In this Formation Conversation, Kyle sits down with Charity Peter wife, mom, preschool teacher, and PTO president who’s learning how to follow Jesus with boundaries, margin, and real joy.
Charity shares what’s been changing in her life through our Practicing the Way journey: learning that Sabbath is meant to be delight, not pressure; choosing rest with God instead of escaping; and creating space to hear God’s voice by living with more intention (her word of the year: “no”).
You’ll hear Charity talk about:
Why she deleted Instagram (and what it revealed in her heart)
How to recognize when you’re not resting, you’re escaping
“Spontaneous Sabbath” and learning to slow down without perfect prep
Confession + Scripture as life-giving practices
How God has been stirring her heart for the poor through her kids’ school
A simple challenge: offer God your favorite part of the day
At White Oak, formation means being formed into the image of Christ for the sake of others and Charity’s story is a grounded picture of what that can look like in real life.
