The Seventh Day Week 1 | Pastor Mel | Everyday Church by Everyday Church

with Pastor Micheal Oxentenko

Stand up and stretch as high and as wide as you can. How does that feel? Imagine what it would feel like if you were chained and not able to stretch or move freely. Paul was in that situation. Many others may have felt depressed in such conditions, but Pa

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. If you've ever felt like there's never enough time, this conversation is for you.    Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.
