What does it mean to “remember the Sabbath” when your life has held seasons of deep spiritual belonging… and seasons where that belonging feels harder to find?

In this episode, I return to the Third Commandment through the lens of my childhood Catechism, the rhythm of Deuteronomy 6, and the Acts‑shaped community Kris and I once lived in. I share how The Experience — a small, relational, creative “church within a church” — shaped our understanding of worship, participation, and belonging. And I reflect on the ache that’s remained in the years since.

If you’ve ever longed for a spiritual home, or wondered why certain seasons of faith stay with you long after they end, this episode is for you.
