Friendship and Faith: Hygge Living and the Gospel | Jamie Erickson

By now, a lot of us have heard about hygge and its appeal of being the opposite of rushing and fast-paced living. Hygge embodies the gifts of rest, slow living, shared moments, and fostered friendships. It’s sitting by the warm and inviting fire and enjoying candles and fresh baked goods. Our guest today, Jamie Erickson, author of the book, Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and The Gospel to Grow, is going to share with us what exactly hygge is and how that kind of lifestyle can bring people together and introduce them to faith in Christ.
