Hey Homemaker!
We kick off this episode with a few updates and a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Then we jump into a brand new homemaker portrait.
I am chatting with Jazmine Wyland who is making a home with Matthew, her husband of 2 years, and their 17-year-old foster son. Jazmine shares her journey of the past 10 years beginning when she left home to live in her pastor’s family’s basement apartment, through becoming a newlywed with BIG expectations and idealized visions of home that were immediately challenged by the reality and unpredictability of married life. 
Jazmine’s story is a beautiful reminder that home isn’t found in perfect homemaking, but rather in present homemaking. That is, in being flexible, intentional and resourceful to create an atmosphere and a space where you and your people feel at home and can connect with one another whatever your present circumstances.

I am chatting with in-the-trenches homemaker, Amanda Webb, who is no stranger to homemaking in unexpected and challenging circumstances. 
Just a few years into her marriage, her husband, Jonathan, was diagnosed with chronic leukemia, which among other things, prevents him from working a regular 9-5 job to provide for the family. 
They have had to get creative with cutting expenses, finding streams of income and shifting traditional household roles and responsibilities to meet their family’s needs . 
Amanda has much wisdom and valuable perspective to share. Whatever your homemaking circumstances you will walk away from her interview with insight to help your own practice of the art of home.

In a world of hot takes and subjective partisan media it is very easy to become goaded or feel defeated by the inflammatory stories, reels and    “reporting” that floods our screens day after day. How can we responsibly be informed about what is happening in our nation and around the world without become inflamed, apathetic, or isolationist? 
It starts by being the gatekeeper of your own mind and home like the Bereans who tested everything, even Paul's teachings, against the truth of God’s Word. Then by cultivating characteristics of an informed homemaker and seeking out trusted sources.
These are the steps covered by The Art of Home’s resources released in the fall of 2024 just before the last presidential election. Today’s Monday Motivation complies the top takeaways of those resources.

I am chatting with seasoned homemaker of 45 years, Pam Stockdale. Pam was nominated by her daughter, Kristen Howard, who was a guest on The Art of Home several years and ago and who has written a few pieces for our newsletter. 
Pam is genuine, forthright and her love for her husband, home and family is only outshined by her love for Jesus. We talk about her whirlwind romance/courtship and engagement with Jim…believe me , you’ve never heard one quite like theirs! 
Then we cover their time as traveling evangelists, horse trainers, ranchers and even airplane owners spanning 45 years of married life as well as Pam’s reflections on how being raised by her widowed father and some influential women in her life shaped the homemaker she became. 
Through it all, God has bent His ear time and again to Pam’s prayers and provided answers to questions she didn’t even know to ask, because He is that good. His provision has allowed Pam & Jim to "live loud and wide open," staying rooted in the things that matter most.
