Ep. 75: Christians and Politics (Part 2)
Season 1 · Episode 75
mercredi 4 septembre 2024 • Duration 34:22
We’re back for part 2 of our chat with Blake Guichet about Christians and Politics.
We chat about whether open borders and socialism are truly biblical, what it means that God is the one who raises up and brings down kings, and what this means for our political decisions as Bible-believing Christians.
Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, we pray this episode will cause you to pray more, search your Bible diligently for truth, and trust yourself to the sovereign Lord of the universe whose purposes are always good, right, and true.

Ep. 74: Christians and Politics (A Chat with Blake Guichet)
Season 1 · Episode 74
mercredi 28 août 2024 • Duration 40:11
Ever wondered whether Christians should vote and, if so, for whom? What about socialism vs. capitalism? Which is more biblical? And how will you handle it if you share something unpopular, and you receive backlash?
We tackle all of these topics and more in this two part series on “Christians and Politics.”
Make no mistake: This is two conservative women grappling with all of these issues from a biblical perspective. We are not neutral. And we believe your theology (bc everybody has one) should dictate the policies you support.
Ultimately, God is sovereign. But He has, in His sovereignty, placed us in this world for our good and His glory in every area of our lives, including politics. We pray this will be a helpful episode for anyone wondering, “How now shall we live?” in this tumultuous age.

Ep. 64: Habits for a Sacred Home (A Chat with Jennifer Pepito)
Season 1 · Episode 64
mercredi 24 avril 2024 • Duration 33:40
Ever wondered how to create an environment of camaraderie, family connection, and meaningful discussion in your home?
Continuing the theme from our conversation in the last episode with the Voetbergs, Jennifer Pepito shares her wisdom gleaned from years of investing intentionally in her own family, but she also shares mistakes and the grace the Lord has offered her in her imperfections.
Be encouraged that you don’t have to “get everything right” to establish important traditions that become sacred and cherished in your family—even if none were passed down to you by your own parents!

Ep. 63: Passing Down the Good (A Chat with Elisha and Katie Voetberg)
Season 1 · Episode 63
jeudi 18 avril 2024 • Duration 52:29
Ep. 63: Passing Down the Good (A Chat with Elisha and Katie Voetberg)
In a world that champions airing every bit of trauma/bad strategies passed down from parents, it’s rare (and refreshing!) to encounter young families who are, instead, holding with the positive traditions of their origin families and being intentional to praise the good (while acknowledging the not-so-good).
Elisha and Katie Voetberg (who own/run our sponsor company, Voetberg Music Academy!) are doing just that—choosing to recognize + pass down the positive practices they were taught without turning a blind eye to the common pitfalls we all face as parents.
They discuss what they love about their upbringings as members of larger-than-culturally-normal families. They share strategies for being intentional + wise with stewarding time with children + spouses. And they speak with maturity beyond their years that they credit to having parents who trusted them enough to apologize + pivot when things weren’t working.
I know you’ll be encouraged + energized by this conversation!

Ep. 62: Christians Parents + The Library (A Chat With Good Book Mom)
Season 1 · Episode 62
mercredi 10 avril 2024 • Duration 38:53
Ever walked into a public library with your children, only to hurry them past the displays in the kids’ section because they’re almost all focused on promoting one secular agenda or another?
You’re not alone. Choosing good literature for our kids--especially in light of the blatant bias many librarians proudly display--can be a challenging task in our current cultural climate.
In this episode, Korie Johnson from Good Book Mom tells us all about how we, as Christian parents, can build relationships with our local library and its leaders in order to make an impact both on the books they promote and on the individuals themselves.
You’ll be encouraged by her straightforward approach to choosing quality children’s literature (it doesn’t all have to be explicitly Christian!) and also her practical suggestions for how to interact with your library community to enact change.
Korie has lots of great resources on her website where she vets and reviews hundreds of books so we don’t have to!

Ep. 61: Is the Child Free Movement Biblical? (A Chat with Jennifer Flanders)
Season 1 · Episode 61
mercredi 3 avril 2024 • Duration 01:06:01
“Child free” is a phrase that populates comment sections on social media, Reddit threads, news articles, and more.
It’s more than a little trendy to at least entertain the idea of forgoing having children altogether.
But is it biblical?
I sit down with my good friend, Jennifer Flanders from
Flanders Family Home Life, chat about the biblical implications of a child-free lifestyle.
We also chat all things birth control and what it looks like to live a surrendered life before the Lord—in every area, including, but not limited to, our fertility.
Jennifer is one of my favorite humans on the planet, and I know you’ll appreciate her wisdom!

Ep. 60: OVERSTIMULATED! (Part 2–Sometimes, It’s Our Fault)
Season 1 · Episode 60
mercredi 27 mars 2024 • Duration 32:39
In part one of this topic, we unpacked why “overstimulation” is such a commonly used term—especially in motherhood—these days.
In this episode, we take a deeper look at some of the ways we might contributing to our own overwhelm. Because sometimes, all those “tabs” left open in our brain, driving us nuts, are the results of too many bad yeses and not enough good knows.
Self-awareness and the ability to admit when we have gotten into bad habits or failed to heed wise advice are both crucial to reclaiming our mental peace in a way that honors God.

Ep. 59: OVERSTIMULATED!! (An Honest Look at a Hot Button Word)
Season 1 · Episode 59
mercredi 20 mars 2024 • Duration 32:19
Have you ever credited your frustration or overwhelm in a particular situation to “overstimulation?” If so, join the club!
“Overstimulation” seems to be the word for mothers on social media (and many in-person interactions too). And it’s easy to understand why with so many things grabbing for our attention on top of a need to love and care for our families well.
The good news is there is hope in the midst of the overwhelm, and we don’t have to be slaves to the things that make our brains feel like they’re full of bees.
In this episode we’ll talk about the reality of feeling overstimulated (it’s not all in your head!) but also tackle practical ways to combat it with both compassion and grit.
Be encouraged that “overstimulated” is not where you have to stay, friends!

Ep. 58: Rhythms and Margins and Vision—Oh My! (A Chat with Lyndsey Mimnagh)
Season 1 · Episode 58
mercredi 13 mars 2024 • Duration 37:38
This conversation will be such an encouragement to any mama (or woman!) with a dream in her heart but no idea how to steward it well for the glory of God.
In this episode, Lyndsey Mimnagh from Treehouse Schoolhouse chats with me about everything from personality traits (how much do they matter?) to working backwards from your end goal to make it a reality (it works!) to DIY house-building (we’ve both been there) to homeschooling (same) and much more!
I know you will be encouraged by her stories of the Lord’s faithfulness to prepare her for the “next right thing” and her honesty about the imperfect process along the way!
