Today is a book club episode and my guest is a new author, Kristen Kill. After frustration and exhaustion from her fast-paced life, Kristen intentionally decided she needed to incorporate more times of rest and renewal in order to truly show up and enjoy the other aspects of her life. She wrote "Finding Selah" to offer encouragement and compassion for those similarly caught up in the hurriedness of life. In today's conversation, we talk about that, as well as her experience with Post Partum Depression, and raising teens. She has the most soothing voice and I'm excited to share Kristen and her book with you today.

This fifth and final episode of The Healthy Way series is with our sister of heart, Kristen Kill. A homeschooling mom to five Kristen knows the distractions of a busy life. Finding moments to care for her soul can feel like an impossible task. Kristen shares how she finds those pauses and how we can to, no matter our schedules or number of little people at home. Spiritual health is an important part of who we are as people. It's not a luxury, but a necessity if we are to flourish. Because God made us more than physical beings, He gave us each a soul. It doesn't cost us anything but time to come to Him in our daily routines, and we can be confident God meets us in these moments. Kristen's new book, Finding Selah, helps us to meet Jesus in the midst of the mundane and marvelous. Our souls can be rejuvenated by the one who made them. Whether you are needing a little inspiration in your spiritual life or overcome with with grief and desperation, God will meet you. We pray this episode offers some practical help as you take that next step and do that hard thing to get healthy in your spiritual life.

Our first guest is Donna Barrett. While working in as a missionary in Nicaragua, Donna’s life was affected not only by the systemic poverty she witnessed in this country, but the relationships she formed by working alongside the team who accompanied her on the trip; in particular a gregarious young woman who God placed in her path, who would have an impact on her life for years to come. Our second guest is writer Kristen Kill. Kristen was exhausted, depressed and desperate for a change. Something sparked in her when she read the Psalms and discovered the true meaning of “selah” – the pause, rest or interlude between the notes in song. Kristen discovered the secret of finding selah in her own life, and shares how others can also find this rest.

Join us for Part 2 of the conversation we had with Kristin Kill on Selah. We’re talking about giving ourselves permission to rest and participate in those things that refresh us and how it can ultimately point us to Christ. We also touch on the ups and downs of Sabbath and why it’s hard for some people to take a vacation.

The first of a two part series, Sally and Kristen will encourage you to understand your identity in light of God's view of you, which is a stability that will serve your children through their whole lives.  WHAT WE TALK ABOUT: -How surprising circumstances in our own lives caused us to re-imagine our roles and personal convictions this summer. -How being faced with difficult tasks can become a blessing -The glory and beauty of womanhood and the gifts given to women as cultivators and civilizers -New research about what gives women a sense of contentment and fulfillment -How God has called us to be mothers because He intends for us to be a part of His kingdom work. Building souls, enriching minds, giving a sense of confident morality, inspiring a heart to believe in the story God has for them to tell is the way that healthy souls are shaped. -Why a sense of cohesive belonging is significant to your child. -Why you can’t become someone of eternal significance if you don’t know who you are and where you are going. 

"In everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:18" Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude. -A.A. Milne, WINNIE-THE-POOH Do your children hold wonder about God? Do they have an imagination that allows them to enter into the mystery of all He has made and all He has done? A Grateful heart is a humble heart, one that does not demand, but receives and then looks for how to give again to others with joy- but it begins by understanding the wonder of being a child of the God of the Universe and experiencing all of the goodness of God's world as a gift. In this episode, Sally and Kristen discuss how to protect and preserve a sense of wonder in our children, how to cultivate daily habits of thanks, and what it looks like to embrace God's will for us to "rejoice always," regardless of circumstance. They share about what it has looked like in their own homes to raise children who are content, how to battle the demands and entitlements of modern culture facing children and parents alike, and how God has used unexpected times of difficulty to build gratefulness into the culture of their families.  What we talk about: -Cultivating a habit of wonder and gratefulness in the lives of our children -What is means practically to rejoice always and in everything give thanks -The importance of learning to see God's personal provision and work in our lives -How to battle discontent, boredom, envy and jealousy  -How to navigate a consumer culture of entitlement in our homes -How developing a heart of gratitude is becomes a source of courage for our children when they leave home -The importance of Feasting and special celebrations -Recognizing Grace in our own lives and serving others from the overflow of what God has given us. links: 1 Thessalonians 5:18- "In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Are there circumstances, difficulties or burdens that drain your heart and soul? Often times, when we are called upon to grow in character and endurance, when we need others to help encourage us most of all, is when we can feel the most isolated and utterly alone. In this podcast, Sally and Kristen want to encourage you and give you tools to overcome what you are facing today by giving FIVE practical ways to cultivate a heart of patience and peace in your own life and in the hearts of your children. They talk candidly about their own struggles, verses that have helped to bolster their hearts and have meant so much to their own families, and what it has meant to them to learn how to trust God's story for their lives.  Then, Kristen is joined by Mom Heart national team member, Gretchen Roberts who shares her heart for ministry and has an exciting announcement about a new membership site called Cultivating Life With Sally that is opening in September!
