Full Time Homemaking Deep Dive, Part 1| So, You Want to Be a Full Time Homemaker?

Today begins a 2-part Deep Dive series on full time homemaking with guest, Jessica Fisher. We are NOT here to give you hard and fast rules about whether or not you should be a full time homemaker. Our goal is to affirm your desire to stay home full time as legitimate and not out of the realm of possibilities. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The WHY of full time homemaking
• How to make the shift to ft homemaking
• The history of homemaking and why it fell out of fashion in the last 60 years
• What does the Bible say? Is there a specific mandate for full time homemaking?
• Common barriers to becoming a ft homemaker: lack of support, fears, money
• What to do before you quit your job
• What to do when you are ready to make the switch

Next week, in part 2, we will talk about thriving as a full time homemaker by understanding God’s design for your homemaking and learning to manage the three common trouble spots of expectations, time and money.
