You carry great responsibility as the mom when you take your children out into public. Whether you're going to run local errands, on a nature adventure into the depths of a forest, to the park, or to an amusement park, there are ways that you can be proactive to help keep your children safe. I'm so privileged to have Amber Elle joining us for this …

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. Gre…

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 st…

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 b…

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…

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 hear…

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 f…

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, s…

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 pra…

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…

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 sch…

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 re…

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…

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 imagi…

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 privile…

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 t…

The title perfectly defines this episode! This is the perfect time of year to reset priorities and choose healthier rhythms and habits in our homes. You are going to love this conversation with Molly DeFrank about detoxing our families from screens. Molly is mom to five children and has lived through the struggle of balancing the use of technology …

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 encou…

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 grea…

Did you hear my big news? I’m so excited to finally share in this episode! And… 4 of my greatest gifts are joining me for this special 100th episode! 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…

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 i…

If you are a mother, you are are called to lead! Eph. 2:10 tells us that God has prepared us for this calling, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Megan Lawrence is my sister and one of my best friends. She is a natural leader and trained in leadership training as she w…

Burnout, overwhelm, extreme exhaustion... what would you call it? It can come on so gradually through many small events or hit you like a ton of bricks when something major comes crashing down. Regardless of what has led to your burnout, this is episode is going to encourage you and equip you to move forward to a healthier place. Listen, then go to…

This is the most special episode I have recorded yet! This week's conversation is with my almost 93 year old Grandmother. You are going to be so blessed to listen into our conversation about living a life based on the truth of God's Word rather than living by our feelings. My grandmother grew up in a Christian home and I watched her lean into truth…

What do you think of when you hear the phrase “self-care”? Self-Care is a buzzword for moms in today’s culture and I am so glad to be re-setting our minds on the truth of God’s Word today as we talk about what real self-care should look like for the Christian woman. I am excited to introduce Margo Martin to you today. Margo is in the trenches of mo…

We are all called to care for the orphans. What does that look like in your life? Have you adopted children into your family? Have you fostered children in your home? Do you support ministries or families that directly care for orphaned children? In today's conversation, two moms share their adoption stories. Sarah Dykema is back with me. You can f…

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 s…

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 woul…

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 wit…

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 me…

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 …

What a shame it would be if we missed the greatest gifts of motherhood because of the distractions of our phones. We have a new challenge in our generation of mothering as we seek to use our phones to serve us and our families well instead of being a constant pull from our most important work. Whitney Newby has shared ways that she has created some…

Summer provides a beautiful opportunity for us to intentionally choose building relationships and making connections with our children. Whether you're envisioning yourself rolling into June ready for a little time off from the busy hustle and bustle or you're feeling excited about the fun that summer will bring, you're going to love our time today …

Christian moms must stand for truth. To do so, we have to be well informed about what the true narrative is when main stream media is full of so many lies, and we need to be directed how we can stand for truth in a meaningful way. Today we will be discussing this topic in the context of the current infanticide bill, AB 2223. I have Alissa Nazar wit…
