Welcome to episode 2 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home. One of the most frequent questions we're asked is how we maintain a spirit of peace as a family of five and all we have going on. "How do you carry such calm in your interactions with each other?" wrote one long-time listener. To begin, peace doesn't come without a fight. In this episode, we talk about practical ways you can war for and cultivate peace in your home.  We talk about:  Why our bodies feel safer in chaos than peaceSpecific ways to consecrate your home and use prayer as your greatest weapon in the war for peaceHow to take dominion over what God has given youKeeping short accounts of sin in our livesPlaying the long game when seeing the day-to-day overwhelmThis series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below).
