Sabbath: Play Louder, Grip Looser

This week, Brian highlighted that in adulthood, we often forget how to simply play. Life becomes a series of "got to" tasks, leaving little room for the "get to" joys that once defined us. This is where the biblical concept of Sabbath becomes crucial. He reminded us that the commandment to rest is right there alongside "don't lie" and "don't murder." God designed us for a rhythm of work and rest. Resting isn't a sign of laziness; it's an act of faith, trusting that God will hold things together even when we let go of our control for a day.

He encouraged us to reclaim our inner child, not just for our own well-being but for the sake of our families and the world around us. By giving ourselves permission to play, we restore our souls, loosen our grip on control, and embody the full life that Jesus promised.
