Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {January 30, 2015 edition} |

What a wonderful week! We hit a bit of an odd, but cool, milestone on the blog, and we were honored to be part of another Christian podcast.

First, the podcast. Our friends Wesley and Denise Skelton host a new program on The Light Network called “Arrows in Our Hand: Parenting with a Purpose.” Last Friday evening, Leah and I were honored to be interviewed for their program and the interview was released this week. We love this new show (and not just because we were on it), and you will gain a great deal by listening and subscribing to what they have to teach through the program. Check out their show archives, including the program we were part of, here.

Then, the milestone. On Tuesday, I got an email saying that our newsletter could not be sent for that day. I thought it was some technical issue that was going to take up my entire day to solve. Instead, it was because our email list has grown so much that we had maxed out our free account with our email client, MailChimp! Though we now have to pay to send out the emails, we are glad for the reason. We are now just shy of 700 subscribers and are thankful for the growth. You can sign up to join the list at the bottom of this post. By the way, if you would like to help us offset the cost of running A Legacy of Faith, we have created a Patreon account, where you can give each month to help us. In fact, we have made it so that you can give as little as $1 per month! To learn more about helping us in this way, go here.

Whew! All that said, let’s move on to this week’s family links!
