Do you take a Sabbath? Weekly? A couple times a month? A yearly extended Sabbath? A few half-days here and there?
I ask because it seems to be coming up a LOT in conversation these days. I’ve seen bloggers write about it, pastors speak about it, and all kinds of people posting about it on social media.
The other day, I received two emails within less than an hour about taking a Sabbath. Both had very different takes.
One I loved. The other I agreed with two of her three points. The third point I strongly disagreed with!
Then I recorded this…
What is your take on the Sabbath? Do you practice it? How? What’s the benefit?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
NOTE: Here’s the blog post I mention in the video.
Really enjoyed your video and thoughts on Sabbath. It’s funny because I blogged about Sabbath this week too, particularly because we are getting ready for a two week vacation. It’s not a very long post if you want to check it out, I’d love to know what you think.

I do plan to check personal email occasionally while we travel but work email? No way!
Thanks for your ministry and resources. I enjoy following you.
Oh the elusive sabbath rest…I just listened to Emily’s podcast last week where she discusses “keeping” the sabbath rather than “taking” the Sabbath. This was a ‘take’ I hadn’t heard before. ;). Thanks for keeping the Sabbath in front of us and giving us some tools to protect it.

Hey Robin. I love that idea of “keeping” the Sabbath. Thanks for pointing me toward Emily’s podcast. I’ll have to check it out.
