In this series finale, Pastor Chris Nichols traces three moments in Moses' leadership — daily manna, Jethro's confrontation about an unsustainable pace, and the command to remember the Sabbath — to show that rest is an act of trust, an act of surrender, and an act of resistance, not a retreat from leadership. Chris introduces this week's Soul Practice, Sabbath, with a practical four-part rhythm for building rest into a leader's life. Scripture: Exodus 16; 18; 20:8-11. Week 4 (finale) of Soul-Strengthened Leadership.

Brian opens with heavy hearts over the tragic death of a Wisconsin high school quarterback following a football injury, reflecting on the fragility and brevity of life. He shares insights from a sermon on what actually fuels a lifestyle of service — not guilt, but gratitude for what Christ has done. Brian discusses a Christianity Today review of the late Charlie Kirk's posthumous book on Sabbath-keeping, and its surprisingly countercultural call to unplug from the "endless noise" of modern life. He digs into a deeply personal Gospel Coalition article by a pastor with terminal brain cancer wrestling with the shame that can come when prayers for healing go unanswered, and a fascinating piece on why so few pastors quit ministry despite widespread burnout. Brian closes with Matt Redman's case for "vertical" worship songs that point to God rather than ourselves, and a Charles Stanley devotional on Jesus calming the storm as a picture of overcoming fear through God's presence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're probably familiar with this story from the beginning of Jesus' ministry: Luke 4:16-2016 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,     because he has anointed me     to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives     and recovering of sight to the blind,     to set at liberty those who are oppressed,19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”And then it says this20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Very familiar story for a lot of us who have read the gospels. Made a lot of people unhappy, but it was a very positive message: the first time Jesus came, as you know, His purpose was to set people free. Free from the devil, free from their sicknesses, free from their sin.But did you know he didn't finish His sentence? He pulled open the book of Isaiah, started reading at chapter 61, and He stopped at a comma. Let's go look at the original words. Isaiah 61, starting at verse 1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,     because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;     he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,     and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,And that's where Jesus stopped reading, but here's what came next in the original passage:    and the day of vengeance of our GodThat was the part He left out. And why? Because that wasn't His mission in His first coming. The Day of Vengeance of Our God would be reserved for His Second Coming. And that's what I want to talk about today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Matthew 12:1–21 | Adam Smith

By Randy Urwiller - What does “to exalt God” mean? It's vital that we understand the answer to that question. Because to be in the first resurrection at Jesus Christ's return, we must be doing our best to exalt God every day!

By Jerry Burnhauser - We have a shared ideology of doctrine, a shared bond of belief, and a shared profession of faith. Why then are there divisions among us, as well as attrition to our numbers? The answer is often a misunderstanding of the purpose and importance of fellowship.

By Brandon Zollner - Three principles of a free-will offering. What does it mean for the new covenant church?

By Dan Preston - In a few weeks, we will be observing the biblical festival known as the Feast of Tabernacles. What does it actually mean to keep the Feast, and what can we do to make sure we do so in a way that honors God and glorifies our coming King?

By William Flaman - As followers of Jesus Christ, we are privileged to rehearse for a new world and a new way of life now. God is not only preparing for a world without war, but He is also preparing His people to build it with Him.

By Andrew C Lee - What does it really mean to be good? True goodness is more than simply avoiding wrong actions or appearing good on the outside; it comes from a changed heart as God's Spirit transforms our inner nature. As we continually turn to God in humility and repentance, His goodness can become evident in the

By Matthew Curry - We all have weaknesses. We all have aspects of our faith that don't come as easily as others. In this message we walk through Psalm 51 and see how, when we surrender our weaknesses to God, He can take those weaknesses and use them to make our faith stronger and our relationship with Him even deeper.

By James H Butler - To live by every word of God, we must know what the words mean in the correct context. Every word must be based in truth and love, and we must understand how to determine what is true and what love means.

By Elias Vazquez - This message connects scientific observations of order and design in the universe with the biblical revelation that the designer is the living God revealed in Scripture. It argues that creation is not accidental but purposeful, authored and sustained by God through Jesus Christ. Ultimately, it calls

By Brian Shaw - We are only prepared to keep God's Fall Holy Days in this age when we are preparing for their future fulfillment in the age to come.

By Luis A Marrero - This message explains why the Millennium will still need teachers even after Christ returns, Satan is bound, and God's government is established. He connects this future role to Christian growth today, showing that those who hope to teach in the world tomorrow must first become teachable students

By Tim Martens - The greatest consequences of all are the rewards and punishments explained in Scripture that are and will be administered by God. The Bible clearly states that His rewards are directly tied to our actions.

By Ken Loucks - Prophecy can easily become a maze of headlines, theories, and details that distract from what Scripture actually tells us to watch. A sound prophetic framework begins by identifying the major developments God has revealed, then using those as anchors for evaluating what is happening in the world

By Chuck Smith - Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!

By Richard Schultz - When making a decision involving God's Way of Life, we need to ask ourselves, "How will this decision affect my relationship with God?". This sermon identifies relational issues between us and God which are pointed out in the Bible. These are there to help us make decisions to strengthen our

By William Hewitt - Mankind rejected God's plan to dwell with Him for eternity. The good news is that was not the end of the story! God has put in place a plan that by increments will allow humans to draw close to God and ultimately reach the point where God will dwell with men.

By John Kosmalski - Desires, beliefs, friends, and worries can bust faith, but devotionals, prayer, and congregating build it.
