Ep. 192 : The Power of a Family Sabbath with Joy Tanner

These days, it’s hard to make a distinction between work days and weekends. Many working moms and dads find their weekends overflowing with chores and to-dos, and even recreation that exhausts them, leaving them weary.

One of the ten commandments is to “remember the Sabbath and keep it holy” but we tend to ignore this need to rest. Jesus said the Sabbath was a gift that God gave to us, but even I am not very good at receiving that gift.

Joy Tanner and her family has been doing a great job at incorporating a regular Sabbath practice in their life. Here’s what it looks like to celebrate the Sabbath day with your family and what it can do for your household.
