How Busy Leaders Can Discover True Sabbath Rest - Ruth Haley Barton - 28 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry

- Christianity
There is something special, something powerful, something beautiful about the concept of Sabbath rest. And yet, as pastors and ministry leaders, it often feels just outside of our grasp. It's something we're happy to teach about and share with others, but something that is challenging for us to experience fully in our own lives. In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Ruth Haley Barton, founder of the Transforming Center, and author of numerous books, including Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership, Sacred Rhythms, and her latest, Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest. Together, Ruth and Jason explore the spiritual reality of rhythm in our lives, and look at the idea of Sabbath in a way that is accessible for pastors and ministry leaders just like you.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Ruth Haley Barton on the relationship between goodness and rhythm: "The goodness is in the rhythm… the Sabbath is one of the main ways that God has given to us to actually establish sane rhythms of work and rest"
Ruth Haley Barton on the danger of getting out of a Sabbath rhythm: "When we do get out of rhythm, we are functioning beyond human limits. And when that happens, the human person can't sustain a life of living beyond human limits. We can't tolerate it in the body, but also not in the mind, mentally, we're not as fresh and clear. And then in the soul, we get very, very out of touch with God in the depths of our being and out of touch with who we are in God, and what God is calling us to do. And so it can be quite dangerous for a person to live for very long outside of the human, God-ordained rhythms that we've been created to live within."
