Homemaker Portrait | Rhonda Wax
Send me a text about this episode! Today I’m joined by Rhonda Wax, a pastor’s wife, mother of four, grandmother of fourteen, and a lifelong homemaker whose heart for hospitality shines through every season of her story. Rhonda shares about building a warm and welcoming home, learning to loosen the grip of perfectionism, and finding worship even in the ordinary tasks of the day.

Homemaker Portrait | Hannah Stewart
Send me a text about this episode! I am chatting with In-the-Trenches homemaker and fellow podcaster, Hannah Stewart, of the Sugar and Spice Mom Life Podcast. Growing up, Hannah said she never wanted to get married or have kids, but God used the hospitable families of the church she attended in college to birth in her heart a desire for marriage, motherhood and homemaking. She left home with plenty of skills, but without the correct mindset regarding the emotional and relational work of the homemaker; nor was she prepared for the lack of cultural respect for her chosen occupation. She’s had to let go of many expectations and her tendency towards perfectionism, but in the letting go, God is teaching her the powerful impact of the tone she sets through her homemaking. We cover all the usual ground, so get ready for an hour full of trials and triumphs, tips, recipes and hard-won homemaking wisdom from this delightful and very insightful guest.
