Don't Mom Alone Podcast Craving Peace? How Sabbath and Nature Can Restore Your Soul :: Eryn Lynum [Ep 524]

Today Eryn Lynum joins me to share about the beautiful connection between nature and rest. Sabbath has become such a hot topic right now but Eryn had to learn from age 14 how to rest like her life depended on it when she was diagnosed with Addison's disease. She is now a homeschooling mom of four, a master naturalist, author, and business owner. Her family is committed to their family values and weekly sabbath amid a very full life. She reminds us of some deep ancient truths that God created us to fully live and gives us tools to find new rhythms. We explore:
- How Jesus taught through nature
- The meaning of “Shabbat” — to stop and to delight
- How to build in Selah pauses (even if you only have 5 minutes!)
- God meant for the sabbath to be a celebration, not a stuffy rule following day
- Rest is the perfection of vital activity- what is vital in this season for your family
