Old bread and beer for breakfast, weapons for craft, crispy pork and potato for the main meal, today is an east win for this family of adventurers.

We had the best day marrying French pastry with Vietnamese coffee, making pho for the first, but certainly not the last time and all around enjoying our day in Vietnam.

England has profoundly shaped not only the U.S, but the world, so it’s a great way to start off with something “less unfamiliar?” Spending the day knowing her culture is full of pleasant surprise. We had a great day and thanks to Martha, you can too.

Touring from our kitchen tables to cultures unknown, Ethiopia made a distinct impression on my kids and I’m so pleased to share my friend’s love for this country as we pray for it in current political upheaval.

Alicia walks us through an introduction into the colorful resilient beauty which is Peruvian culture. If this is a stop on your kitchen table cruise itinerary, you won’t be disappointed.

This was our kick off culture last year for our first kitchen table cruise and without friends like Marina, I would have missed some obvious and fun ways to present Russian culture to my family. So thankful for this opportunity to hear more about my friend, her life growing up in Russia and her heart for sharing her heritage with her family. https://petersfoodadventures.com/category/russian-recipes/

Japanese culture is fascinating and beautiful, and not by accident. The Idea of design and balance flows into every aspect of the culture and while that may feel a bit intimidating, it is an exposure which calls us to know God as the great Designer and Artist and Architect. We hope you consider visiting Japan from your kitchen table, if not making the trip in person.

Al and Jo have been bringing encouragement, supplies to and awareness of the persecuted church for years. Connecting to ministries such as OpenDoors and Voice of the Martyrs is a great way to cement the “why” of traveling into other cultures. Christ is so necessary to each of His beloved as He unifies the church body.

Wanting our families to have a mind and heart to see God’s creation can seem like a back burner dream when so much is telling us to stay home. Well home just got a lot more interesting thanks to my friend Teresa and her family’s lock-down imaginary world cruise. I hope you love this series which will set you up for success, as you and your family experience different cultures and create a memory that will last a life time.

Thriving in a life rooted in change requires the Ultimate in Stability. The podcast’s first requested topic, Elizabeth and I look at life as military spouses and raising families; identifying the challenges and the blessings of this life and how we must be reliant upon Christ and thus the community He provides. If you are interested in joining the military, or just wondering should I get involved with possible friends who will move too quickly, let this conversation sift your thoughts.
