Sarah Boyd's book "Turn Down the Noise" addresses the neural breakdown that happens when we are overwhelmed, distracted, and depleting our pre-frontal cortex. It is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Sarah about the limitations of our brain, the costs of devices on parents and children, the importance of rest, and 5 principles to reverse degenerating attention span, reduce distraction, and restore mental peace.

Sarah presents the overwhelm inherent in modern life as the missing piece when we are examining dysfunction in our life that maybe counselling, better food, or more sleep isn't fixing. Also, the future needs children who are imaginative and creative, and these are skills that are developed in space and quiet not through reams of work and activities.

Ian Morgan Cron, author of Chasing Francis and Jesus, My Father, the CIA and Me, joins Jennifer Pepito to discuss his newest book The Fix. It is a beautiful book about healing addictions and the spiritual growth that can be found through the 12 step program.

So often in Christian culture, we are quick to categorise addictions as the painfully obvious like alcohol, porn, food addictions, anger, but co-dependency on our spouses or our children, addiction to control, addiction to negative thinking, to complaining are also addictions. All of these can shroud our lives in a grey weightiness, damage our relationships, and steal our joy. The Fix which dives into the 12 steps and how, when we start with laying our burden at the feet of Jesus and admit we cannot carry it all, we can begin to heal.

Emily Wilson Hussem, author of Sincerely, Stoneheart, joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about the lies plaguing women, why it matters that we carve out quiet time, protect our mothering time from distractions, and learn to walk in the truth of what God says about you.

As women, we have beautiful, fertile imaginations, and it is what allows us to see our children as future doctors, creators, homesteaders, and lovers of God. The downside of the imagination is that it makes us more susceptible to believing lies and meditating on fearful things. Emily and Jennifer both share their story with fear and the ways they are pursuing the truth of what God says about who they are, and allowing His Words to define their thoughts and feelings rather than the enemy.

Welcome to episode 137 with Julia Ubbenga, the author of Declutter Your Heart and Your Home. At the core of the Restoration Home is not just external change but heart change, and Julia brings so much wisdom and insight into how healing our hearts can declutter our homes, bring us more peace, and stop us from using stuff to fill holes in our hearts.

It is an incredible episode with helpful advice on how to declutter, and, more importantly, how to figure out what is truly important to you and your family.
