  • A few years ago, Erin Loechner, author of Other Goose and The Opt Out Family, and her family decided to remove social media and opt out of a technologically driven lifestyle. This means having a smartphone that is no more used than a dumb phone, an iPad that can only play scales, and saying no to the digital community in favour of building community amongst your neighbours.

    Join Jennifer and Erin in Episode 88 as they dig into what it looks like to walk away from social media, the unexpected benefits, what you might miss, and all you gain.

  • Home education through elementary is fairly undaunting and highly enjoyable. When high school rolls around, the pressure to socialise children and prepare them for careers, college, and life begins to amp up, and uncertainty about how equipped we are to tackle the job at hand or even if it's a good idea in the first place can weigh us down.

    Whether you're considering homeschooling through high school, in the midst of it, or looking for fresh ideas after homeschooling your third child, this episode is a goldmine of practical advice.

    Carrie De Francisco, a fellow homeschooling parent, founder of Coffee with Carrie, and author of the newly released Homeschool High School, joins Jennifer Pepito in episode 86. Together, they delve into the world of homeschooling, high school, community building, and restoring relationships.

  • Silent to do lists, Pinterest meal pressure, self-care standards, religious pressures, we are surrounded by so many voices putting external pressures on us. The unfinished baseboards, the 400 recipes in your Pinterests food boards, the weights in the corner of your room, the unused gym membership. What if part of a restored life was learning to identify and reduce these clamouring gremlins that are trying to steal our joy and reduce the simplicity of what Christ has called you to in whatever stage of parenting or life you are in?

    Join Jennifer and Emelie Pepito in episode 85 as they discuss these silent to do lists, how simplicity gives us space to breath, the importance of values, and how understanding who God is as a loving Father can take us from stressed and overwhelmed to a glorious adventure with a loving God who has our backs.

  • Submission has become a polarising word. For those of us who were raised under hyper-religious structures in the 80s and 90s, submission was framed in medieval terms. For some, it's one of those things in the Bible, that we simply lay aside as archaic, along with the commandment for women to go outside of the city whilst on their period. For others, it conveys a whole world of hurt and manipulation.

    But what is submission, really? Is it necessary? And does it have anything to do with building an orderly, fulfilling, and joy filled marriage?

    Welcome to episode 83! Emelie and Jennifer begin to tackle some of these questions, and talk about thankfulness, submission, Laura Doyles six step to intimacy, and so much more.

  • Morning time is a huge part of the rhythm of the Peaceful Press. It's a daily time set aside each morning to connect as a family, read great literature, but most importantly it's the time where we pray and connect with God as a community and the body of Christ.

    But how do we do that, what does it look like?

    Jennifer has been doing morning time with her family for 25 years, and she is joined in episode 79 with Emelie Pepito as they talk about their family morning time, what they've learned, and how it's affected them, and the beauty that having a time of prayer each morning does for the atmosphere of the home across the day.

  • “For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.” – Teresa of Ávila

    Welcome to episode 77. Jennifer and Emelie come together to talk about prayer. Prayer is a habit essential to our walk as mothers. We are entrusted with the care of souls, and how can we do that without constant communion with God?

    Not only that, but our Christian faith gives us open access to a loving God who speaks to us as individuals and the body of Christ, encourages, exhorts, guides us in our daily decisions, comforts us in our stress and distress, and is a "very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)

  • If you were dropped into an alpine meadow with a large picnic hamper full of C.S. Lewisesque fruits and foods, and your children, would you have the most delicious day of your life? Imagine this meadow has a stream, and you don't have a phone or a computer; it's you and your children in the most pristine and quiet setting imaginable.

    Would you have the best day of your life? Or would the silence and spacious emptiness of such a day make you feel uneasy? Do you think something important might not be getting done? For me, the thought of having such an unproductive day fills me with a low level of anxiety.

    What if in our busyness and overstimulation, we are missing an invitation to connect with Jesus? What if there is a level of Shalom on offer for our homes that requires us to prioritise empty space in our daily lives?

    Welcome to episode 74 with Kimberly June Miller, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. We've talked so much about becoming healthier as parents across the Restoration Home Podcast and I love this conversation because it is full of practical advice and compassion for parents.

    Taking the path to healing Understanding our responses to our childrens emotions. The Biblical basis for inner healing One of the first steps towards healing is beginning to identify how you're filling your down time to avoid the spaciousness of your thoughts and feelings. Your children will respond to your inner emotions as much as your outer behaviour so creating a peaceful home means keeping space in our daily lives to identify and heal our inner emotional landscape with Jesus.

  • Episode 73 marks the beginning of a four week segment on stewardship. Jennifer and Emelie start with the most basic stewardship, our hormones, specifically progesterone!*

    Progesterone is the hormone that prepares your body for pregnancy at the end of your cycle. When you have enough of it, you should feel calm and nurtured in the days running up to your cycle. But stress, crowded schedules, busy school loads, and trying to do everything can derail our progesterone production.

    Why does this matter? When we don't steward our hormones properly across our cycle, we start using cortisol and adrenals to function. This causes long term stress on our body, reducing our capacity to handle bigger life stressors that come our way because we have used everything up trying to over perform during the progesterone (Luteal Phase) of our cycle.

    Addressing this is about learning micro stewardship of our emotions and progesterone across the cycle.

    Micro emotional stewardship is learning to connect with God in the middle of a emotion and ask:

    1. Is this feeling true or is it an emotion that's coming up and related to some old pain or lie about the goodness of God, the love of my husband, or God's sufficiency? (Memorise Psalm 23)

    2. Is this feeling something physical–hormonal, exhaustion, poor diet choice, stress?

    3. Is my reaction to this feeling going to bring connection or disconnection?

    Progesterone stewardship is learning to identify the foods and care your body needs in the last 10 days of your cycle.

    *None of this is medical advice, nor is it intended to be.
