Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership 
  • "The Poetry of Sabbath" with pastor and poet Drew Jackson on how the practice of sabbath itself can be a critique of a culture that does not value human beings, and how sabbath helps us to resist that culture. 
  • "Sabbath as Resistance" with author Cole Arthur Riley on whether sabbath is just for the privileged few. Cole shares how she experiences rest in honor of her ancestors who were not allowed to do so, and the tender places sabbath can take us.
  • "The Power of Unplugging" with author and filmmaker Tiffany Shlain on how our technology impacts our ability to truly rest, why a “tech Shabbat” has been a lifeline for Tiffany, and the nitty gritty details of how Tiffany goes completely screen-free for 24 hours each week. 
  • "Sharing Sabbath Presence Within Families" with Kyle and Charity McClure, parents to three school-aged children who began carving out a sabbath practice when their kids were all very small. In this conversation they share how they reframed their posture towards the day in a season where life at home was anything but restful, how sabbath has shaped what they look for in a church and the ways in which it allows them to give their kids a different kind of presence on that day.  ​
