Welcome to Episode 157 with Kate Strickler. Kate is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, I Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen. This delightful book takes you through all the little lies that can cause you to compare your lives to others or derail your plans when you sink into the trap of envy and comparison. The book and the episode are about setting real priorities for your life, your space, and your time. Because at the end of the day, what matters more: those subway tiles in your kitchen or children who grow up and want to hang out with you, a husband who feels at peace in your presence, and a community who value you deeply for who you are not what you post on socials.

A Welcoming Home with Jessica Smartt
Welcome to episode 153 with Jessica Smartt. Jessica is the author of several books, but her most recent one, Come On Home, is a beautiful expose on how to build a family that loves each other and returns to your home.
We want to build a family with good habits, self-discipline, and holiness, but perfectionism cannot replace connection, grace, and laughter. Sometimes, we have to let go of perfection, enjoy our family, and release control of the process to God.
