This episode is a heartfelt invitation to trade hustle for holy rest. Sabbath isn’t a rigid rule—it’s a gift from God that reorders our lives around His presence. As we head into a busy season, Jamaiah shares how practicing Sabbath has transformed her home, her work rhythms, and her soul.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why Sabbath is a gift and a command (not a reward you “earn”)
• The difference between self-care and Sabbath-care (inward vs. upward & outward)
• How rest forms trust: pausing even when you’re “in the flow”
• Practical ways to make Sabbath realistic in a modern schedule
• A gentle challenge to put God—not productivity—at the center

The 3-Part Sabbath Rhythm (Simple + Doable)

1. Prepare – Plan your week to make space (meals, dishes, errands done ahead).
2. Protect – Guard the time with clear boundaries and loving “no’s.”
3. Delight – Fill the day with worship, Scripture, unhurried conversation, laughter, candlelight, and beauty.

Scriptures to Meditate On

• Genesis 2:2–3 — God finished His work and rested.
• Exodus 20:8–10 — “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”
• Mark 2:27 — “Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
• Hebrews 4:9–10 — A Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
• Isaiah 58:13–14 — Call the Sabbath a delight and find your joy in the Lord.

Big Takeaways

• Sabbath is not a productivity hack; it’s a holy rhythm that forms you.
• Rest isn’t only pausing what drains you—sometimes it’s pausing what delights you to keep God first.
• You’ll often get more done in six days with God than seven without Him.

This episode is a sober, loving call to self-examination. If you’ve ever equated comfort with God’s approval, Amos reminds us: the Day of the Lord is light for those walking in His ways—and darkness for those who’ve lost the plot. We talk idolatry, justice, “golden age” delusions, and how to return to first love with humility and integrity.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why longing for “the Day of the Lord” without living set apart is dangerous (Amos 5:18–20)
• The difference between worship God receives and worship He rejects (Amos 5:21–23)
• God’s demand: justice like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream (Amos 5:24)
• A word to the comfortable: prosperity without mercy leads to exile (Amos 6:3–7)
• Cultural critique: influence, platforms, and the poor—how we’ve “lost the plot”
• A simple four-step pattern for repentance: Reveal, Repent, Renounce, Replace

Scripture to Meditate On

• Amos 5:18–27 — The Day of the Lord; rejected worship; justice & righteousness
• Amos 6:3–7 — Woe to the complacent and comfortable
• Amos 8:11–13 — A famine of hearing the word of the Lord
• Micah 6:8 — Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly
• James 1:27 — Pure religion: care for the vulnerable, keep unstained from the world
• Matthew 7:21–23 — Not everyone who says “Lord, Lord…”

Ancient Self-Care Practice (Doable This Week)

The 4 R’s of Repentance

1. Reveal – Name where you’ve drifted (idols, apathy, self-promotion).
2. Repent – Ask for mercy and a clean heart.
3. Renounce – Break agreement with pride, greed, and performative religion.
4. Replace – Practice justice and mercy in concrete ways (give, serve, reconcile).

Reflection Prompts

• Where have I confused applause with approval from God?
• What “good things” (comfort, brand, growth) have become functional idols?
• How can I let justice “roll” through my platform, budget, and calendar this week?

This episode is a gentle but honest nudge for anyone who’s starting to confuse the work with their worth. Your identity is not in your “calling,” your title, or your productivity. It’s in Christ alone.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, overlooked, or tempted to accelerate God’s vision for your life, I pray this conversation helps you pause, reset, and realign with the truth: You are already enough in Him.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why your assignment is not your identity
• How comparison and competition can distort your calling
• A personal story of wrestling with feeling “behind” in God’s plan
• Why God’s timing is always different from our own
• How to anchor yourself in sonship, not striving

Scripture to Meditate On

• 2 Corinthians 9:6–11 — “Whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”
• Luke 10:38–42 — The story of Mary and Martha (choosing to sit at Jesus’ feet)
• Romans 8:15 — “The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.”

Complimentary Gift for Your Stay

Bonus Treat: Limoncello Coffee Recipe
Because rest also tastes like something sweet, here’s my recipe for the iced lemoncello coffee I perfected on Sabbath:

What you need:

• 1 chocolate Nespresso capsule
• 1 tsp lemon curd (stir into the hot coffee, then chill overnight)

Next-day cold foam magic:

• Heavy cream
• Splash of lemon extract
• Splash of vanilla extract
• Vanilla creamer
• Whip with a hand mixer until creamy but still pourable

To serve:

1. Drizzle your glass with white chocolate
2. Add crushed ice + chilled coffee
3. Pour vanilla creamer to taste
4. Top with cold foam, lemon zest, and a sprinkle of cinnamon

✨ Sip slowly and let God remind you: You are already enough.
