  Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.Today is February 3rd. Have you made any plans for Valentine’s Day? I realize that some people dismiss this as a greeting card holiday or despise it as a day fraught traumatic memories of not getting a valentine from the boy you had a crush on in 3rd grade. Today, I’m inviting you to lay your prejudices and past disappointments aside and embrace the unique opportunities to celebrate and express God’s love through your everyday homemaking. We will look at ways to celebrate with food, words, music, experiences and some "couples only" suggestions for igniting the spark in your marriage.

• Homemaker Portrait | Charity Gibson

  Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.Today, we are going to hear from Charity Gibson, who not only works outside the home but has written a book called The Working Homemaker: Employed Christian Moms Desiring a Thriving Home Life. Charity is at peace with her decision to be a working homemaker, yet is just as passionate about cultivating a place of belonging in her home as a full time homemaker would be. She’s come to realize that her choice, just like another woman’s choice to be home full time, requires certain sacrifices and adjusted expectations. But she does have a choice, and so do you. We talk about the role of boundaries for keeping work in its proper place, the difference between obligation and options and the fundamental truth that society should exist for the good of the family, not the other way around, because that is how both institutions truly thrive. We also cover all the usual ground of homemaking highs and lows, favorites, tips and more.EPISODE NOTES & LINKSDo you want to hear a full episode about managing on one income and making the decision to stay home full time? Text me!

Last week we looked at looking with, looking without, and looking up for identity, as well as some common identity thieves. Be sure to go back and give that a listen if you haven’t. Today we are going to talk about rehab for an identity-confused heart. We will look at how to replace false identities with Truth, focusing on what the Bible has to say about who God is and who you are in Christ.

• Monday Motivation #14 | Homemaker Identity, Part 1

  Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.If you’re new to the art of home, you may not be familiar with the 4 pillars of homemaking we’ve been exploring over the past couple of years—Identity, Values & Priorities, Rhythms & Routines, and Community. We have done Deep Dives into the first three and this year we will dive into the final pillar, Community. In preparation for that journey, I wanted to revisit the first three pillars in several series of Monday Motivation episodes. Today, I will be talking about Pillar #1, Identity, specifically where to look and not to look for your identity, as well as how to recognize some common thieves we may be tempted to attach our identity to and why.EPISODE NOTES & LINKSPillars of Homemaking Deep Dive EpisodesIdentity with Susan MaciasValues & Priorities with Karen Sheppard and Joi WelchRhythms & Routines with Leslie Lucadou Scripture:Job 1:21James 1:7Think About It Questions:Consider losses or hardships you do or might face in your marriage, parenting, role as a homemaker, your physical home, health/wellness, ministry/volunteer work and ask yourself the following questions:How would you react if these were threatened? I've given you some possible scenarios.Note what emotions come up as you consider these hypothetical threats and losses.Then ask yourself, "Why? Why do I feel _______ facing this particular threat?"Once you have your answer, ask again, "But Why?" Keep asking "why" until you get to the heart of the matter. I guarantee you it will always come down to an identity issue. Do you believe God is who He says He is and that you are who He says you are?Support the showHOMEMAKING RESOURCES Free Weekly Newsletter, Homemaker Happy Mail Private Facebook Group, Homemaker Forum Newsletter Archive JR Miller's Homemaking Study Guide Audio Newsletter available to Titus 2 Woman monthly supporters SUPPORT & CONNECT Review | Love The Podcast Contact | Voicemail |Instagram | Facebook | Website | Email Follow | Follow The Podcast Support | theartofhomepodcast.com/support
