Episode 16: Everyday faithfulness: an interview with Nancy Wilson Artwork

Muse and Hearth

Muse and Hearth is a podcast for Christian women who want to extend the ideas behind classical education and the Great Books tradition into all of life. Too often we leave the intellectual rigor of the liberal arts in the towers of academia, or in the textbooks. But what if we as women, as wives, as mothers, made that intellectual tradition a part of our own habits and our family culture?

Episode 16: Everyday faithfulness: an interview with Nancy Wilson

October 20, 2021 • Lydia Foucachon and Nancy Wilson • Season 2 • Episode 16

Welcome to Muse and Hearth, a podcast for Christian women, cultivating mind, heart, and home. I’m Lydia Foucachon and I’m so pleased to be joined today by my pastor’s lovely wife Nancy Wilson! She is a mother, grandma of a whole passel of grandkids, author, and podcaster, as well as a former literature teacher at Logos School. As she put it, chief cook & bottle washer. Nancy thanks so much for speaking with us today.

We’ll be discussing “back to school” for the Christian woman’s heart. A chance to collect ourselves from whatever summer season of life we have just been in and reset the bar of daily faithfulness.

Nancy reminds us that we really want to be making a habit of a reset on things like Bible reading, prayer, keeping short accounts, contentment, control of the tongue on a daily basis.
