Summary

It's the time of year for new rhythms, school routines, and activities. But that also comes with the subtle feeling of disconnection with everyone going in separate directions. In this episode, we talk about how the invention of the clock, light bulb, and iPhone are influencing each of us at a personal and familial level today. We also talk about how you can identify the core essentials that bring your family together, why less is more, and how to "try on" what works for your family.

Here are some highlights:

How to identify the "less" you need in your life
How to identify what a good 'ole fashioned "sigh" means for cultivating peace and connection in your home
How to battle of fear of "being still" and embracing silence so that you can discern what God might be speaking to you
