Summary

Register for the 2023 New Christendom Press Conference here.

Welcome to Bright Hearth, a podcast devoted to recovering the lost arts of homemaking and the productive Christian household with Brian and Lexy Sauvé.

In this first season, we're walking through the various rooms of the house with the question: "What are the essential arts and duties of this room? How does this room serve Christ and his Kingdom?" In this episode, we try to talk you into starting a private Christian library—or at least turning your home into one.

and call us to in each room of the house. And so we're
