In the season two premiere episode, they look at what does it mean to take a Sabbath? In our hurry-up culture, the idea of rest is not frequently viewed favorably.

But what does it mean when we turn to distractions rather than nourishment in downtime?
Journey into this episode to discover how and why you should take a weekly Sabbath.
