About this podcast
Psalm 37:3 says "trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness."
In this new podcast for moms from the CiRCE Podcast Network, Emily Hill, Renee Mathis, and Karen Kern will explore what it means to dwell in our homes—that place where God has called us to do good. They will discuss dwelling with others in relationship, dwelling in wisdom as we seek to educate our children, and dwelling at home such that we create a place where our families will flourish.
Episodes will post 3 times each month and will consider a variety of topics related to motherhood, homeschooling, homemaking, and much more.
