What do you like to do in your spare time?
I love photography (I’ve actually had a photography business for many years!), reading a good book, and showing hospitality in my home. I also love listening to audiobooks and podcasts and travelling with my husband
Where is your favorite place you have travelled?
England! I studied abroad in London in college and have been back to England several times since then with my husband.
What is your favorite book?
It’s impossible to pick just one! I’ll choose two: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.
Lydia Schaible
Lydia is married to Burk, and together they have four children whom she educates at home. Lydia is originally from the Pacific Northwest, and graduated from George Fox University with a Bachelors of Arts in Biblical Studies and a minor in Philosophy. She spent a number of years working in a variety of non-profits addressing the needs of at-risk children, women facing unplanned pregnancies, and refugees. Her experiences therein led her to a passion for the marriage of orthodoxy and orthopraxy and their expression through the home through hospitality and educational philosophy. She is eager to encourage others toward biblical literacy, and to normalize hospitality and edifying friendships within the local church. She currently lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and is a member of Emmanuel Church. Lydia has written for Fierce Parenting and For the Church.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Ever since my mom taught me to read it has been my favorite pastime, and like C.S. Lewis said, I feel like I can never find a book long enough to suit me. As a family we love being outside, hiking, swimming, and climbing. My husband and I fell in love over adventures and it seems to still be our favorite way to spend time together, and now we get to share them with our wildly adventurous kids.
Where is your favorite place you have travelled?
That’s so hard to choose, there are so many beautiful places. But the place I’ve probably felt the most kinship with is Prague, Czech Republic. That city will always occupy a special place in my heart.
What is your favorite book?
I don’t think I can ever pick just one book, so I’ll cheat and choose 3:
The Brothers Karamazov By Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot
A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael by Elisabeth Elliot
