“The Sabbath is the greatest gift from God outside of Jesus Himself.” - Dr. Ruth Haley Barton

The practice of the Sabbath has received quite a lot of attention in recent years and if you’re interested in learning more, today’s conversation will be a perfect compliment to your journey.

On this edition of the podcast, Michael welcomes Dr. Ruth Haley Barton to the conversation. Ruth is an author, spiritual director, teacher, and founder of Transforming Center in Wheaton, Illinois.

In October, Ruth’s book, “Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest: From Sabbath to Sabbatical and Back Again” was released to ground us in God's intentions in giving us the gift of the Sabbath, providing practical steps for embedding sabbath rhythms in our lives. And as a result of today’s conversation, we hope you learn how to think about Sabbath as a gift and that Sabbath helps us live in our true identity.

Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over.
