Episode Details

You may have heard that joke if the mother's not happy, nobody's happy. How true! The wife, the mother creates the atmosphere of the home, and a peaceful ambiance provides the best place for everyone to thrive. Katheryn von Bora, also known as Katie Luther, the wife of the Reformer, gave us a fabulous example. She created a boarding house in Luther's former monastery, and she purchased farms to provide for her family, staff, needy beggars, and students. In the context of the dinner table, Luther discussed Scripture around the dinner table, passing along a legacy of his faith. Students later published these as 'table talk' giving insight to the next generation. What what an impact she had. How can our lives have such an influence? Pat Ennis shares how we can make our homes such a haven.
