Simply Convivial: Biblical Homemaking, Homeschooling & Mom Life—Without Burnout

No More Gold Stars: What it REALLY means to be a housewife


Listen Later

Most modern women weren’t trained to be homemakers—not because they missed home ec, but because our entire culture formed them for employee roles, not ownership. In this episode, Mystie Winckler unpacks how homemakers operate real economies, make high-stakes decisions with scarce resources, and create lasting value—often without recognition or reward.

Drawing from classical definitions of economics and the biblical vision for the home, Mystie reframes homemaking as mission-critical work in God’s world. This episode will reset your mindset and equip you to lead your home like an owner, not a cog in someone else’s machine.

If you've ever felt unequipped, unseen, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation is for you. Our upbringing trained us to be employees instead of owners—and that disconnect leads to burnout and guilt at home.

Homemaking is real economics. Your home is not just a place of consumption; it’s a center of decision-making, creativity, and discipleship. As a Christian homemaker, your work matters eternally—even if no one gives you a gold star for it.

Whether you’re managing routines, teaching kids, or just trying to keep the laundry going, it’s time to see your role with fresh eyes and renewed purpose.

💜 You don’t need a better checklist. You need a better vision.

Mystie Winckler encourages moms to organize their attitudes and get traction at home so we are no longer overwhelmed or frustrated with homemaking. We are a community of Christian women striving to be competent, cheerful homemakers so we are fruitful, faithful, and hospitable. Subscribe for regular encouragement!
