Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

Durenda Wilson author of Raising Boys to Men and creator of Simply Unhurried and the Durenda Wilson Podcast joins Jennifer Pepito for an incredibly podcast all about boys. This episode is about creating a space and mindset that is hospitable towards our sons. Their mindsets and energy levels, the way in which they are wired, are different from our daughters, different from ourselves and in a society that prioritises soft, social skills the energy and aggression that little boys carry is often misunderstood and punished instead of being channelled and regulated to help our sons thrive in life.  Episode 94 is a practical guide for raising sons in a world where masculinity has become a confusing subject, and the role of men has changed drastically in the last 100 years. Never before have our sons needed our support in becoming great men, and this podcast is an excellent place to start.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

Submission has become a polarising word. For those of us who were raised under hyper-religious structures in the 80s and 90s, submission was framed in medieval terms. For some, it's one of those things in the Bible, that we simply lay aside as archaic, along with the commandment for women to go outside of the city whilst on their period. For others, it conveys a whole world of hurt and manipulation.  But what is submission, really? Is it necessary? And does it have anything to do with building an orderly, fulfilling, and joy filled marriage? Welcome to episode 83! Emelie and Jennifer begin to tackle some of these questions, and talk about thankfulness, submission, Laura Doyles six step to intimacy, and so much more.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!
