Welcome to Episode 161 with Abby Kuykendall.

Hospitality is not a calling of a few, but of every Christian. Abby, joins the podcast today to talk with Jennifer about how to do hospitality for the naturally inhospitable and the gregarious. 

Hospitality is about being vulnerable, offering the comfort and the presence of Christ through open doors, warm food, and a place to rest. It doesn't have to be perfect. But it should be a spiritual discipline that we all are working on.

Welcome to episode 160 with Jennifer and Emelie Pepito. 

The holiday season is an amazing opportunity to shift your educational goals and create a Christmas school that allows your family to enjoy a slower pace of learning and the opportunity to apply learned knowledge to skills like engineering a snowman, baking cookies, sewing needlepoint decorations, or developing your family's bespoke Christmas soap or bath salts. There are so many ways to learn, and Christmas with all the attendant arts and crafts is a fantastic time to pivot from textbook learning and explore hands-on learning.

Welcome to Episode 158 of the Restoration Home Podcast. 

The heart of the home for a child is the tenderness and connection between parents. A good marriage is also one of the hardest endeavours an adult can undertake, and one of the most rewarding. But what do we do when our relationship is dogged by betrayal, unhealed trauma, and ugly pain?

This conversation with Joanna and Mathew Raabsmith is so full of hope, helpful advice, and encouragement for taking the steps to restore connection and intimacy in your marriage. 

This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

Growing up, Christmas was magical. My parents made first things first, and gave us consistently quiet, deeply magical, family-centred, Christ-focused Christmases. As I grew up, I realised how truly rare this was, as so many friends expressed distaste for the holidays because their parents were stressed, or they were introverts dragged from event to event. 

So often, we get caught up in the hustle of the Season, missing both its true symbolism and losing opportunities to carve out truly life-giving memories for our families. Jennifer's step by step guide to making Christmas, hosting, giving, and gifts simple, priorities focused and delightful is the perfect way to step into the Season. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 157 with Kate Strickler. Kate is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, I Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen. This delightful book takes you through all the little lies that can cause you to compare your lives to others or derail your plans when you sink into the trap of envy and comparison. The book and the episode are about setting real priorities for your life, your space, and your time. Because at the end of the day, what matters more: those subway tiles in your kitchen or children who grow up and want to hang out with you, a husband who feels at peace in your presence, and a community who value you deeply for who you are not what you post on socials.

Welcome to episode 153 with Jessica Smartt. Jessica is the author of several books, but her most recent one, Come On Home, is a beautiful expose on how to build a family that loves each other and returns to your home. 

We want to build a family with good habits, self-discipline, and holiness, but perfectionism cannot replace connection, grace, and laughter. Sometimes, we have to let go of perfection, enjoy our family, and release control of the process to God.

Dear Mama, 

It's been a long week of sad news. It can feel hard to hold your heart in rest, to be at peace, and to know how to shelter your children or when to allow them to begin glimpsing the pain in the world they are inheriting. 

This episode is a little different from our regular podcasts, but we hope it encourages you to grieve, to be the mama your children need in this season, to guard the atmosphere in your home, and most, importantly, to turn your eyes to Jesus, who is our Saviour and our Peace.
