Join Jennifer and Katie Westenberg, author of the book, But Then She Remembered, for Ep. 33. The conversation begins with doom scrolling, what it is and why we are doing it. Doom scrolling, worry, fear for our loved ones, it's so easy to paint these things with a brush of validity. We validate why we allow fear, distraction, and worry to govern so much of our attention. If that sounds familiar to you, this is a beautiful conversation about how to fill your home with praise instead of fear. Part of restoration, part of balance, is putting God back on the throne of our lives, our concerns, and our emotions.

Whenever I read a book by Elizabeth Goudge, I am transported into a world of everyday heroines and heroes that inspire me to live with a little more beauty and graciousness in my everyday life. 
Episode 84 with Elsie Iudicello has the same effect. The wisdom and tender authority she carries, the way she talks about her marriage and husband, the graceful way she sets boundaries of community within her family, and her understanding of seasons, offers a refreshing and inspiring view of an orderly life for our community.

Work, Rest, Read, Repeat with Elsie Iudicello

Submission has become a polarising word. For those of us who were raised under hyper-religious structures in the 80s and 90s, submission was framed in medieval terms. For some, it's one of those things in the Bible, that we simply lay aside as archaic, along with the commandment for women to go outside of the city whilst on their period. For others, it conveys a whole world of hurt and manipulation. 
But what is submission, really? Is it necessary? And does it have anything to do with building an orderly, fulfilling, and joy filled marriage?
Welcome to episode 83! Emelie and Jennifer begin to tackle some of these questions, and talk about thankfulness, submission, Laura Doyles six step to intimacy, and so much more.

Is a perfect Instagram house going to build the memories you wnat your children to remember about their youth? 
Myquillyn Smith author of The Nesting Place joins Jennifer Pepito in episode 82 to talk about how we build a home. Myquillyn spent many years living in rentals, often waiting for the home of her dreams until she realised that she needed to start creating a home for her boys now.
