In hard weeks like this one has been for me, I am reminded how far I&#39;ve come from the burned-out, exhausted mom I was 5 years ago. I also am reminded how easy it is to slip back into that joyless space. How easy it is to pursue the to-do list instead of rest in the gift of Sabbath. Today&#39;s prayer is for the joyless mom who loves her people, but struggles to love her everyday life. The mom who is struggling to find the joy because she is just so tired.

Ep 25: What Sabbath Teaches Us about Mom Guilt & Soul Care

Rest doesn&#39;t have to be a four-letter word. If you feel like you&#39;re going to break from exhaustion, let me invite you to Simply Sabbath, a podcast for the burnt-out Christian mom, who longs to get back to the core of who she is and reclaim the deep joy and stabilizing peace Jesus has for her in her everyday-- without the mom guilt that often accompanies self-care practices.
Each week, we&#39;ll dive into all things sabbath. You&#39;ll hear some of the host&#39;s thoughts on Sabbath and the things she has learned over the past few years, but more importantly, you&#39;ll get to meet other women who are practicing Sabbath as well and learn what it looks like in their lives. Our conversations will center around God&#39;s original design for the week and how that design can be implemented in a culture that is so enslaved to hustle and hurry. 
What we are talking about in this podcast is not just another thing to add to your to-do list. This is not another expectation for you to live up to. It is a gift outstretched from the hand of your creator. An invitation to press pause on walking alongside Jesus in all the things he&#39;s called you to do. And instead, sit down across from him and just be with him. 
It is an invitation to Simply Sabbath.
