We cover the difference between the letter and the spirit of the Sabbath, and how legalism can easily creep into church life. There’s practical discussion around digital distractions, the pressures of always being busy, and how to intentionally create space for rest. The conversation also touches on church expectations, removing burdens that keep people from honest connection, and why doing good is central to Sabbath.
