What if we had peace in our lives and our homes even BEFORE stepping into the season of Christmas? I know, I know… it would change everything, right? We would be so much more present and calm. In this first of two episodes, Wendy and I talk about some of the things that trip us up, including some of my own struggles (I see you paper piles!).

As we maintain peace in our homes, Wendy shares tips and wisdom on how to keep calm in our homes all season long, and how to end it well. The most important way to calm our homes, however, is remembering the reason we're celebrating in the first place: we need to have a posture of remembrance that it's Jesus we're celebrating…not more stuff.

In this episode you'll hear: 

  • "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." - William Morris
  • "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:21
