    Overcoming Stress with Barb Roose

    The wonderful Barb Roose, author of Stronger than Stress: 10 Spiritual Practices to Win the Battle of Overwhelm, joins Jennifer Pepito for episode 107. This hard-hitting episode is all about stress! It is so timely to transition into the holiday season. Barb is full of profound wisdom and helpful insight on stress, what it is, what it isn't, and how to deal with it. As mothers, we can be conduits of Christ-centred peace or agents of chaos. This episode is for you if you are struggling with the latter or want to be more of the former.  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! With Winter and Winter Holidays around the corner, check out the Peaceful Press resources and blogs for good literature, engaging ways to celebrate, and the Four-week Autumn Guide. Autumn Guide,  Christmas Guide Volume 1 and Volume 2  In this episode– If you, as a mother, are under chronic stress, ask yourself if you are trying to be everything to everyone and then start stepping back from that place because only God can fill that place. Stress is not bad; it is a gift from God to know when we are too deep. Don't let lies or the fruit of stress dictate how you view your children. Whimsy can diffuse a stressful situation quickly. We cannot live to do the will of our children and our husbands, nor can we act as though keeping them safe and happy is our job.  Stronger than Stress: 10 Spiritual Practices to Win the Battle of Overwhelm by Barb Roose You can learn more about Jennifer here- Jennifer's Instagram You can learn more about Barb here- Barb's Instagram and website Some Amazon Affiliate Links.

    The Pursuit of Faith-filled Parenting with Deb Weakly

    Sometimes, in the nitty gritty of parenting, we get so focused on what isn't happening, or we focus on our current "reality" rather than the promises of God. This can cause us to spiral into fear, control, panic, and reactionary decision-making. Our children are the actual sufferers when we allow this spiral to happen. What would happen if, instead, we started to step back in those moments and ask God to show us what he is doing or asked him for advice on how to deal with or respond to a learning struggle, a child with hard-to-manage emotions, or any one of the plethora of problems that come up in life? What if we learned to tune in and attach to our children  The wonderful Deb Weakly, creator of Help Club for Moms, joins Jennifer to talk about how big God is, his faithfulness, and the process of trusting him in our parenting and mothering story. There is so much hope in this episode, and we hope that wherever you are in your parenting journey, you are blessed by this conversation.  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! With Winter and Winter Holidays around the corner, check out the Peaceful Press resources and blogs for good literature, engaging ways to celebrate, and the Four-week Autumn Guide. Autumn Guide,  Christmas Guide Volume 1 and Volume 2  In this episode– God wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives, including planning our school Your children should never be exposed to the disrespect of being your "problem child."  How to protect your children's relationship with each other  We need to focus on what our children are good at it   Trusting God with our children Learn to connect with your children rather than react to them  Check out Deb's book, Help Club for Moms You can learn more about Jennifer here- Jennifer's Instagram You can learn more about Deb here- Deb's Instagram  Some Amazon Affiliate Links.

    The Father Crisis with Katy Faust

    Welcome to episode 105 of the Restoration Home Podcast. What a conversation we have for you today. We had the honour of hosting Katy Faust of the "Them Before Us" movement. She comes on with heart-hitting facts about the cost of divorce, the crisis in a divorce generation, and the irreplaceable role of fathers.  Today, 50% of divorces are over low-level conflicts that build, and the long-term cost of a self-serving "happiness' decision is our children's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.  Katy and Jennifer offer advice on better communicating with our husbands, the point of fathers, and the importance of putting our children first in every decision.   This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! With Winter and Winter Holidays around the corner, check out the Peaceful Press resources and blogs for good literature, engaging ways to celebrate, and the Peaceful Press four-week Autumn Guide. Autumn Guide,  Christmas Guide Volume 1 and Volume 2  In this episode– Fathers and mothers each bring unique childrearing traits to the table; one is not better than the other, and neither is replaceable.  Children must come before adults in our policies, beliefs, and choices.  Love your children by respecting their father and choosing the narrative you spin about him carefully. It is children who bear the lifetime cost of a divorce, and step-parents rarely have your child's best interest at heart.  We need to get serious about sustaining marriages in the church and honouring fathers' unique and vital role.  Tips on how to communicate with your husband  Them Before Us by Katy Faust and Stacy Manning Check out Empowered Wife by Laura Doyle Keys to the Kingdom and the Queen's Code by Allison Armstrong for great books on understanding men and becoming more capable of navigating a gracious relationship with your husband.  Check out The Men We Need by Brant Hansen for an incredible book on manhood.  Order Katie's new book, Pro-Child Politics You can learn more about Jennifer here- Jennifer's Instagram You can learn more about Katy here- Katy's Instagram and website Some Amazon Affiliate Links.

    We are delighted to welcome Sally Clarkson back to the Restoration Home Podcast! She is a dear friend and our first repeat guest on the podcast. She has recently published a new book, Well Lived: Shaping a Legacy of Gratitude and Grace.  Her newest book is a memoir and an inspiration to mothers young and old, new and veteran. She joins Jennifer to talk about living a life of generosity and faithfulness. We often live our lives going from goal post to goal post, waiting until we've "arrived" or we're "done". However, as wives and mothers of faith, the journey is life itself, and we're called to run well until the run is complete.  Sally Clarkson's gentleness and wisdom, shared through her personal stories, is a wonderful encouragement, and we are so excited to offer this episode to our community.    Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

Autumn Guide,  Christmas Guide Volume 1 and Volume 2  In this episode– Create a vision of who you want to be in your family and the atmosphere you want to carry into your family. Model your motherhood after women of character. We need to plant the flag in our lives for what we believe and know to be accurate and hold fast, even when our circumstances or emotions aren't matching. You have the agency and capacity to build an incredible life.  You are not the victim of your life. It is a more fulfilling way to live when we choose to grow into being like God.  We are excited about Sally's newest book, Well Lived: Shaping a Legacy of Gratitude and Grace.  Two of our favourite books by Sally are Different and Awakening Wonder.  Check out Jennifer's new book Habits for a Sacred Home, which is available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

    When Homeschooling Feels Hard with Emelie Pepito

    What if homeschooling was hard simply because there were still some areas where past pain continued to steal the joy and whimsy from our present life? And what if taking our precocious, intelligent 4-year-old from preschool to 12th grade, without turning them into "barely interested test takers", was possible? What if everything we thought about education was a myth? What if a little more balance and less stress could have a whole lot of impact?  In this delightful episode 101, Emelie and Jennifer talk about balance, baking bread, homeschooling, how life can steal our joy, why traditional workbook studies for our kids are detrimental to cultivating intelligence and much more.  This episode is for every mom with a deep love for her family and a lot of work to get through daily. We understand that life is demanding, but it doesn't have to be draining.
