#57 Living the Sabbath Way with Travis West

<p><strong>Sabbath …</strong> One of the most precious gifts that God gave to all of creation at the beginning of time. Yet, one that is misunderstood or completely missing in our lives today. </p><p>It’s a gift that our world--with its incessant speed, exhaustion, search for meaning and connection, needs now more than ever. Yet, a topic surrounded by controversy and conflicting perspectives. Many of us have put it on the shelf. </p><p>But something inside keeps saying, “There’s a gift here that we’re missing.” </p><p>That’s why I’m so excited about this conversation with author and seminary professor, Travis West, about his new book <em>The Sabbath Way: Making Room for Rest, Connection, and Delight. </em>  </p><p>Listen in and receive not just a day off … but a way of living that will shape your work, identity, community--and a vital key to the shalom you long to bring to the world. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.travis-west.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Travis-West.com </a>to find more information about Travis, the sabbath, and slowing your life down to the speed of love.</li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sabbath-Way-Making-Connection-Delight/dp/1496476514/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2OT6U9BROKV47&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4ocjp3gfGcslVxdFApL6lA.cKfZ7PcJq-jZhm9eNH-0IUxnnRUsoaEJrZ8NI23jKwA&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+sabbath+way+travis+west&qid=1776780249&sprefix=the+sabbath+way%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Sabbath Way: Making Room for Rest, Connection, and Delight</a> by Travis West.
