Welcome to episode 22 of Restoration Home. Jennifer and Kris talk about prayer and how to develop a restorative prayer life in the midst of the chaos of day to day life. Life also changes as children grow up, and our illusion of control shifts from fixing a bandaged knee to watching our teenagers drive away for the first time, and truly realising that God alone is in control. Prayer is meditation that allows us to continually stay in the presence of God amidst the lies and fears that would like to swirl in our mind.   In this episode– Learning to use prayer and meditation to let go of fear and trust God for our lives and loved ones Tips for young moms to carve out time to pray and enjoy God The importance of learning to listen to God for creative God given solutions to everyday stress The Good Gospel by the Peaceful Press Saint Patricks Prayer You can learn more about Jennifer here- Jennifer's Instagram You can learn more about Kris here- Kris's Instagram and Refine Retreat Episode sponsored by The Peaceful Press.

Welcome to episode 21 of Restoration Home. Jennifer and Emelie talk about the pursuit of prayer in our Christian walk.

Welcome to episode 19 of Restoration Home. This is a deeply personal conversation between Jennifer and Emelie about the simple, single-minded spiritual discipline of childlike faith in God as a good Father.
