December 10, 2020 02:29 - 55 minutes - 25.5 MBA Covid Christmas. Like it or not, that's the Christmas we're all getting this year. It isn't the Christmas we asked for. It certainly isn't the Christmas we all want, but it's the reality we're all dealing with, some of us more deeply than others. We confess...we've been thinking of the change to 2021 with a certain amount of longing. Maybe, at least on a subconscious level, we all have.

032 - Real Talk About Suicide with David Thomas
December 17, 2019 13:00 - 40 minutes - 18.8 MBToday's episode is so very important.

Even when we are crystal clear on what kind of mother we want to be, becoming a mom doesn't mean we should lose our original mission as a child of God. Becoming a mom really DOES change a woman. It changes her body, her emotions, her priorities, and even sometimes her entire direction in life...but it shouldn't change her mission. Join us today as we chat with Michelle Myers, ...
030 - Raising Boys Who Respect Girls (Dave Willis)
December 03, 2019 13:00 - 46 minutes - 21.2 MBThere's a push in our culture today to elevate women over men. People say, "The future is female" speaking to the idea that as we progress women will have more and more influence. We're not saying it's wrong for women to have influence, just that God made both sexes to work together for His glory. The future doesn't exclude males, and the call for men to treat women with a respect that honors God is independent from cultural norms. It can be a confusing time for boys, as they try to juggle...

028 - How to Maximize Your Prayer Life with Fasting (Wendy Speak)
November 19, 2019 13:00 - 51 minutes - 71.3 MBSugar doesn't make a mom sweet. What would you be willing to give up to experience the presence of God in your life again? Especially in the every day moments of motherhood? Many of us sign up for a physical detox program, thinking that if our bodies are healthier, then we're healthier. But a healthy body doesn't do us a lot of good if we are spiritually malnourished. Fasting and prayer actually go hand-in-hand to connect our hearts to the heart of God in a powerful way. But don't be ove...

025 - How Our Purpose in Marriage Extends to Our Mission as Parents (with Jennifer and Aaron Smith)
October 29, 2019 12:00 - 45 minutes - 20.9 MBMost people, at least in the United States, marry for love and because they want to be happy and share their lives with someone. But according to Aaron and Jennifer Smith, authors of Marriage After God: Chasing Boldly After God's Purpose for Your Life Together, the purpose of Christian marriage is much more than just that. Intentionally choosing to prioritize our marriage once we're parents is difficult at best. Small humans require lots of time and energy, and often leave their parents wi...
024 - Learning to Put Jesus First in Your Own Life (Katie Orr)
October 22, 2019 12:00 - 49 minutes - 22.5 MBAs Christian moms, we all want to prioritize making sure that our kids know and love Jesus...at least as much as it depends on us...but we forget that one of the best ways, if not THE best way to do this is to make sure our own relationship with Christ is growing first. This is one of the hardest things to do during a time when we most need it. There are so many things vying for our attention as moms. Even before we get out of bed it can feel like our to-do lists are overwhelming. Who ...

October 08, 2019 12:00 - 32 minutes - 14.7 MBWhat kind of effect does it have on a young mind when they're living for the next like? How does having constant access to their peers likes and dislikes, words of encouragement or discouragement, and touched up pictures affect the way our children see and understand themselves? How does a caring parent make decisions about when and whether to allow their children to enter the "reality living" rat race when we often struggle with it ourselves as adults? Join Brooke and Erin as they cha...

October 01, 2019 12:00 - 44 minutes - 20.2 MBAnxiety among girls is at epidemic rates.

She urged women to give no thought to their appearance and said that any time and money spent on physical appearance was at the very least shameful and could also be sinful. But that's...

It was literally birthed in a closet during a hurricane…and we don’t just mean figuratively (although the “hurricane of motherhood” certainly contributed to the message!). Since that time, they've matured, and their kids have matured. They've learned a lot of things about hope, one of which is that we always need it. Weariness comes and goes in cycles.
