What if rest isn't laziness… but obedience? In this episode of the Father On Purpose Podcast, Kent and Lawson explore one of the most overlooked rhythms in modern Christian life: Sabbath. Starting with the biblical significance of numbers like 3, 7, 12, and 40, the conversation quickly turns practical as they unpack why God built rest into creation itself. Why did God rest on the seventh day if He wasn't tired? What does Sabbath actually look like for busy dads with careers, kids, sports schedules, and endless responsibilities? Is this just an Old Testament rule, or is there still wisdom in it for Christian fathers today? Kent shares how his family intentionally protects a weekly rhythm of rest, connection, and trust in God. Lawson wrestles honestly with how difficult Sabbath can feel in real life, especially for dads who have spent years running nonstop. This episode is a grounded, biblical, and practical conversation about work, trust, faith, family rhythms, and learning to slow down before burnout forces you to.
