#3 Trials and Discontentment with Emily Nelson

05/02/22 • 37 min

As gatekeepers between home and world, we have the ability through our daily actions and presence in our own homes, to change the world by collectively placing intention in the construction of homes built on strong foundations. Emily and I invite you to listen in as we discuss the impact we believe home has in our communities, how to maintain a healthful heart during seasons of trial and discontentment, and the beauty of community as we remain steadfast in our work making home fruitful and productive, together. “I really believe though that the world really hinges on the home. A lot of the problems you see in society today and where the world is as a whole is a result of the deconstruction of the home and of the family. As homemakers, we really have the ability to impact the world.” - Emily Nelson (@_sweetmagnolias_ on Instagram) A few little things that were mentioned in today’s episode + the coordinating details:Emily’s YouTube Channel1 Timothy 6:6-8 (for contentment vs wants)Proverbs 15:17 (for contentment during financial struggle)Join our community of thousands of women worldwide, as we navigate the joys and hardships of homemaking, alongside one another!

#2 Gospel Led Homemaking with Holly Levell

Holly and I sat down the day after Easter Sunday to discuss the matters of mental health and homemaking, and ways in which we use the gospel as a means of encouragement and foundation for the joys and hardships of homemaking. From running with tenacity as we share homemaking with the world, to learning to not place value in the works we do but in who we are, Holly and I invite you to listen in as we share hearts for tending to those entrusted in our care in a humble, service minded, gospel-led way.“One of the things I’ve always struggled with is identifying what I do with who I am. We have to know that the photos we see online, people have stewarded their gifts to get to where they are. You don't wake up one day and are the best chef. I think some people are naturally gifted in some things. You don't wake up and know how to make an awesome apple pie! You have to learn, and grow, and steward those things to serve your family." - Holly Grace Levell (@hollygrace.at.home on Instagram)In this episode, Holly and I discuss her journal she shares on her website Holly Grace at Home, where she shares tips for slow homemaking and sacred heart shaping. She also has a newly opened mercantile of homemade goods for homemaking like aprons and vintage goods for beautiful usefulness.

#4 Home Culture with Kristin Cash

My friend Kristin and I invite you to listen in as we discuss what we believe to be cornerstones in the cultivation of our homes and the culture in which we intend to create. From traditions of both old and new, and the images of home that were planted in our heart's upbringings, we believe that through homemaking, we are building a rich home culture. A rich home culture that we pray will leave a lasting impact on the lives entrusted in our care, and for the generations to follow. "I love to have them (my children) scurrying around to create that culture of being seen and wanted. That they are a part of it, they don't just live here, but they are connected to their home, they are a part of their home. It makes such a difference to me because I felt that so much more deeply when I would visit my grandmother. I felt like I was a part of her day and a part of her home, and I just want my kids to know that when they leave, that culture is still bringing them back here, they can always come home and be connected." - Kristin Cash @ouralaskanlegacy on Instagram A few little things that were mentioned in today’s episode + the coordinating details:Kristin's Book Tapestry of GraceFellow homemaker Jennifer Pepito @thepeacefulpress on Instagram1,000 Gifts by Ann VoskampWay Maker by Ann VoskampJoin our community of thousands of women worldwide, as we navigate the joys and hardships of homemaking, alongside one another!
