Description

Deep in our gut, we all want to be friends with our neighbors.We want to know and be known –to live in spaces that feel safe and welcoming. We want to be loved, served, and cared for and we want to love, serve and care for others.But society in the West has become deeply fragmented. A new report by Harvard University researchers finds that 36 percent of Americans are experiencing “serious loneliness,” and some groups, such as young adults and mothers with small children, are especially isolated. And that can easily be us, right?How can we fight against the cultural norms of isolation and seclusion and instead forge patterns that will bless us and bless others? Tune in for a discussion about the importance of knowing our neighbors and a few ideas for how to get the relational ball rolling.Resources Mentioned:The Art of Neighboring The Gospel Comes with a House KeyAn Underrated Key for a Fruitful Christian Life: A Rooted Life in a Place

<p>Hello and welcome to Delighted Motherhood, a podcast devoted to delighting ourselves in the Lord and in our calling as moms.</p> <p> </p><p>It's self-evident that motherhood is hard --and in some cases deeply painful. But regardless of circumstances, in Titus 2 Paul instructs young moms to love their families affectionately. The basis for this command comes not from the enjoyableness of the kids, but rather from devotion to and delight in the Lord himself.</p><p> Join Kira Nelson and a host of other moms in delighting in the Lord and in the callings he's given us through exploring a variety of practical topics related to enjoying motherhood. </p><p> Kira is a wife, a homeschool mom to three little boys, a Bible teacher, a seminary student at SBTS, a long-distance runner, a sourdough baker, a tea drinker, and a lover of all things outdoors. Most importantly, she's a Christian who is loved by her Savior and is captivated by His glory every day. </p>
