Podcast Blog: S6, E6 - Gina Romero, Welcome to a Christian Home

When I wrote my book, "Unison Parenting," I felt it fit into the vein of practical faith because our faith life should start with what we do at home. Gina Romero feels the same way.

Romero is a Christian author, podcaster, and speaker focused on helping women make their home life into a form of ministry and worship. She hosts the Welcome Home podcast and wrote the award-winning book, “Welcome Home: A Guide to Homemaking, from the Heart.”

The Selah Award-winning Practical Faith Academy Podcast from Cecil Taylor Ministries presents guests who have important things to say about putting your faith into practice. Cecil interviews each guest to understand their life stories and their ideas for living a seven-day practical faith.

In this episode, Romero shares her thoughts about putting faith into practice and reflecting that faith in our homes. She offers realistic views on unique pressures on women while striving for best possible outcomes in your home life; Romero gives hope and reassurance that you can make your home and family better, even if the results are not as neat and tidy as you see on social media. Romero also talks about how to discern God’s voice and leadership as you make decisions in your life.

One of the ideas I got from this episode is how we don't need to expect constant perfection of ourselves just because someone has posted a brief moment of perfection on social media. Still, we have an opportunity to do much better in ordering our homes, reflecting the order God brings out of chaos.
