Friends,
I’m really excited to share tomorrow’s new episode of Rhythms & Roots: Living a Formed Life.

Episode 3 is titled “The Sabbath Sprint: Why Rest Is the Secret to Going Farther.”
This one has been stirring in me for a while. Over the past few weeks — between long runs, ministry, and family life — I’ve been reminded that rest isn’t optional. It’s essential. Not just for our bodies, but for our souls.
In The Sabbath Sprint, I explore what it really means to abide from John 15 — to live connected to the Vine — and how Sabbath rest becomes the rhythm that fuels our endurance.
You’ll hear a story from the world of ultrarunning, a breath prayer moment you can practice anywhere, and some practical ways to build a mini-Sabbath rhythm into your week.
🎧 The episode drops tomorrow — Tuesday, October 11th (hopefully!)
Watch for it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen.
Until then, may your pace today be gentle… and your roots deep.
— Donnie
