Summary
Sometimes I think that grace is best experienced through greasy pizza and gentle curiosity.
To me, this strategy was not only a home philosophy, but a disciple- ship principle put in action—perhaps the most important one of all: Discipleship happens at every moment along the way—morning, night, and every time in between.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad |
| 0:24.6 | that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:37.4 | Hi friends, it's Sally Clarkson and you are now listening to Add Home with Sally and friends. |
| 0:43.8 | And I am working through, I haven't been back to it for a while, but we're still working |
| 0:49.9 | through the life-giving table, nurturing faith through feasting one meal at a time. And |

| 1:30.7 | into your home. And we talked about the rhythms every single month of the year. But the next thing I |

| 1:57.7 | there are two things. One, the most important thing we did with our children is develop an atmosphere |
| 2:02.7 | of words. Words shared, words thought, words spoken, ideas, books read. And then we talked about it |
| 2:12.1 | all at the table. Eating together was a big deal that every single night we developed fellowship |
| 2:18.0 | and friendship and world view and faith and issues. And so the life-giving table, imagine this if |
| 2:25.4 | you will. A lot of you know that CS Lewis and Tolkien who wrote Lord of the Rings were in a group |
