Today we continue our short series on “Practices of our Faith.”
We often think of religion as confined to certain texts or spaces, and the practices of faith as things we do in addition to “regular life.” But our faith can be so much more — actually, that’s what Jesus’ life is an example of—he challenges us to live our faith—having it guide our life’s purpose and inspire the seeming minutiae of our daily routines.
In this series, we’re exploring just three Christian practices that go beyond the typical practices we think of, like reading scripture, prayer, worship, and service. These additional practices particularly speak to our lives as we move into the busy holiday season—but really, they apply to life year round.
Today, we’re looking at the practice of “household economics.”

Today, we’re looking at the practice of “household economics.”
For the past few weeks, we have been taking a look at some occasions in scripture when people of faith had “holy meltdowns”—when pillars of our faith like Moses, Jonah, and Elijah had big emotions.
Because right now, there seems to be a lot of big emotions in the world. Many—if not most—of us are struggling with something: grief, sadness or depression, anxiety, anger… because life seems to be particularly “lifey” right now, and then add to that a news cycle, and media that seem to play on our emotions, and it’s a perfect storm to create holy meltdowns here and now.
Traditionally, though, the church tells us that "good" or "faithful" Christians don't let their emotions get the best of them. But the truth is, there are times in everyone's lives when they have "big emotions." In this series, we’re looking at these “holy meltdowns” to see how God worked in or through them, and think about how God works through us, too, in similar situations.
Today, we look at Peter and the infamous story of his regret.
