Author: QB Kids and Families June 1, 2025 Duration: 7:10

In Episode 7, we’re focusing on Practice #7: Sabbath.


What is Sabbath — and how can we practice Sabbath as a family, not just at church but in our week?


This week, we’re discovering why Sabbath is an important practice for us each week— it’s about making the effort to rest in our world. It’s a wonderful thing to practice by slowing down so we can enjoy each other and what God has given us. From going to church to sharing hot chips for lunch to playing games or watching the weekend footy, we’ll hear how families today find fun ways to rest and practice Sabbath.


We’ll talk about:

  • How God even rested when creating the world
  • What Jesus taught his disciples about rest
  • Different ways kids and parents rest and practice Sabbath
  • Fun and practical ideas for Sabbath as a family


Let’s learn how practising Sabbath can become part of your family’s rhythm — something that strengthens your faith and reminds you of who God is each week.

Families Following Jesus is a podcast from QB Kids and Families that recognises the hectic rhythm of family life in Australia. Instead of adding another lengthy commitment, it offers short, focused conversations designed to fit into the school run, the commute, or those moments before practice. The first season, titled Fan the Flame, takes a practical look at the book of Acts. It connects directly with the Queensland Baptists devotional, breaking down seven core practices that defined the early Christian community. Each episode explores one of these historical rhythms, translating ancient wisdom into relatable ideas for modern households. You'll hear straightforward discussions about integrating faith into daily routines, not as another task, but as a natural part of your family's story. This isn't about theoretical theology; it's about tangible steps for walking out your beliefs together, right where you are. Tune in for a dose of grounded encouragement that meets you in the busyness.
