Formation Dig: Sabbath for the Whole Household

The Trailhead. June 13, 2025

🔵 Formation Dig: Sabbath for the Whole Household
Exodus 20:10 – “But the seventh day is a sabbath... On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter...”

The Sabbath command wasn’t just about rest—it was a radical act of liberation. In a world that ran on nonstop labor, God told His people to stop… together.

Today’s 7–8 minute Formation Dig reflects on how Sabbath was designed not as a private spiritual habit, but as a family rhythm—a weekly act of resistance that formed a slower, freer people.

If you're wondering how your home can practice something deeper than exhaustion and screens, this short reflection is for you.
