What does Sabbath actually look like in a busy family with seven kids?

In this episode, we open the door to our home and walk you through what a typical Sabbath looks like for our family—from Friday night candlelight dinners to slow mornings, donuts by the fire, and quiet afternoons that restore our souls.

This week, we found ourselves crawling across the finish line to Sabbath.

After a week of sickness, long nights, and full schedules, Sabbath felt like a deep exhale—a gift we desperately needed.

Instead of teaching a step-by-step system, this episode is all about painting the picture.

We’re inviting you into our real-life rhythm of Sabbath—not because we do it perfectly, but because it has become one of the most life-giving practices in our home.

• What Sabbath actually looks like in our home (from start to finish)
• How we create a rhythm of rest, delight, and connection
• Simple boundaries that protect our Sabbath (without making it feel rigid)
• Why Sabbath looks different every week—and how we lean into that
• How we prioritize time for marriage, family, and rest
• The role of food, fun, and delight in our Sabbath rhythm
• Why Sabbath has become the most restorative part of our week

We’re not sharing this as experts.

We’re sharing this as a family who has practiced Sabbath for years and has seen firsthand how it transforms not just one day—but the entire week.

Our hope is that this episode helps you begin to envision what Sabbath could look like for your family.

Set aside a few hours this week and simply ask:
