Jamie Erickson: Cultivating Holy Hygge

Do you often feel rushed and like you're not really enjoying life? Does your heart long for rest and for sweet fellowship with dear friends? If so, you'll be encouraged by the Danish practice of hygge (HYOO-guh) which my podcast guest, Jamie Erickson, discusses in her latest book: Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow. Today's episode of the Christian Habits Podcast (links below) considers the beautiful practice of true hospitality.
What We Discussed on the Podcast How, for the Christian, hygge is much more than décor and creating a cozy atmosphere The three main excuses we use to not show hospitality How true hospitality differs from merely entertaining friends Some practical tips to make opening our home to others easier to do One answer to loneliness (hint: it's not more friends!) Some helpful practices to cultivate contentment Resources Mentioned on this Episode Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow About Jamie Erickson When she’s not curating memories, hoarding vintage books, or homeschooling her five kids, JAMIE ERICKSON can be found encouraging and equipping a growing tribe of mothers all across the globe on the Mom to Mom podcast, through her blog The Unlikely Homeschool, at national conferences, and in her book Homeschool Bravely: How to Squash Doubt, Trust God, and Teach Your Child With Confidence

Hi Robin! That’s neat that you’re moving to Wisconsin! I imagine that will be quite a change!! I hope you find a wonderful community there and that you’ll be able to put your hospitality desires to practice!
