170. Making Sabbath Rest a Priority (with Bob & Linda Lotich)

Published: May 17, 2022, 4 p.m.

\u201cStart where you are.\u201d Such a short statement but it has such a huge impact.

In this episode of\xa0The Crystal Paine Show, Bob and Linda Lotich, authors of their new book\xa0Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact,\xa0talk about how they\u2019ve made Sabbath a priority in their home and lives and how to just start where you are.

In this age of busyness when we all have a lot on our plates, is Sabbath rest even possible? If so, what would that look like? We delve into what it looks like for Bob & Linda and how we all can find ways to practice it in our own lives \u2014 even if we have a very full schedule.

We also talk about how this practice is more about our hearts and releasing our sense of control and micromanaging our lives and instead resting in Jesus.

Bob and Linda share their experiences, what they\u2019ve learned, how this practice has deeply impacted them, and struggles they have encountered along the way. I hope this episode inspires you with ideas for how you, too, can implement a regular practice of Sabbath in your own life and what that might look like for you.
