Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

Jennifer’s Guide to Creating a Daily Routine

Do you ever have golden dreams for how your homeschool day will go, but feel like you're constantly ending it weary and disappointed in another day that was overwhelming, chaotic, too full, or simply lacked any sort of order? If you can resonate with any of that, then episode 40 is perfect for you.
Jennifer takes you through planning a daily rhythm and highlights resources, systems, ideas, and strategies for making sure that we feel less steamrolled at the end of the day. Yet, sometimes no matter how meticulously we planned, a day still takes us. On those days we learn to forgive ourselves, our children, our spouse, maybe a friend or parent and accept the grace on offer in Christ to pick up and start afresh tomorrow.

The Rule of Life with Heather MacFadyen

Building a rule of life is about the practical culmination of the last 10 months into a vision board for how to take what you're learning, and make it your own. A huge part of the ongoing struggle we face in doing so is comparison and becoming sidetracked by other people's "spaces".
Or maybe you're building a family vision and you're not being sidetracked by other people, but you are making a plan that is contained and measured by your limitations, fears, and vows. In doing so, are you ignoring the space and vision that God wants to assign to you in order to grow, heal, broaden, and restore? 
In Ep. 39, Heather MacFadyen of the Don't Mom Alone Podcast joins Jennifer for the second part of how to build a rule for you and your family. The conversation is so beautiful as both women share experiences from their past, and remember how God has shown up give them not just a vision but one where God remains firmy at the centre.

 In this episode–
A family rule is something can be "bendy" but unbroken. So, it's not something you get to pick and choose when it applies but something you follow with consistency through changing seasons.
Humility is learning to live with authority in your God given space
With older children, you neither bend your will to theirs, or their will to yours, but you continue faithfully trusting God in the journey he is taking them on.

Creating a Family Rule

For the last 9 months of the Restoration Home Podcast, we have explored the disciplines of hospitality, order, prayer, stability and much more. We have loved having these conversations and understanding the way embracing them through enjoyment of God rather than religion can encourage restoration in our lives, our families and into our community.
But with all this information, where do we go next? 
Join Jennifer and Emelie for the beginning of a four part series on the "how to" of creating a family rule. This is one of my favourite conversations as we talked about our early days of creating a famiy vision and how to build and hold onto one in the midst of changing and uncontrollable disruption.

A Guide to Orderly Parenting

Whether your child is 3, 5, 9, 13 or 17, you are probably already confronted with, "But Sally gets to stay up late, eat this, do that, go here, fill in the blank." And I'm sure your response has ranged across permissive, mature, and full on authoritarian as you wage the war of parenthood against the world to raise children whose young and growing minds are protected, nurtured, strengthened and prepared to thrive in every aspect of their lives. But in this fight to raise Godly children, are you making your children the enemy? 
Episode 37 is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Wendy of the Fresh Start Family about creating order through clear boundaries, consistent follow through, empathy, kindness, and humility.

Order, Orderly, Ordered: What is it really?

Two episodes ago, Jennifer and Emelie talked about how Order has become something often associated with control. Control often comes from a broken place, as we try to make our world and environment safe, familiar, and unchanging. Or if our parents were orderly, bordering on control, we shy away from order because it felt like manipulation and fear. 
But Godly order is worship of an orderly God. 
In this episode, Emelie and Jennifer hit all sorts of delicious topics like what is patriarchy, matriarchy? How has control of what life should look like,  instead of order that tends our garden, hurt our joy and stability. Finally, before you assume it's a patriarchy, are you using a matriarchy to uphold a patriarchy? At the end of the day the only place we can create an abundance of order is when we start tending to the intimate places of our heart.

Loving Beyond Control

Join Jennifer and Mary DeMuth author of Love, Pray Listen, as they talk about how our internal order has more to do with our children's order than our ability to manage well or enforce outward order. This grows with a willingness to pursue our identity in Christ and let him be our all in all, so that when the day comes, and our children leave the nest and begin making their own decisions, we aren't caught in the trap of believing we can control or "order" their lives. Instead, we can Love, Pray and Listen.

Healing Order: The Role of Connection and Humility in Building Orderly Homes

Have you seen something or experienced the corruption of a godly principle, virtue, or idea that created a lot of pain in your life? Maybe it affected a friend of family member. Is it a pain that is still sitting with you and making it hard to find balance and order in certain areas of your life? 
In this episode, Emelie and Jennifer introduce the discipline of order to talk about the ways we hold on and react to past perversions of holy virtues. They discuss the role of humility and repentance in bringing restoration to generations so as families and communities we can embrace order from a place of wholeness not control.

Living with Patient Endurance

Join Jennifer and Katie Westenberg, author of the book, But Then She Remembered, for Ep. 33. The conversation begins with doom scrolling, what it is and why we are doing it. Doom scrolling, worry, fear for our loved ones, it's so easy to paint these things with a brush of validity. We validate why we allow fear, distraction, and worry to govern so much of our attention. If that sounds familiar to you, this is a beautiful conversation about how to fill your home with praise instead of fear. Part of restoration, part of balance, is putting God back on the throne of our lives, our concerns, and our emotions.
