Some of us adore staying at home. Some of us have kids that do and we just don't understand that. Today Caroline and I talk about the deeper picture that home is for Christians. Our houses are important to us, but it's more than just cleaning, and cooking. In them we find, even in the brokenness, we find glimpses of home lost and home that will come again.

Have you thought about starting a podcast, a YouTube channel, writing a book, or becoming a photographer, but it seemed out of reach in this stage of life? Often as women, we feel apologetic about choosing to take time to create things. What if instead of taking us from our families we looked at these opportunities to serve them even better and with more joy? Today Ashlee Gadd and I talk about what it looks like to Create Anyway as moms and busy women! We talk about common hurdles and how we have overcome them in our lives. We also talk about the spiritual sides of creativity! 

I've linked Ashlee Gadd's new book "Create Anyway" and also her Instagram HERE!
