The Kitchen Table | April 25, 2025
Inside: This week’s Kitchen Table roundup includes a letter to the spouse of an unbeliever, a favorite reminder on the value of small tasks, a must-read from Elisabeth Elliot, and a podcast I’m loving.
Pull up a chair, friend. Here are a few simple favorites from my week—encouragement for your heart and home.
Articles to Encourage You
An Open Letter to the Spouse of an Unbeliever @Crossway
This article from Crossway is a tender and truth-filled encouragement for those married to an unbelieving spouse. If that’s your story—or someone you love—these words will point your heart to Christ and remind you that you’re not alone.
The Enormous Significance of Small Tasks @Your Mom Has a Blog
I loved this sweet reminder from Melissa Edgington about the quiet significance of our everyday work. If you ever wonder if the small things really matter—this one’s for you.

The Heart God Shapes Through Prayer
We don’t always get what we ask for in prayer—but in His grace, God gives us something better. This moving letter reminds us how He shapes our hearts through unexpected answers.
From My Bookshelf to Yours
Keep a Quiet Heart by Elisabeth Elliot
One of my favorite books by Elisabeth Elliot—and the one I always recommend to women just getting started with her writing. Keep a Quiet Heart is a gentle, truth-filled invitation to rest in the Lord and trust Him more fully in the quiet (and not-so-quiet) moments of everyday life.
This Week’s Favorite
The Better Way with Libby Glosson – This podcast has become a favorite listen of mine—Libby shares with such clarity, compassion, and conviction. Her episodes are full of gospel truth and always leave me encouraged to keep my eyes on Christ. Add this one to your playlist.
Quote of the Week:
“Is there a more in my love? Is there something about my love that cannot be explained in natural terms? Is there something special and unique about my love to others that is not present in the life of the unbeliever?”
