Homemaker Portrait | Mystie Winckler

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.I am chatting with homemaker, homeschooler, podcaster, and writer, Mystie Winckler, about her experience of keeping a home over the last 24 years. She candidly confesses that having come from a large family, she thought she knew everything she needed to know and that homemaking would be a piece of cake.I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that her assumptions and expectations were seriously challenged by reality and she spent the first decade or so spinning her wheels in frustration. But God met her in the place of chaos and shattered pride and faithfully showed her what homemaking was really about. It’s not about efficient systems that never fail, nor organized spaces that never get messy. Homemaking is about facilitating life and relationships so that the home reflects the light of the Gospel to a dark and dying world. As we chat about Mystie's lessons learned and her ministry to homemakers, we cover all the usual ground of her beginnings, influences, priorities, hospitality, tips and more. NOTES & LINKSEpisode Companion Blog Post with All ResourcesConnect with MystieWebsite | simplyconvivial.comPodcast | Simply Convivial PodcastYouTube @simplyconvivialBook | Simplified Organization; Learn to Love What Must Be DoneCommunity | Convivial CircleMentioned in this EpisodeBooks by Edith Schaeffer | The Hidden Art of Homemaking and L'AbriTrue Spirituality | Francis SchaefferScrub Daddy Kitchen SpongeSupport the showHOMEMAKING RESOURCESHomemaker's Journal, AoH Seasonal MagazinePrivate Facebook Group, Homemaker ForumJR Miller's Homemaking Study GuideSUPPORT & CONNECT Review | Love The Podcast Contact | Text/Voicemail-use the link at top of description | Website | Email  Follow | Follow The PodcastSupport | theartofhomepodcast.com/support**Buy | as an Amazon affiliate, AoH receives a small commission at no extra cost to you when you use our links to purchase items we recommend
