Our People

Peter White is the abbot of the Sabbath Life.

For the past 15 years, his ministry contexts have included the local church, campus ministry, the non-profit sector, and the corporate world. He knows firsthand the joys, demands, stresses, and weirdness when you rely on a paycheck from a church.

He believes in the power of story in community as the place where we find healing and freedom and meaning—especially in the story of God in Jesus.

He believes that serving in ministry should make us more human, not less.

He created the Sabbath Life out of a need to slow down, find sustainable rhythms, and experience freedom from the constant pressure of being busy all the time.
