Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito Jennifer Pepito

Submission has become a polarising word. For those of us who were raised under hyper-religious structures in the 80s and 90s, submission was framed in medieval terms. For some, it's one of those things in the Bible, that we simply lay aside as archaic, along with the commandment for women to go outside of the city whilst on their period. For others, it conveys a whole world of hurt and manipulation. 
But what is submission, really? Is it necessary? And does it have anything to do with building an orderly, fulfilling, and joy filled marriage?
Welcome to episode 83! Emelie and Jennifer begin to tackle some of these questions, and talk about thankfulness, submission, Laura Doyles six step to intimacy, and so much more.

Instagram has filled us with images of beautiful homes, and it's such a joy to look at these to be inspired, but at the end of the day, "what do you want children to remember about life in your home"? Is a perfect Instagram house going to build the memories you wnat your children to remember about their youth? 
Myquillyn Smith author of The Nesting Place joins Jennifer Pepito in episode 82 to talk about how we build a home. Myquillyn spent many years living in rentals, often waiting for the home of her dreams until she realised that she needed to start creating a home for her boys now. She shares that process, her best tips for decorating, and how to visualise and execute our family priorities in the design of our homes.

Morning time is a huge part of the rhythm of the Peaceful Press. It's a daily time set aside each morning to connect as a family, read great literature, but most importantly it's the time where we pray and connect with God as a community and the body of Christ. 
But how do we do that, what does it look like? 
Jennifer has been doing morning time with her family for 25 years, and she is joined in episode 79 with Emelie Pepito as they talk about their family morning time, what they've learned, and how it's affected them, and the beauty that having a time of prayer each morning does for the atmosphere of the home across the day.
