We're continuing our book club series on The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, and this week we're diving into Part Three — the how of living an unhurried life. After covering silence and solitude last episode, today we go deep on one of the most underrated and underused spiritual practices in Christian spaces: the Sabbath.

But first — Tatum shares a raw and beautiful testimony from her quiet time this week, a moment on the floor in her daughter's room that turned into a soul-restoring encounter with the Father. She also gets real about a revelation she received for Christian entrepreneurs: the difference between your working relationship with God and your personal relationship with Him — and why both matter.

In This Episode

• Testimony: What happened when Tatum lay on the floor, didn't know what to pray, and started speaking in tongues — and why she bawled her eyes out
• The working relationship vs. the personal relationship with God — a word for veteran Christian entrepreneurs who have the rhythm down but may be missing the closeness
• The YouTube plan she shelved — and why she chose the Father over the plan
• What is the Sabbath? The Hebrew meaning of Shabbat (to stop) and why God built this rhythm into the DNA of creation
• Desire, restlessness, and the digital age — how advertising monetizes our restlessness and why only God can satisfy infinite desire
• What happens to your mind, body, and soul when you fight the Sabbath rhythm — including what happened in France when they tried a 10-day work week
• The statistics: Why Seventh-Day Adventists live 10 years longer than the average American
• Two lists: Restfulness vs. Relentlessness — which one describes your life right now?
• Practical tips for busy bodies who struggle with the "in-between" of rest — including how Tatum's Friday grocery habit accidentally created a more restful weekend
• What the Sabbath actually looks like — the author's family practice and how to find what works for yours
• Working from rest, not for rest — and why the Sabbath is the climax of the week, not just a break in it
• Next episode: Simplicity

Key Quote"The Sabbath isn't just a 24-hour time slot in your weekly schedule. It's a spirit of restfulness that goes with you throughout your week. A way of living with ease, gratitude, appreciation, peace, and prayer. A way of working from rest, not for rest, with nothing to prove. A way of bearing fruit from abiding and not ambition." — John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of HurryTatum's Word for Christian Entrepreneurs

As you grow in doing business God's way, don't let the working relationship replace the personal one. You can be in rhythm with God in your business and still have a void in your closeness to Him as His daughter. Tend to both. The business meetings with God matter — and so does just lying at His feet with nothing to say.
