A Peek Into My Life

Each autumn, we take a peek into each other’s lives, visiting through the blogosphere about our daily routines and homes through a blog carnival link-up. “The emphasis here is on being real. It’s not an idealized version of what you wish your life were like, or what might fit a mold, but the real, day-to-day workings of your world. Whatever season you are in, whatever your life is like,” every post “demonstrates the beauty and complexity of the very special community we have here, not to mention the limitless creativity of God in allotting such unique places in life for each of us.”

kitchen2015: A Peek Into My Kitchen

This year, we’re going right into the heart of our homes for a peek into our kitchens.

From parables found in the kitchen to stories flavored with our favorite recipes, we’ll be talking about the intersection of faith and food this October at Kindred Grace. Watch for inspiration centering on humble hospitality and the fellowship to be found around the table.

Want to join in the fun? Use the hashtag ‪#‎peekintomykitchen‬ to share your own kitchen stories this October. (Guest post submissions are also welcome.)

2014: A Peek Into the Family of God

A Peek into the Family of GodOur annual theme is going to focus on church this year–not in the sense of denominations and worship styles, but focusing on personal stories of fellowship within the family of God. From unique church experiences to tales of the way your church family has been there for you, we want to talk about the Body of Christ in action. But we’re also going to delve into the nitty gritty of church in today’s culture. We want to talk about how we can love on our pastors’ wives, how we can support single moms and dads in our churches, what singles need from church (and is it okay to look for a spouse at church?). We have many different theological viewpoints represented by the writers at Kindred Grace, but what we all share in common is our love for Jesus and the fact that we are a part of the family of God. From the person who grew up in the same church all her life (that would be me!) to the college girl looking for a new church, I’m excited to hear how God has met us in His house, within His body.
