The Four Golden S's of Summer w/ Jaymes + Erin Lackey

This week, it’s just us, Erin and Jaymes, and we’re sharing what we’re calling our Summer of Stewardship. As summer gets underway, we’ve been talking a lot about how to better care for the things that matter most in our lives. For us, that comes down to four areas: our space, ourselves, our spirit, and our social lives. In this episode, we share what we're working on, where we're growing, and a few places where we still have a lot to learn.We talk about the never-ending list of projects around the house, why creating a peaceful and functional space matters to us, and some of the goals we have for getting things done this summer. We also dive into taking care of ourselves - physically, mentally, and emotionally - and the small habits we're trying to build along the way.On the spiritual side, we share how we're making more room for prayer, reflection, and time with God. You'll even hear about our prayer closet (which, honestly, is a little strange) but has become a meaningful part of our journey. Jaymes also shares some thoughts on faith and theology that spark a deeper conversation about spiritual growth.We also spend some time talking about community, friendships, family, and why being intentional about relationships is something we're prioritizing this season.Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, a few rabbit trails, some honest reflections, and several book recommendations from Erin that have been helping her navigate life and personal growth.More than anything, this episode is a chance for listeners to get to know us a little better. It's a relaxed, fun conversation about where we are right now, what we're learning, and how we're trying to be better stewards of the lives we've been given.Plus, we give a sneak peek at three incredible guests we have coming up on the podcast that we're really excited to share with you.Join Erin and Jaymes Lackey for our hyper-positive regional podcast highlighting local individuals in Northern California who have a Heart of Gold.In This Episode:Why we're calling this season our "Summer of Stewardship"Home projects and creating a better living spaceHealth, wellness, and personal growth goalsPrayer, meditation, and our unusual prayer closetFriendship, family, and building communityBooks Erin has been reading and recommendingFaith, theology, and spiritual growth with JaymesA preview of three exciting upcoming guestsThanks for spending some time with us!
