In this episode, I sit down with my friend Stacie Loughrin, a homeschooling mom of six, who has such a heart for helping families grow in their faith. Stacie shares her journey of discovering the biblical feasts during a hard season in 2020, and how those rhythms completely transformed her family traditions and spiritual life.

We talk about what it looks like to practice Christian parenting that points kids back to God’s Word, and how the Sabbath has become one of the most joy-filled parts of her family’s week. Stacie’s new book, As For Me and My House, is written to make these biblical practices simple, doable, and life-giving. Inside, she includes easy-to-follow family devotionals, recipes, and activities that invite parents and kids to the table to pause, remember, and worship together.

If you’ve been looking for fresh ideas to weave faith into everyday life, celebrate the feasts in a way your kids will love, or simply strengthen your family’s faith journey, this conversation is for you. Stacie’s story is both practical and inspiring and I know you’ll walk away with encouragement for your own home.
