Sabbath & Surrender: Living From Your Beloved-ness with Rev. Blaine Keene

00:00

52:21

What if rest wasn’t a reward but a way of life? In this episode, we’re joined by Blaine Keene—pastor of Journey Community Church in Plain City, Ohio—for a conversation about Sabbath not as obligation, but invitation. Blaine shares how the practice of rest and the posture of surrender are deeply connected to our identity as the beloved of God.

Together, we explore what it means to live from our beloved-ness instead of for our worth, how Sabbath disrupts our cultural obsession with productivity, and why surrender may be the bravest form of trust.

This episode is for anyone tired of hustle and hungry for wholeness.
