Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

What if hospitality isn't about having a perfectly clean home, elaborate meals, or an always-ready guest room? What if hospitality is simply creating a home where people feel welcomed, loved, and cared for? In episode 197 of the Restoration Home Podcast, Jennifer Pepito talks with Mystie Winckler about creating a hospitable home while homeschooling, managing the daily rhythms of family life, and cultivating an environment where relationships can flourish. Mystie shares wisdom from her new book on hospitality, encouraging women to see their homes as places of welcome and ministry. Together, Jennifer and Mystie discuss how simple rhythms, household systems, and intentional habits can create more peace and margin for loving our families and serving others. After nearly 30 years of homeschooling, Jennifer has seen that the most meaningful parts of education often happen around the table, in the kitchen, while caring for others, and through the everyday work of home life. This conversation connects beautifully with the themes from Jennifer's book, Habits for a Sacred Home, where she explores how small, faithful practices can transform our homes into places of peace, connection, and spiritual formation and from Mystie's new book, Home is for Hospitality.
