MTP 67: “And I Will Give You Rest”: Finding Your True Identity in Jesus through Sabbath Keeping, Roundtable Part 2
Episode 67
This episode is part 2 of our roundtable discussion with Christian professors from around the country. We explore themes of Sabbath rest and identity in Christ, and professors share personal stories and practical ways to keep Jesus at the center of academic life and our identity.
Main Takeaways
- Practicing Sabbath is vital to resisting the pressure to overwork and to reorient identity around Jesus.
- A Christian worldview informs not just professional work but all of life—relationships, attitudes, and service.
- Professors can openly identify as Christians in class while tactfully building relationships with students.
- Encouraging and mentoring students often begins with simply making faith known early in the semester.
- Avoiding work-based identity requires intentional rest, prayer, and seeing worth in how God sees us.
- New faculty outreach, such as gift bags and welcome luncheons, can be strategic entry points for ministry.
