In this episode, we are exploring the background stories of our hosts. How did the influence of their upbringing create a desire in them to live the simple life now? Even though she lives in a perfectly primitive homestead and heats her home with the wood stove, Anne is overwhelmed with the demands of the 21st century world! She craves the Simple Life and Julie is just the one to help her learn it! Living in her saltbox home in Maine, baking bread in her wood cookstove by the glow of her oil lamp, Julie makes the simple life look easy!  In this series, you will laugh, cry and be challenged to reap the rewards of a more simple lifestyle!  Follow us on FB www.facebook.com/embracingthesimplelifepodcast If you enjoy and receive value from our podcasts, please consider making a donation to support our ongoing work. www.buymeacoffee.com/simplelife The following books were mentioned today in the podcast* Freedom of Simplicity, Richard Foster https://amzn.to/3iGTHiN Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, Ron J.
