24/6: A Prescription for a Healthier, Happier Life now available!

“Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.”
Sounds nice, but how do we find rest in a 24/7 world? Just as the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt, we have become slaves to technology. Our technological tools allow 24-hour productivity and connectivity, give us more control, and subtly enslave us to busyness itself. Sabbath is about restraint—intentionally not doing everything all the time just because we can.

The Sabbath is about letting go of the controls one day a week and letting God be God. So how do we do it?
