I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.In a world of hot takes and subjective partisan media it is very easy to become goaded or feel defeated by the inflammatory stories, reels and    “reporting” that floods our screens day after day. How can we responsibly be informed about what is happening in our nation and around the world without become inflamed, apathetic, or isolationist? It starts by being the gatekeeper of your own mind and home like the Bereans who tested everything, even Paul's teachings, against the truth of God’s Word. Then by cultivating characteristics of an informed homemaker and seeking out trusted sources.These are the steps covered by The Art of Home’s resources released in the fall of 2024 just before the last presidential election. Today’s Monday Motivation complies the top takeaways of those resources.NOTES & LINKSRelated Art of Home EpisodesHomemaking Deep Dive | The Informed Homemaker with Isa Ryan, S21, E3Monday Motivation #8 | Be a Berean; Guard the Gates of Your Mind & Home, S21, E4Monday Motivation #46 | Acts of Courageous Homemaking; Our Foundation, S27, E5FULL SHOW NOTES WITH ALL RESOURCE LINKS: theartofhomepodcast.com/blog search "MM47"Be Our Guest! I'm looking for guests for our Spring 2026 season.
