This April riff may become a series.  Why should we stop, rest, or sabbath? Whatever you might call it or know it to be, I have found it is one of the most rewarding and (currently) difficult habits to form.  "Easy everywhere" technology as described by Andy Crouch actually runs huge interference on the practice of stopping.  We need lots of motivation to overcome what is coming against our rest. Today's episode is all about 10 reasons I think you should stop and seriously consider stopping what you are doing for 24 hours a week.  I hope you find it helpful. Let's get our rest on! Consider some of the resources I mention in this episode... Wayne Muller's Sabbath  John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and Rich Villodas' The Deeply Formed Life and The BEMA Podcast ...for more Sabbath inspiration.

This episode wraps Women's History Month, 2022.  Thanks for listening!  Look back at earlier episodes for more learning from the lives and stories of women.

Mirna is a great friend and the top recommendation of for Women's History Month 2022.  She and her husband have kept doing the hard work of counseling and looking at their wounds.  She is finding that each season of pain and "heart work" sets us up for the next challenge, and deeply grounds us in God, friends, and truth.  Mirna's "Daily Practices That Help Ground Me": https://bit.ly/3HMS66d  PDF of "Taking in the Good" by Rick Hanson, referred to in this episode: https://bit.ly/3674C36 Connect with more Man in Many Roles Content: Email: [email protected] Website: https://manyroles.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/maninmanyroles IG: https://instagram.com/maninmanyroles Support/donate: https://anchor.fm/maninmanyroles --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/maninmanyroles/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/maninmanyroles/support

This conversation with Eric Golden, facilitator and Social-Emotional coach, was a gem.  He is a black man, a father, and a professional facilitator, among his many roles.  He shares so many compelling ideas about respecting our children as we raise them, control, boundaries, and how to do the hard work of deconstructing stories and roles we were born into.  I hope you value this podcast as much as I enjoyed recording it... whew!
