Ceasing from Stress

Lent 2026, Week 1; Episode 1

What if Lent is an invitation to let go of what drains us? In this episode of Creative Thinking, Kim Thomas begins our series on Sabbath rhythms, exploring the practice of ceasing from stress. We learn that making room for rest begins with the courageous step of refusing to let pressure define our lives.

Kim’s Notes:

“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

“We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything.”
Blaise Pascal

“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.”
Etty Hillesum
