The Meaning of Home with Jen Pollock Michel

The Meaning of Home Years before ever getting married, having babies and being a full time homemaker, I *knew* that was all I wanted to do.  Skip college; stay-at-home-mom-life full speed ahead! It was a life-long dream, my heart's desire... a longing. A few years ago I stumbled upon the book, "Keeping Place: Reflections on the Meaning of Home," by Jen Pollock Michel.  After God's Word, I return to her book over and over when my mindset towards home feels "off." Join me and listen in to today's conversation as we talk about: Where your longing for home comes from... What it is that creates dissatisfaction with the modern "husband who works long hours and the isolated-at-home life..." What home life used to be, generations ago... How modern time saving devices actually drain a housewife's satisfaction, rather than adding to it... Learn what is the most satisfying and creative about household tasks... The best place to find and create social connection... and more...
