Christians Who Keep The Sabbath

What happens when a Christian family decides to actually keep the Sabbath?

Does it bring freedom—or legalism? Does it strengthen a marriage and family—or create more rules? And what happens to your children when they grow up with an entire day every week set apart for God?

For more than 20 years, our family has lived the Sabbath—not as a Jewish tradition, and not as a way to earn salvation, but as Christians who came to believe that this forgotten commandment was actually a gift from God.

And looking back after two decades, we can see something we never could have fully understood when we started: the Sabbath transformed our family.

In this very personal episode, we pull back the curtain on what Sabbath has actually looked like in our home—the traditions, the memories, the challenges, the lessons we learned, and the unexpected ways one day each week helped shape our marriage, our children, and our relationship with God.

If you’ve ever wondered why Christians would keep the Sabbath, whether it still matters today, or what it could actually look like for your own family, this conversation may completely change the way you see the seventh day.

This isn’t just a teaching about the Sabbath.

It’s the story of what happened when our family decided to live it.
