Episode notes
God Wants To Dwell With Humanity
- God’s desire to dwell with his people is a running theme from Eden to Revelation.
- Tim traces it from the Garden through the tabernacle, temple, Jesus, the Spirit and finally the new creation in Revelation.
Practice Sabbath Rest Deliberately
- Observe Sabbath as a commanded rhythm for life and rest, not merely an optional habit.
- Becca and Tim describe practical Sabbaths: no work, few screens, walks, reading, games and rescheduling to protect Saturday rest.
Holiness Is Communal Care
- Leviticus frames holiness in community responsibility, not just ritual rules.
- Tim highlights laws about caring for foreigners, sojourners and neighbors as central to holiness.
