Life with Sally

Sally Clarkson

Home is the place where the whispers of God's love are heard regularly, the touch of His hands is given intentionally throughout the day, the words of His encouragement and affirmation pointed to lay the foundation of loving relationships where a woman conducts the beauty of this life within its walls. I hope you will find inspiration to cultivate such a life. I welcome you here!

Nothing Separates Us From the Love of God - Episode #298
"God's desire is for us to experience true joy and deep fulfillment. It must start, however, with the journey into the recesses of our heart. It is only as we release our hold on the things that we think we need to be truly happy, when we open our hands freely, that we experience true joy."

Words are Powerful to Bring Life or Death! Sally's Membership Bible Study #2 - Episode #297

We've been looking into the book of Proverbs recently, and today we are sharing the second half of a particular study on the power of words.

Building A Palace Takes Time: C.S.Lewis & Michael Ward - Episode #296
C.S. Lewis is one of my heroes. I love his writing and thinking. Yet, I appreciate him even more because of his very difficult life. He wrote great psychology of many characters not just because of his imagination, but because of the experiences of His life which taught him to forge through the dark times to strain into the light.

Longing to Find A Way Forward in Darkness - Episode #292
God does not intend us to be filled with anger and frustration and disappointment. Sometimes when we want to blame God, we refuse to see that we have not walked His ways, or followed His paths, and so our lives and our souls are filled up with the world of man, which will always carry with it confusion and grief. How can we learn to instead dance with our Heavenly Father?

Stepping Into His Story: A Shepherd's Meal (Lifegiving Table #12) - Episode #284
Hearts were opened by the simple beauty of bread, cheese, and warm herbed soup as we spoke of the shepherds who had found and worshiped Jesus on that first Christmas so long ago.

The Gift of Us: A Family Day Celebration (Lifegiving Table # 11) - Episode #282
We still have Family Day every year even though our children are now grown and living away from home, and we still begin the day by listing our "memorial stones" together. This practice reminds us not only of God's faithfulness to us individually and as a family but also of the fact that we are inextricably tied to one another, bound in loyalty.

Finding Quiet & Peace as an Introverted Mom - Episode #279
Today, in my podcast, I talk with my friend, Jamie Martin, about her new book called: Introverted Mom: Your Guide to More Calm, Less Guilt, and Quiet Joy I wish I had this book when I was a young mom because I think it would have given me permission to seek some quiet, soul filling time without guilt. It took me years to learn this truth. So many moms I know have said, "You know, I used to think I was an extrovert but now I think I might be an introvert."

Teatime Discipleship: Lifegiving Table #10 - Episode #277
Over time, my teatime habit became a foundational discipling tool for me. Taking time in the middle of a busy day to focus on a real live person and share our hearts over tea or coffee became a way of connecting with other women, with neighbors, and especially with my children—and even with my swirling, hurried self.

LG Table 8: Feasting and Living Out of Grace - Episode #275
Cultivating a lifegiving table is all about helping those who gather around it to know the love of God and to understand His truths, laying foundations of faith that will serve them years after they go out into the world. Intentionally crafting words and messages to share along with the food we serve and the conversations we enjoy is a part of my role as hostess and as mama. Table talks are where lightbulbs come on, where ideas are fully embraced as they are discussed, where love is received as it is generously poured out.

Episode #271: Feasting & Living Out of Grace: Lifegiving Table #8
I've come to believe in the profound importance of snack meals—meals that are easy, nourishing, and restful. They can absolutely save your sanity during those crazy times. But here's another benefit: When you bring beauty and rest into the occasional chaos of your life, you are teaching your children how to prepare for the storms of life and live well through them.
