On today’s episode of Cultivating the Lovely, MacKenzie talks with her good friends Katie Duckett and Jenny Wilcox about holy habits. Together they explain what that means and why they are so important, especially in challenging or uncertain seasons of life. We think this will be an uplifting conversation, so sit back, relax and be encouraged! (Amazon affiliate links are used in this content.)

MacKenzie talks about the difference between legalistic habits and making lifestyle changes out of real desire
How the habits Jenny and Katie cultivated grounded them in their faith
Jenny talks about the joy of self-sacrifice and the goodness of having a God who is the caring Creator
