Shalom ,

What if the thing we’re missing most right now…
isn’t more effort — but more rest?

As we step into a new season - 2026, I’ve felt a very clear nudge on my heart: to stop.
Not quit. Not disengage.
But to intentionally stop — and enjoy it.

So I’m doing something new this year.

For the next four weeks, I’m personally committing to a Friday–Saturday Sabbath — a set-apart time to rest, worship, unplug, and realign my heart with God’s rhythm.

And I want to invite you into this conversation with me. 

My first Sabbath was this past Saturday. I hid my phone, hid the Ipad and set my computer away. I had meals ready, books to read ready, and then it was time to just relax.

I did have a little challenge as I knew we had a lot going on in the Inner Circle, as so many people were joining and that always creates excitement. But I determined, as Daniel - to set my mind - on this (meaning the Sabbath). And I stuck to it.

Why Sabbath — and why now?

We’re tired.
Not just physically — but mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

We live in a world of endless noise, ceaseless hurry, constant notifications, and the subtle pressure to always be on. And yet… peace feels harder than ever to find.

The Sabbath isn’t a rule.
It’s a gift.

God built rest into creation itself — not because He needed it, but because we do.
Sabbath reminds us that:

Our work is not our worth

Our screens are not our sanctuary

Our pace is not our purpose

In stopping, we begin to see clearly again.

A personal challenge (and invitation)

For the next month, I’m choosing to:

Set aside a clear Sabbath window

Power down unnecessary screens

Prepare ahead so rest is actually restful

Be present with God, family, gratitude, and joy

Not out of obligation — but out of trust.
And honestly? Out of desire.

I want to enjoy Sabbath — not perform it.

And I’m curious what God might do in just four weeks if we give Him our stillness.

What could change in your:

Peace of mind?

Sleep?

Spiritual clarity?

Relationships?

Joy?

I made a video for you 🎥

I just released a new YouTube video where I share:

Why Sabbath is so often misunderstood

The real excuses that keep us from resting (and how to gently dismantle them)

The surprising physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of Sabbath

A simple, practical way to try Sabbath for one month

And why this is about freedom — not guilt

(I really encourage you to watch — it’s one of the most meaningful messages I’ve shared in a long time.)

Even if you can’t watch right now, bookmark it. Come back to it when you have a quiet moment. I believe it could truly bless you.

One simple invitation

You don’t have to do this perfectly.
You don’t have to copy my schedule.
You don’t have to “get it right.”

Just try it.

Choose a day.
Choose a start time.
Choose to stop — and see what happens.

Let’s not rush past the gift God placed right in front of us.

I’d love to hear from you:

Are you willing to try Sabbath for one month?

What day would you choose?

Thank you for being here, for walking this journey with me, and for giving yourself permission to rest.
