Summary

In this episode, we explore what it really means to view homemaking through the lens of the gospel. From endless dishes and laundry to the unexpected trials of daily life, it can be easy to wonder if the work of the home truly matters. But Scripture reminds us that every small act, each meal prepared, story read, or diaper changed, can be an offering of worship when done for the Lord. Join me as I share personal stories, encouragement from Colossians 3, and a reminder that homemaking is more than chores—it is kingdom work.

Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast.

0:02.7

I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.

0:12.8

Hey, ladies, welcome back to our second episode here for season five.

0:18.9

In this season, if you missed our last episode, in this season, we are

0:22.5

tackling what does it mean to be a homemaker? What does it mean to glorify God from within our

0:27.7

homes? And how does that look different in different seasons and across different ages and

0:33.6

stages and throughout all of life? In the last episode, we kind of tackled to the fact that

0:38.7

if you're a woman, you're a homemaker, and that might kind of challenge how a lot of us have

0:43.7

thought about homemaking when we think, we tend to think a homemaker is a stay-at-home mom.

0:48.2

I challenge you to think about homemaking as any woman out there, whether you live in a dorm,

0:53.5

a house, you have eight kids,

0:54.6

you have no kids, you're single, that you absolutely are a homemaker and that there are skills

1:00.5

to cultivate and that we can have the right kind of mindset when it comes to looking at our

1:06.7

work within the home and how that changes in different seasons. So today is kind of a short and

1:13.3

sweet episode. In this series, we're going to have so much longer discussions and then we're

1:18.0

going to have some of these discussions where we can just kind of cover more succinctly. And I

1:22.3

really like that because my podcast episodes do tend to be pretty long. I'm a talker if you guys don't know.

1:28.7

And I just always want to jam pack like every single thing I can into a discussion. Like,

1:33.0

I don't want to leave it the single thing out. So a couple of these episodes are going to be like

1:36.9

short and sweet into the point. And I'm excited for that because it's just going to drive home that

1:42.1

specific point. So today we're talking about the gospel at home, finding ministry and homemaking moments. And this is one of the

1:51.5

biggest things. In the last episode, please go back and listen to that episode. Like if you listen to all
