Rejoin Kaylene and Gwen for Part 2 of their conversation about Sabbath Keeping. Gwen gets practical, but maybe not in the way you’d expect. In this approach to the practice of Sabbath Keeping you will have permission to struggle with the “how.” You’ll also learn how to set up your family for Sabbath success, and how to create a Sabbath culture in your family and lifestyle.  Sabbath is not just a switch that gets flipped on Sunday, it’s a whole new way of being in the world.

Co-host Kaylene Derksen sits down with Gwen Smith to spend some more time discussing what it means to be a Sabbath keeper. Gwen re-emphasizes God’s intention with Sabbath: to delight over us and His creation. Ask yourself, why does God delight in me? If your answer has something to do with the work you do or what you do for God then listen to this interview for a new and freeing perspective!

Join Steve and Gwen for Part 2 of their interview with Dr. Randy James as he dives into the 4 cornerstones of his functional medicine practice: input, output, recovery, and relationships.   Input: Input definitely has to do with nutrition, but it’s also a lot more than that. Think about what is going into your eyes and ears as well. Output: It’s easy to think of output from a “health” perspective as simply exercise, but it’s also more than that. When it comes to how your body and soul are connected consider what you are putting your time and money towards and find out what “spending vulnerability” means in the podcast. Recovery: Sleep is our most obvious form of recovery, but we were made for much more than just giving our bodies a break. How is your soul resting and what role does sabbath play in a healthy body and soul?  Relationships: In the conventional care of our bodies this aspect of our lives is probably the most consistently ignored or under-examined. It’s important to ask yourself, not only about your physical self but how are you doing with your inner-self? Do you have a good relationship with the voice inside your head? What about your relationship with God or your spouse?  Listen to Part 2 of our episode on the Body-Soul Connection to learn more.    Resources Slow Me Down Lord poem attributed to Orin Crain: View Here https://www.pottersinn.com/slow-me-down-lord-poem   Download a worksheet on defining true life and the 4 cornerstones. https://potters-inn.squarespace.com/s/Questions-from-Dr-James.pdf     Other Books Mentioned The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time by Arianna Huffington https://amzn.to/2T18Ywt

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body” - C.S. Lewis    We invite you to join Steve and Gwen in this two-part interview with Dr. Randy James, a family practice doctor who specializes and is certified in functional medicine. Learn more about the functional medicine approach to well-being and the difference between treating symptoms and treating the body as an integrated whole, which includes the soul. You’ll hear about nutrition of course, but don’t be surprised if you also start hearing about what you watch on TV, scroll through on your smartphone, or the negative self-talk that you hear every day. These ideas all get wrapped together in Dr. James 4 cornerstones: input, output, recovery, and relationships, which you will learn more about in Episode 4.     Resources Awakening as the Beloved poem by Symeon the Theologian: View Here https://www.pottersinn.com/awakening-as-the-beloved-poem   How Is Functional Medicine Different? https://truelifemedicine.com/functional-medicine/   Download a worksheet on defining true life and the 4 cornerstones. https://potters-inn.squarespace.com/s/Questions-from-Dr-James.pdf     Other Books Mentioned An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor https://amzn.to/2UsOmPc
