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.

Dear Mama,

It's been a long week of sad news. It can feel hard to hold your heart in rest, to be at peace, and to know how to shelter your children or when to allow them to begin glimpsing the pain in the world they are inheriting.

This episode is a little different from our regular podcasts, but we hope it encourages you to grieve, to be the mama your children need in this season, to guard the atmosphere in your home, and most, importantly, to turn your eyes to Jesus, who is our Saviour and our Peace.
