Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

The Peaceful Pursuit of Stability

Welcome to Episode 15!! Jennifer and Ann author of The Path to Peace talk about how stability through family vision and rhythm can offer a path for healed families and restored communities. When we are rooted in Christ as the Prince of Peace, we make decisions for ourselves and families that are rooted in wholeness, rather than filling our lives with striving and chaos to belong, do enough, be enough, or keep up with the world around us. 
In this episode–
Crafting your family vision and rythms
Raising healthy children in their mind, body, and souls is a process that takes a childhood not a few years
Pursuing stability in community
Committing to the lifelong process of stability.

Episode 8 Imperfect Community and Growing in Grace

Welcome to Episode 8 of Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito and Elizabeth Santelmann of the "Sunshine in My Nest" Podcast. This is a beautiful episode about imperfect community, how we navigate disappointment when our community fails, and God's grace as we continue in the pursuit of growth and righteousness as families, individuals and community.

We discuss-
How we need community but what to do when our community is less than perfect
How we engage in community as imperfect people with imperfect people
Not making community our God
The way truly understanding God's grace allows us to re-enegage with imperfect community and be imperfect ourselves

Episode 6 Being Community

Welcome to Episode 6 of Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito and Anna Symonds of "Fill Your House with Books".

We discuss-
Breaking the lie that I'm not wanted or enough in order to build the  community and belonging we long for
Are we willing to be obedient and put ourselves out there to craft beautiful community
How seasons of loneliness build the foundation for flourishing community
