Change can be difficult. Sometimes the older I get, the less I need to learn…and the more I need to unlearn. Habits I’ve picked up. Methods for how I do things. Hmm…that can’t be just me. Do you ever feel this way?

Turns out, we’re not the only ones needing to unlearn a thing or two. Join Stacy for a look at Exodus 16 when God re-introduces the Sabbath as we continue our "Summer of Sabbath" series.

Do you ever feel like you just need permission to stop? To stop from the constant day-in and day-out of life. To stop from the tyranny of the urgent and the sensory overload of life. To stop from the stress, the woes, the fears, the labor. Permission granted.

Yes, when it comes to Sabbath, we not only have permission to stop, but a responsibility to do so. Our bodies need it, and our souls do too. Join Stacy in Genesis 2 as she chats about how God modeled the permission and the purpose of a “Holy Stop.”

Here’s a small excerpt: "So, how do we stop? Well, the Word doesn’t tell us how He stopped in Genesis 2; it just says He did stop. He said, “Enough is enough,” and He stopped.”

I love a good origin story. There’s just something about beginnings, right? Sabbath might be one of the greatest origin stories of all time. Woven into the fabric of creation itself, it doesn’t get much more “beginning” than that.

Yet, I found when it came to practicing Sabbath, I really didn’t have a good starting place. You too? Let’s change that. Join me as we chat through my Sabbath origin story and Mark 2:27. Together, we’ll start our “Summer of Sabbath” by stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping.

Here’s a small excerpt: "Because it’s not about what you can’t do. It’s about what you don’t have to do. And that sounds pretty perfect.”
