Episode notes

Celebrations and traditions are ways we connect and remember the goodness of God in our lives. For all of time, cultures have built feasts and parties around significant events. As Christians, many of us find profound enjoyment and beauty in celebrations like Easter and Christmas as we remember Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection. And then we have cultural holidays, like Thanksgiving in America or Guy Fawkes in the UK. Most of us have family traditions we celebrate, and the memories and celebrations of our youth have a profound impact on us.

From early on Jennifer and her family began celebrating Passover in place of Easter, and as time and learning unfolded begin introducing and celebrating more of the Jewish Feasts into their year. On this podcast Sarah Ruth of Kindled Togetherness joins Jennifer to talk about the beauty of the Jewish Feasts and their celebration of Christ from the Passover Lamb to the Feast of Booths and the sojourning as we eagerly wait for the Lord’s return.

This is not a religious conversation, it’s a beautiful discussion between two moms and lovers of Jesus about the role remembering and celebrating what God spelled out in the feasts He gave the Israelites and how we can enjoy and celebrate them in our homes today.
