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. Community is where we see God's grace play out, and where we are refined, it is not a replacement for God. 
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". The episode covers how we learn to heal feeling unwanted when we continually initiate community.

As always, you become like the people you abide with. 
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
