## Resource

Welcome Back Holy Girls! Before we rush into pumpkin spice season, let's pause and let August be August. In this cozy episode of Holy Girl Habits, we're embracing the beauty of the in-between: the long, slow days of late summer and the invitation to be content right where God has us. We'll reflect on 1 Thessalonians 4:11 and what it means to aspire to lead a quiet life: cultivating a quiet heart, minding our own business, and working with our hands with joy. If you've been wishing summer away or constantly looking toward the next milestone, this episode is a gentle reminder that godliness with contentment is great gain. In this episode: Why August deserves to be celebrated on its own The biblical call to live a quiet, contented life How consumerism encourages us to rush through the seasons Poetry, literature, and Scripture for the month of August Journal prompts and simple August challenges to help you slow down "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life..." — 1 Thessalonians 4:11 If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to leave a review, share it with a friend, or tag @holygirlhabitspodcast_ on Instagram. 🤍
