My guest today is Meg Hunter-Kilmer. Meg has been on the podcast so many times -- sometimes sitting at my table, sometimes from someone else’s home, this time from her OWN home! I first met Meg ten years ago at a Kansas Catholic College Student Convention and her love for Christ and his Church is such a joy to witness. When I started putting together the shows for this Letters to Daughters season, I knew I wanted Meg back on the show to talk about what living her daughterhood looked like.
In this conversation, we’re talking about the saints, Meg’s recent trip to South Korea, what it’s like to write about the hard parts of saints stories so even the littlest can meet these Heavenly friends, and what it’s like for Meg to OWN a home after years of life as a hobo for Christ.
If you're ready to embrace your identity as a beloved daughter of God and be inspired by the lives of the saints, sister, this letter is for you.
Topics we cover:
Meg’s new adventures as a homeowner in South Bend
Why we should throw out perfectionism when it comes to hosting and how to embrace scruffy hospitality
Meg’s recent pilgrimage to South Korea
How Meg started writing about the lives of the saints, how she’s grown in friendship with them over the years, and how that heavenly friendship impacts how she views herself as a daughter of God
The universality of the Catholic Church
What it was like for Meg to adapt her saint book for older children into a six part series for little kids
How Meg lives out the feminine genius in her ordinary, daily life as a daughter of God
