Does it really matter whether you do the dishes or the laundry? I used to think it didn’t. After all, it’s not a sin to leave them undone… right?
Hi, I’m Mystie Winckler—homemaker, homeschool mom of five, grandma, and author of Simplified Organization: Learn to Love What Must Be Done. In this episode of Simply Convivial, I share how the Lord used business books, homemaking frustration, and a deep dive into the epistles to convict and reframe my understanding of good works—including the ordinary ones like wiping counters and folding laundry.
If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering whether the daily chores really matter, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what happens when you stop asking if it’s a sin to skip housework—and start asking whether it’s a good work God prepared for you.
