Ep 33: Encountering God: The Spiritual Discipline of Sabbath Rest

Who is ready for the one and only Kristi McLelland? Today we’re talking sabbath rest, and few know this discipline like Kristi. She’s a biblical culturalist who studies the Scriptures through a middle eastern perspective. In this episode she uncovers beautiful truths about how the Jewish people practiced Sabbath, how we’re to practice it today, and how when we choose rest it’s an active way of choosing Christ.  While we live in a world of busyness and rush, setting aside time to rest is a way of renewing our souls, telling the Lord we trust Him to handle all of life’s worries, and celebrating our redemption in Christ! Who doesn’t want more of this? If you’re tired, worn down, and living without margin, this is an episode that will be so encouraging for your soul.  Sign up at Lifeway.com for the Encountering God Online Bible study, starting January 13, 2022.
