Ep 111: Practicing Sabbath With Little K...

Jeremy + Audrey Roloff
About this episode

Why do you practice Sabbath? How do you do it with little kids? 🤔 

If you have followed us since before we had kids, you know Sabbath is a big part of our values + something we talk about often. It’s a practice we align with + since having kids, it has evolved but the goal remains the same: to return to the present moment. 

Sabbath isn’t a cool idea. It is a necessity and a natural law of reality. We need it! Yes, it is a choice, but if you want to be healthy + aligned with how God created you, you must Sabbath. ♥️ 

In this episode we answer the biggest questions we get asked about Sabbath – why we do it, the importance of it, ways we practiced Sabbath before kids, and ways we do it now that we have little kids. 

GIVEAWAY! 🥳 We’re giving away “These Are The Days” sweatshirts. Listen to the end of the episode to hear more about how you can enter!!
