New Episodes Every Tuesday
About the Embodied Holiness Podcast
Jesus taught us that holiness can become a reality in the everyday moments and events of our lives. So if we take Jesus seriously, what would it look like to embody holiness on a chaotic Tuesday morning? What would it sound like to embody holiness when we're running late or having a stressful conversation with our spouse?
In each episode, we tackle a different everyday topic and talk about the specific challenges that come with embodying holiness in that aspect of life. We share resources we've found helpful to our own spiritual journeys and our stories of growth and failure. We'll also be joined by special guests from time to time. If you're interested in learning how to grow in holiness, you're in the right place. Thanks for joining us on the journey!

![Perhaps, like me, you’ve had a misinformed or malformed image or definition of Sabbath. Growing up I wasn’t taught about it, so I filled in the gaps of what it meant from bits and pieces I heard from others. These were my conclusions:
“Sabbath is outdated so I can ignore it.
Sabbath means you can’t…
…have fun…
…play…
…or enjoy yourself.
That’s dumb.
Sabbath, shmabbath.”
As an adult who has been notified by the Spirit through seasons of emotional, physical, and spiritual unrest of my deep need for rest, I’ve been seeking the right understanding of what God meant by telling his people to rest regularly — more specifically, to rest in Him.
Here are a couple of thoughts from Richard Foster for you to ponder:
“[Through rest] we let go of the vain images of ourselves in charge of everything and everybody. Slowly, we loosen our grip on all those projects that to us seem so significant. Gently, we become more focused and simplified. Joyfully, we receive the nourishment of heavenly manna.”
“Jesus needed frequent retreat and solitude to do his work. Yet somehow we think we can do without what he deemed essential.”
Practicing sabbath is about taking delight in things that bring rest to you body, mind and soul. It’s about enjoying this life in the presence of God. It’s about letting go and remembering that you are not and do not have to grab and cling to control of everything.
Let go.
Rest in the work Christ has done on your behalf.
You do not have to enslave yourself to constant production or activity. You get to rest in the LORD.
And you get to work in the presence of the Lord remembering that you are not responsible for every outcome.
What a gift of grace. May you find your rest today.
