Ep.140 Are You Delighting in God or Performing for Him?, with Stephanie Rousselle

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 37:54

Send us Fan Mail

Can you actually delight in God—not just obey Him, but genuinely enjoy Him?

In this conversation, Stephanie Rousselle joins Candace to unpack what it really means to delight in the Lord, starting with her own journey from atheism to faith. Together they dig into Psalm 37:4 (and why it's so often misread), why knowing God's attributes deepens our joy in Him, and how counterfeit spiritual experiences can quietly derail our walk with Him.
They also tackle identity—why who we are should be rooted in who God says we are, not in culture, feelings, or performance—and how delight in God isn't reserved for the mountaintop moments. It can exist right alongside hardship, fueling the kind of resilience that outlasts circumstances. Stephanie closes with a powerful reminder: God delights in you. This episode is an invitation to stop performing for God's love and start actually enjoying Him.
In this episode:
Stephanie's journey from atheism to faith
What Psalm 37:4 really promises (hint: it's not what you think)
Why God's attributes matter for genuine delight
Spotting counterfeit spiritual experiences
Identity: God's definition vs. culture's definition
How to delight in God during hardship
Why community helps sustain resilience and joy

Ep.139 You're More Equipped to Disciple Your Kids Than You Think, with Christie Thomas

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 28:41

Send us Fan Mail

Do you feel unqualified to disciple your own kids? You're not alone — and you're more ready than you think.

In this episode, Candace talks with Christie Thomas, a former children's ministry director and creator of Little Shoots Deep Roots, about why family discipleship and faith formation happen most powerfully at home — not just at church. Christie shares a striking contrast: a widely cited 2007 LifeWay study suggesting only about one third of kids stay in the faith, versus a National Study of Youth and Religion finding that 82% of kids with spiritually active parents remain active in their faith as young adults. The difference? Parents who walk the walk, not just show up on Sundays.
Christie opens up about the imposter syndrome so many moms feel when it comes to discipling their children, what it actually means to feel "equipped," and why the answer isn't more knowledge — it's open hands, honest prayer, and consistency over perfection. She also shares practical wisdom for what to do when your child asks a faith question you can't answer, plus real stories of kids memorizing Scripture, overcoming nighttime fears through prayer, and families building a spiritual culture one small, imperfect habit at a time.
If you've ever wondered how to raise faith-filled kids, build a Christian home, or simply want practical Christian parenting encouragement, this conversation will leave you feeling equipped, not overwhelmed.

In this episode:
Why home shapes a child's faith more than church programs alone
The surprising stats behind faith retention in kids
How to overcome fear and imposter syndrome as a discipling parent
What to do when your kid asks a hard spiritual question
Small, consistent habits that build lasting family faith culture

Send us Fan Mail

How do you raise boys with strong character, genuine faith, confidence, and a healthy sense of identity?
In this episode, Monica shares lessons from raising four boys and opens up about the joys, challenges, and unexpected moments of parenting sons. Inspired by her book Boy Mom, she shares practical wisdom for parents who want to raise children who know who they are, respect authority, develop strong character, and build a lasting faith.
We explore parenting boys, raising sons, faith-based parenting, character development, identity, teenage years, prayer, social media, and meaningful conversations with children.
Monica explains why parents—not just friends—must be willing to lead, why setting high standards can strengthen a child's character, and how humor and authority can work together in a healthy parent-child relationship.
We also dive into the spiritual side of parenting: how to help children develop genuine faith, why parents must model their beliefs authentically, how prayer can become a natural part of family life, and what to do when teenagers begin to experience spiritual drift.

You'll also hear about the importance of:

Creating intentional family rhythms
Making dinner-table conversations meaningful
Having deeper conversations during the teenage years
Protecting children from unhealthy influences
Helping children develop a strong sense of identity
Including fathers in conversations about parenting and faith
Modeling the faith and character we want our children to develop
Making difficult parenting decisions when necessary
Remembering that it's never too late to start over

Whether you're a boy mom, boy dad, parent of teenagers, Christian parent, or simply trying to become a more intentional parent, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that the way we live may be one of the most powerful lessons our children ever receive.

Ep.137 When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees: Shalene Roberts on the Sacred Battle of Motherhood

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 40:18

Send us Fan Mail

Feeling overwhelmed, invisible, or like you're not doing enough as a mom? You're not alone — and you're not imagining the battle.

In this episode, former magazine editor turned homeschooling mom of five, Shalene Roberts, joins Candace Nassar for an honest conversation about the weight of motherhood — the anxiety, the exhaustion, and the quiet feeling that no one sees the work you do. Shalene shares the story behind her viral blog post, "When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees," and how it struck a nerve with mothers everywhere.

Together, they dig into the deeper spiritual reality behind the struggle: that motherhood isn't just physically and emotionally demanding — it's a spiritual battleground, and the enemy targets moms to disrupt generational faith. You'll learn how to recognize the lies you're believing, replace them with God's truth, and lean into His grace instead of striving for perfection.
This episode will help you:
Reframe the mundane, thankless tasks of motherhood as sacred work
Identify the specific lies that fuel mom guilt and anxiety
Use scripture and prayer as daily weapons, not just occasional habits
Understand your identity as a daughter of the King — and how that changes everything
Find rest in God's grace instead of pressure to perform
Whether you're in the trenches of toddlerhood or watching your kids grow into their own faith, this conversation is a reminder: your calling is high, your work is holy, and you are not doing this alone.

Send us Fan Mail

What do you do when motherhood, grief, and life's chaos leave you too overwhelmed to even form the words to pray?

In this episode, author and speaker Rachel Wojo opens up about her personal journey through loss and motherhood, and how "desperate prayer" became her lifeline back to God. We talk about why prayer works better as a relationship than a checklist, how surrender is a daily (not a one-time) decision, and why waiting on God can actually deepen your faith instead of weakening it. Rachel shares practical, real-life tools — like three-word prayers and prayer journaling — for building a consistent prayer life even when you're running on empty. If you've ever struggled to pray during hard seasons, grief, or the overwhelm of motherhood, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

In this episode:
Why prayer is a relationship, not a religious routine
What "desperate prayer" is and why it matters most in our hardest moments
How to practice surrender when life feels out of control
Finding God in the waiting — and why it builds trust
Simple prayer journaling tips to track your spiritual growth
How three-word prayers can simplify prayer when you don't have the words
Discovering God's presence in the mundane, everyday moments of motherhood and grief
