The Mentor's Table
A place where women gifted to lead and teach can gather around this virtual table to feed our souls. In season one, we'll dig into the nitty gritty parts of surrender and develop muscle memory in our souls to truly let go.
The Mentor's Table
Summer REPLAY "Reframing Resistance to Sabbath"
Confession: I don't love this title. I don't think it accurately portrays this important discussion about sabbath that, honestly, I haven't heard much teaching on anywhere else. A better title would be "What To Do When You Face Resistance (from within or from other people) When You Begin a Sabbath Rhythm." That's a mouthful! Maybe that's why I chose the original title ;-)
Also, tune in for an important announcement at the beginning! <3

Here are some of my favorite resources I turned to when I began my sabbath rhythm: (may contain affiliate links)
BOOKS
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. This is where sabbath all began for me! The book covers many spiritual disciplines, not just sabbath. It's my favorite gateway into making spiritual disciplines a life rhythm.
Subversive Sabbath by A.J. Swoboda | This book has some fantastic teachings about sabbath, and it's a classic "eat the meat and spit out the bones" book. I suggest inviting the Spirit to guide you with discernment as you read.
The Invitation to a Journey by M. Robert Mulholland Jr. | This is a fantastic starting point as well, beginning with establishing why spiritual disciplines are so foundational to living your best life. I personally plan to revisit this one again soon.
PODCASTS
Sabbath 01: Stop from Rule of Life Podcast. This is the first in a series of four teachings that complements practicingtheway.org's free sabbath discipleship curriculum. Highly recommend the doing the discipleship series with a small group and complementing it with listening to this podcast series.
Sabbath (ft. Tyler Staton) | Unforced Rhythms of Grace from the John Mark Comer Teachings podcast. There are many more JMC teachings about sabbath in this podcast playlist. When I need a refresher as to why we sabbath, this podcast is where I go for inspiration and motivation to get me back on track.
