Summary Post: The Heart of Home

I’m going to take a break this week and simply summarize where I’ve been in this past series. I’ll be back the following week to start a new one!

More Than Square Footage: What are the most crucial elements of a home? The importance of finding our dwelling place in God alone.

Two Essential Ingredients for Home: How God designs His home—with intentionality and with relationship in mind.

The Theology of Enough: Learning contentment with the limits of our homes.

Beauty on a Limited Budget: Simple ways to reflect God’s beauty in our home.

Rest as Resistance: Rest in the home as a countercultural practice to the busyness of our time.

Order as a Gift: Thinking through decluttering to make order a feature of home that encourages beauty and rest.

Rhythm and Ritual: Creating rhythms that help ourselves and those who live in our home to order our time for both work and rest.

The Table as Theology: The rhythm of mealtimes as a way to encourage intentionality and relationship within the home.

A Home That Forms: The goal of home is to form us more like Christ—starting with mealtimes, but extending to every moment of life.

The Open Door: Welcome and hospitality of others is one way we grow in our own faith as well as help others in their journeys.

Your Home as Someone's Refuge: We can minister to others by welcoming them and providing refuge or bringing that welcome to them wherever we go.

Ministry Begins at Home: Discipling others in your home by sharing your life along the way in ordinary duties and rhythms of life.

At Home in Christ: The most important feature of a restful home=abiding and resting in Christ.
