Welcome to today's podcast on rest, a conversation with author and theologian, A.J. Swoboda. Our conversation stems around the idea of rest and how it is built into the very fabric of God's beautiful creation.

Without giving too much away, here are four of of the nine questions A.J. and I discuss in this podcast.

  1. A.J.'s book is entitled “Subversive Sabbath.” In what ways is Sabbath a subversive practice?

  2. A.J., please share the story of your own experience of discovering and entering
    into the gift of Sabbath.

  3. In your own practice of Sabbath, what have been some of the boundaries you’ve
    observed (the “I won’ts”) and the engagements you’ve enjoyed (the “I wills”)?

  4. How might someone who has an unpredictable weekly work schedule practice Sabbath?
