#5: Sabbath

Aired:
July 3, 2022
Host:
Pastor Kenneth Price
Guests:
Wyatt and Kylie Whitman

We are looking at the summer of 2022, assessing our rhythms, and looking to address areas where we made need to press the 'pause' button. Where we need to stop and say, "Jesus, I need you in this space." This podcast is a call to the heart of our people to say "how can we be more intentional?" It's through rhythms and practices that we want to encourage you to follow Jesus's heart in a way you haven't before. And ultimately to live a more intentional and Christ-filled life.

Listen to "Wise Rhythms" on Spreaker.

  • "If it's glorifying to god, and if it fills your soul with joy and wonder about God, you should do that on the Sabbath." -Quote shared by Kenneth Price
  • "Sabbath really affords us the time to put down all the things on our to do list; that consume our mind and take up the space where the Spirit speaks in that still, small voice." -Kylie Whitman
  • "We live in the most distracted time period in history, and there are so many things that want our attention. We have noticed a difference in our Sabbath, and therefore the rest of the week, when we do [putting down technology] well." -Wyatt Whitman
  • "There's no have tos on Sabbath. Just get tos." -Wyatt Whitman
  • "It’s super convicting to realize what your motivation is...instead of being completely satisfied in the abundance that's already available through Christ." -Kylie Whitman

Other Info

  • Having a Sabbath day set aside as a family doesn't always mean being together the whole time--aloneness with the Lord can very much be a part of that time.
    ‍
  • In preparing for Sabbath, have an openness, a heart ready to be led, a curiosity for what the Lord has for you.
    ‍
  • Develop Sabbath choreography (as discussed in The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan)
    ‍
  • Make a list of what is life giving and what is not.

  • Factory Coffee recommendation!
