Have you wondered how to talk with your children about sex?  Or how to create a healthy sexual culture  in your home? Due to the nature of this topic, this will be an episode that you’ll want to save to listen to without little ears around.  Time and time again moms have asked for a conversation on this topic, so I did it here with Greta Eskridge.  Greta is a mom who loves to adventure through life with her 4 children.  She loves adventuring so much that she wrote a book about it!  You shoul...

Preparing Our Hearts for Easter, Revisited

March 27, 2023 08:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MB

Disciplining our children is hard work!  This conversation is with my mom, Connie Burroughs, who poured herself into discipling the hearts of her four children for so many years and has encouraged many moms on this topic of the heart of parental discipline.  Between her four children and my five children, it is incredible to see the many different struggles that can come with training children.  There will be a follow up episode with some specific tools of discipline, but it must begin first...

Choosing Simplicity

January 09, 2023 09:00 - 41 minutes - 28.9 MB

What a shame it would be if we were so busy doing all of the "good" things that we missed the great work that God had for us to do.  I'm so glad to have Rachel Comfort Zwayne back with me today to talk about intentionally choosing simplicity. As a homeschooling mom of 5 grown children in Southern California, Rachel has personal experience with the blessings and struggles of maintaining a simple enough life to allow time for prioritizing home, discipleship, extra curricular opportunities, fr...

Have you ever considered trying something like this?  I'm so excited to share my personal journey with the 40-Day Sugar Fast with you in this episode as I talk with the author of the book, The 40-Day Sugar Fast, Wendy Speake.  What began as a one time an act of obedience with a few friends has now become a yearly rhythm that I can honestly say I look forward to.  I look forward to it with expectancy, not just for physical health, but even more importantly for spiritual growth.  And this ...

Abide in Him

December 19, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

Merry Christmas!  I can’t believe that it is the final week of advent and preparing our hearts for the celebration of Christmas.  At this time of year when there can be so much going on, I’ve decided to spend this episode with you bathing our hearts and minds in scripture.  It is all too easy to busy ourselves so much that we neglect to still our hearts enough to truly abide in Him.   We have so many voices constantly pouring into us, voices from those around us and in the voices we allow i...

Slowness In the Christmas Season

December 05, 2022 09:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MB

If you do not prioritize slowness for you and your family in the Christmas season, no one will.  With so many wonderful opportunities to good things at this time of year, it is so easy to slip into the busy "hustle and bustle" and miss the opportunity for the hearts in our homes to "prepare Him room".  My good friend Michelle Akrami is back with me for this conversation.  Michelle lives a very full life in southern CA with her husband and their 5 children.  Yet with all of the blessings th...

Cultivating Wonder

November 21, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

Cultivating a love for wonder and beauty is both a responsibility and a gift that we, as mothers, have been entrusted with.  Today we’ll be talking about our role in developing our children’s pallets for excellence and I’ll be sharing a wonderful new resource with you!    As always, I love digging deep into the “why does this even matter” of a topic, so this episode will be an encouragement to moms with boys and girls of all ages!   A friend shared Wildflowers Girls Magazine with me for my...

Train Up a Child

November 14, 2022 09:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MB

I grew up knowing the passage about training up a child in the way he should go and was blessed with a mom who prioritized training us in that way.  Even still, that passage took on a different level of importance and challenge for me when God gave me my own children.  To say I believe something to be true is one thing, but to put that value into practice day in and day out requires a completely different level of commitment! I have invited Abbie Halberstadt to join me for this conversation...

Reading Aloud to Your Children, Part Two

November 07, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MB

Reading aloud to your children will bring blessings of lasting relationships that will last far beyond their years at home.   As Christian moms, we seek to be intentional about prioritizing relationships in our home, and using the tool of reading aloud is another extremely useful way to live out this priority of relationship building. In this episode, I will be sharing about various relationships that will be strengthened through time spent in quality literature together. Relationships wit...

Reading Aloud to Your Children, Part One

October 31, 2022 08:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MB

Reading aloud to your children is a gift in all seasons of mothering.  I was so blessed to grow up in a home where reading aloud was prioritized and have carried on that priority in our home.   I recently spoke at a moms group in this topic of reading aloud and am so glad to bring this important episode to you.   How do we fit reading aloud into our schedule? What does it actually look like with multiple children of various ages?  Why make it a priority? How do you keep your kids engage...

Do the Next Right Thing

October 24, 2022 08:00 - 34 minutes - 24.2 MB

This is such an important episode!  As women who want to trust and obey the Lord, living each moment in active obedience is our truest desire, but sometimes it can be so hard to live out. Sometimes doing the next right thing is in the next step of obedience in large unknown circumstances, sometimes it is in overwhelming tasks that seem beyond our reach, sometimes it is in the mundane day to day acts of service that God has placed before us.  Jeanna Young is the perfect guest for this conver...

Sexual Intimacy in Motherhood

October 17, 2022 08:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MB

Parental Warning: This is not a good episode to listen to with your children.  This topic of having a healthy sexual relationship with your husband while in the trenches of motherhood is one that I have had on my list for months.  I was so excited that Zsanae was not only willing to join me for this conversation, but enthusiastic about the importance of this topic for Christian moms in all seasons of motherhood. Zsanae Miller is a mama to 3 children who are 22, 21, and 14 and is a wealth ...

Planning Your Holiday Season

October 10, 2022 08:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MB

I cannot believe that the holiday season is quickly approaching!  As Christian wives and mothers, we have been given the gift and responsibility of managing our homes in all seasons, so let's not let Thanksgiving and Christmas catch us by surprise. My natural bend is to plan Thanksgiving in November and Christmas after Thanksgiving, so you can imagine my shock when my friend on episode 13, "Preparing Your Home for Christmas" referenced beginning her planning in OCTOBER!  I have brought bac...

Vasectomies

October 03, 2022 08:00 - 36 minutes - 25.5 MB

This week's episode is almost a part 2 to our conversation last week about birth control.  I love encouraging you in all areas of living as a Christian mom and empowering you to make the best decisions the Lord leads you to make for your family.  This topic is one I have never heard spoken to specifically from a Biblical worldview and I am so privileged to bring this conversation to you today! We will be diving into so much valuable information about what vasectomies are, what are some of t...

Birth Control

September 26, 2022 08:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MB

Don't laugh that the lady expecting her 6th child is talking about birth control!  While our family has been blessed with many children, birth control has been part of our story over here as well.  My guest this week is a mom who is a registered nurse who began questioning many areas of life that our culture has deemed "normal" and birth control is the topic she will be diving into with me today.  Sadie Gannett is a busy mom to two boys who are 3 and 1 and is passionate about researching s...

Digital Detox

September 19, 2022 08:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

Molly is mom to five children and has lived through the struggle of balancing the use of technology with children, as well as in her own mom life.  You will hear her personal story in this episode as well as the incredible resource that she ha...

Daily Investing in Your Marriage, Part Two

September 12, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

Date nights and weekend getaways are wonderful blessings, but when was the last time you considered the importance of how you are daily investing in your marriage? My guest for this episode is a wonderful Godly woman, Rachel Zwayne.  She is a mom to 5 children between 15 and 25 years old and a grandma to a 16 month old grandson.  I have been so encouraged by her intentional words that she shares about motherhood and marriage and I am so glad to bring her wisdom to you in this two part epis...

Mama Bear Apologetics

August 29, 2022 08:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MB

To train up our children to know, love, and serve the Lord, they must have a strong understanding of what they believe and why they believe it.  For us, as the mama bears, to train our children in these truths, we must FIRST know what we believe and why. This is where the Mama Bear movement comes into the picture! Hillary Morgan Ferrer saw this great need for this generation of mothers to be trained well to train up this next generation and she began creating resources to equip moms in thes...

I’m so excited to introduce you to the first four children who I have the privilege of being mama to.  Wow, 100 episodes!  To say that this ministry has been a blessing is such an understatement, so you’ll have to listen to hear the depth behind that simple phrase.  I say it in the podcast, but I’ll say it again here.  Thank you for your enc...

The Voices in Your Head

August 14, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

We all have voices in our head!  Have you considered the voices you’re choosing to listen to? Are they speaking truth, fear, shame… and where are these voices coming from?  God’s Word is clear that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking those to devour, so we shouldn’t be surprised by this inner battle. In this episode, Jennifer Pepito is joining me to talk about identifying the voices in our head and taking our thoughts captive to make them obedient to the Lord.  As a mama to ...

June 27, 2022 08:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MB

Parental Warning: This is not an episode to listen to with children. In times with so much turmoil in our nation, this truth gives me such great hope.  God could have chosen you to be a mom and friend at any time, in any place, in all of history, and He chose this time and place with these people, because this is where He is going to use you.  With so much going on in our nation about abortion and women's rights in the midst of a month that was already waving celebrations of sin all aroun...

The Unexpected Blessings of Homeschool

June 20, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Ephesians 3:20-21 is giving God glory for the exceedingly abundantly more than we ask or imagine.  I have seen this exceeding abundance to be true in our family's homeschooling journey in more ways than could fit in a 30 minute podcast!  If you already homeschool, have considered homeschooling, or don't think it would ever be for your family but would like a glimpse inside two different homeschool homes, this will be an excellent episode for you. I have invited a friend, Jessi Slater, to j...

Enjoying Nature With Your Children

June 13, 2022 08:00 - 38 minutes - 26.9 MB

One of my favorite things to do with my children is to spend time together outdoors.  That could be at a park, a sports game, or possibly a big adventure like a hike with friends.  I've invited a friend to join me today who also loves having time with her children in nature and prioritizes and plans for nature adventures well.  Kelly Sipan is back with me today!  Kelly has been married for 12 years and has four children who are 9, 7, and twin 5 year old boys.   If you have not heard her he...

Medical Freedom

June 06, 2022 08:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MB

Medical freedom is such a hot topic right now and it is something that our parents didn't have to fight for or be aware of in the same way that we do in this generation.  Stepping into this area of parenting that we did not see modeled for us can make it feel very overwhelming.  But in the midst of the challenge, being informed in how to fight for medical freedoms is important not only for our children, but also for generations to come as we are paving the way for a future of freedom.   If t...

Fruit of the Spirit

May 30, 2022 08:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MB

The fruit of the spirit is something that we're all so familiar with, and have heard so many times, that we may not take it as seriously as we should as Christian moms.  As we are raising our children to know, love, and serve the Lord, it is important that we train them to have a Biblical understanding of the fruit of the spirit. Christie Thomas is with me today to talk about ways we can train children with a Biblical understanding of the fruit of the spirit.   Christie and I share a passi...
