56 - Finding Peace and Hospitality through Hygge

Today, we will explore the Danish practice of hygge and how it can bring comfort and warmth to our Christian lives. We'll dive into Jamie Erickson's book, "Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow," and examine how we can incorporate hygge into our daily routines. Creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere allows us to slow down and appreciate the little things in life.

Throughout the episode, we'll highlight hospitality's significance and how it can foster relationships and a sense of community. We'll also draw parallels between hygge and Christian values, emphasizing the importance of rest, reflection, and prayer in our spiritual lives.

So sit back, grab a warm beverage, and join us as we explore the concept of hygge from a Christian perspective. We hope you'll be inspired to create intentional spaces that bring peace and comfort to your life and those around you.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
