Easter Passover biblical feasts Jesus God's promises family traditions Shabbat

Easter and Passover are just around the corner. Do you celebrate Passover as part of your Easter traditions? Celebrating biblical feasts as believers can enrich our understanding of Jesus and God's plan for salvation and they are steeped in rich traditions. As with all biblical festivals, Passover foreshadows the coming of Jesus, our Deliverer and our Savior. In this week's episode, Carrie talks with Michelle Akrami, founder of The Unhurried Farm, about setting time aside to remember God's promises and His faithfulness as well as simple ways to celebrate Passover this Easter season and other biblical feasts such as Shabbat throughout the year. Pour yourself a glass of red wine, cut some fresh sourdough, put your feet up and join Carrie and Michelle for a conversation about celebrating Passover with your family.

Charlotte Mason homeschooling education family lifestyle Amy Hughes

Charlotte Mason for the Rest of Us has a double meaning. It’s for those of you who, for whatever reason, aren’t fully disciplined (you may have failed your own CM habit training), don’t want to be a CM purist, or who have kids who can't sit still for print studies, who make bodily noises while reading living books, and/or who hate tea and poetry.  If this sounds like you, don't feel guilty!  Implementing Miss Mason’s philosophy in your home the way you choose to gives you rest.  This week, Carrie talks with Amy Hughes, the author of Charlotte Mason for the Rest of Us and The Charlotte Mason Unschooling Handbook, about implementing a Charlotte Mason approach that fits your family's lifestyle.  Join Carrie and Amy for a little coffee and conversation about embracing Charlotte Mason your way.
