The Chosen - Shabbat

We're talking about the miniseries "The Chosen" for the third week now. Today we're talking about Episode 2. And so much of Episode 2 revolves around the idea of Shabbat (what we call the Sabbath). There's so much in this episode to talk about, so I hope you enjoy it. In part, Brenden Taylor and myself will be talking about:

1. How we've typically understood "Sabbath" in Christian circles.

2. What Shabbat really means and why it's such an important event in Jewish and Christian circles.

3. What a Shabbat meal looked like.

4. The three (really 4) Shabbat meals of Episode 2 and how they all work together to show us what Shabbat should be and what it most definitely should NOT be.

5. How all of this speaks to our context today.

6. And much, much more!
