Finding Sabbath Rest in Hustle Culture with Dana Schaub, RDN

podcast Mar 18, 2025

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show Kasey interviews registered dietitian Dana Shaub about the nuances of taking sabbath rest in a culture that idolizes productivity. Sharing from her own personal experience and from that of working with clients 1:1, Dana dives into the why behind taking sabbath and the practical ways we can move towards Sabbath rest. 

In This Episode We Discuss:

  1. The cost of idolizing productivity
  2. What God says about sabbath and whether it is relevant today
  3. 3 action steps to move forward in finding sabbath rest

Dana encourages us to prayerfully consider the Lord’s words through the prophet Isaiah when he commanded the Israelites to “Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” in Isaiah 46:10.  As you meditate on this verse and listen to this episode we hope it aids you in entering the sabbath rest reserved for you as a child of God.
