After 20 years of youth ministry, my son-in-law recently completed a much-needed, four-month sabbatical. It’s encouraging to see that, more and more, both employees and their employers are valuing the soul-satisfying, replenishing healing that comes with taking a break from your normal routine.

God invites us to a weekly Sabbath, a one-day rest. My guest today agrees that Sabbath is important—and she says that soup is one simple way that busy women can make a weekly sabbatical a practical possibility.

Kathi Lipp is the Publishers Weekly Bestselling Author of over 20 books, including Sabbath Soup, Clutter Free, and The Accidental Homesteader. She is also a national speaker and podcast host. Kathi and her husband, Roger, ran away to the mountains of northern California, where they grow their own food together and turn it into delicious meals!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The practical benefits of a Sabbath
• How God invites us to rest
• Why soup is the best meal for the Sabbath
• And so much more…

This episode is full of great tips for incorporating a weekly Sabbath into your routine!

What role does prayer play in your marriage? For us, prayer has been a profoundly positive force in our lives—both as individuals and as a couple. When it comes to strengthening your marriage, there are many tools and strategies to explore, but prayer is one you simply can’t overlook. It’s a powerful way to invite God into your relationship and deepen your connection with one another.

This is an extra special episode for us, because we have two new books on prayer coming out this week: 199 Prayers for My Wife and 199 Prayers for My Husband.

This is a passion project we’ve had in the works for a while, and we’re so thrilled to finally share it with you! These books are a daily guide for lifting your spouse in prayer, and they will be released on January 29th.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• A practical definition of prayer
• How God uses prayer to help both you and your spouse grow
• Why prayer can transform your marriage
• And much more!

We are covering all things prayer in this conversation and we are so excited to share these new resources with you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The five rhythms of marriage
• How small acts of service can have a big impact
• The importance of pursuing adventure
