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?

In this episode, we discuss Tim Chester’s overview of food and feasting in the Bible. A Meal With Jesus emphasizes the importance of our daily ritual of eating (and the weekly eating of the Lord’s Supper as the body of Christ). We discuss the strength of eating together in the context of hospitality and sharing the Gospel as well as the overall encouragement that the tasks surrounding food-gathering, -preparation, -serving, and then the inherent tidying up have a vital importance in God’s economy.
