Holy Hygge – Jamie Erickson
In Holy Hygge [HYOO-guh], author Jamie Erickson unites the popular Danish practice with the deep, theological truths of the gospel. She unpacks the seven tenets of hygge: hospitality, relationships, well-being, atmosphere, comfort, contentment, and rest. In addition, Erickson shows how the external veneer of a lifestyle can create a life-giving home only when placed under the hope of the gospel. Holy Hygge provides practical ideas for using hygge to gather people and introduce them to faith in Christ. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions, Scripture references, and a prayer.

God's Provision for Raising Children – Stan Guthrie
According to the Brookings Institution, it now costs $310,605 to "raise a child" until the age of 17. Sadly, today's culture views having children as an "extra" today, impinging on personal freedoms. These attitudes contributed to a 0.1% population growth in the United States in 2021. Author/columnist Stan Guthrie says we need more articles affirming how great it is having kids and how God can more than provide the resources necessary in raising Godly offspring. Listeners from large families join the conversation with their personal testimonies of growing up under the blessings of God's unwavering faithfulness.
