My Grammy always had a list. Honestly, so do I.

This week on Glordinary, we’ll chat about To-Do lists, dough, manna, Sabbath, and how we keep collecting "just one more thing" to do.

The problem is, the list never really ends. And giving up a whole day to Sabbath seems unrealistic with that To-Do list staring back at us.

But what if Sabbath isn't about what you can't do? What if it's about what you don't have to do?

Join me as we revisit Exodus 16, reflect on a gift from my Grammy, and discover that Sabbath was never meant to be another item on the list. Sabbath is a gift from the Gift-Giver Himself.

Maybe it's time to loosen our grip on the list, trust God's provision, and make a To-Don't list instead.

Here’s a small excerpt: "We use Sabbath as a prep day because getting ahead feels safer than trust. Ouch. Safer than trusting there will be enough tomorrow. Enough time. Enough energy. Enough money. Enough supply. Because the list isn't really the problem. The fear underneath the list is."

A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!

I love a good origin story. There’s just something about beginnings, right? Sabbath might be one of the greatest origin stories of all time. Woven into the fabric of creation itself, it doesn’t get much more “beginning” than that.

Yet, I found when it came to practicing Sabbath, I really didn’t have a good starting place. You too? Let’s change that. Join me as we chat through my Sabbath origin story and Mark 2:27. Together, we’ll start our “Summer of Sabbath” by stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping.

Here’s a small excerpt: "Because it’s not about what you can’t do. It’s about what you don’t have to do. And that sounds pretty perfect.”

Two years ago, way back on Episode #15, we talked about shoulder seasons and all the things we carry. This summer, we're revisiting Sabbath with a different question:

What if the issue isn't what we're shouldering? What if it's the pace of what we're shouldering?

After returning from vacation with sunburned shoulders and a few fresh reminders about hurry, I'm reflecting on how easily rush becomes our default—and how differently Jesus seems to move through the world.

In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to walk with Him, work with Him, and watch how He does it. To learn what Eugene Peterson calls "the unforced rhythms of grace."

So if life has felt a little tender lately... If everything feels just a little harder than it should... Episode #126 is for you.

Here’s a small excerpt: "And maybe that's true of more than just sunburned shoulders. Maybe our souls get a little sunburned too. Because sometimes life leaves us a little tender. Not necessarily unable to function. Just stretched. Worn thin. A little more sensitive than usual. A little more burned. A little more reactive than we'd like to admit."
