This April riff may become a series.  Why should we stop, rest, or sabbath? Whatever you might call it or know it to be, I have found it is one of the most rewarding and (currently) difficult habits to form.  "Easy everywhere" technology as described by Andy Crouch actually runs huge interference on the practice of stopping.  We need lots of motivation to overcome what is coming against our rest.

Today's episode is all about 10 reasons I think you should stop and seriously consider stopping what you are doing for 24 hours a week.  I hope you find it helpful. Let's get our rest on!

Consider some of the resources I mention in this episode...

Wayne Muller's Sabbath 

John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

and Rich Villodas' The Deeply Formed Life

and The BEMA Podcast

...for more Sabbath inspiration.
