The discussion includes the origin of Sabbath, why we feel so much guilt concerning Sabbath, and why God gave us Sabbath in the first place. Gwen also introduces her 4 Pillars of Sabbath:   Rhythm - Sabbath is God\u2019s built-in way of giving us rhythm in our lives instead of just running full-steam continuously.   Protection - In a sense, Sabbath protects us from ourselves and the violence that we inflict on ourselves, driving ourselves to work harder and harder. Sabbath gives us rest.   Joy, Delight, and Celebration - Sabbath is a blessed and holy day, when God rests in His creation and He delights and celebrates in you.   Belovedness - Taken altogether, Sabbath is a reminder that we are beloved by a good and gracious God who truly cares for us and our well-being.   &amp;nbsp; RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE PODCAST Soul Care Institute program information The 4 Pillars of Sabbath Drawing \u201cTrough\u201d poem by Judy Sorum Brown View here.
