After 3 miscarriages and 12 years of infertility, having a baby seemed like an impossible dream.

Then, to my complete astonishment, God answered our prayer! In the summer of 2024, I gave birth to our precious daughter, Caroline Marie.

Holding my daughter for the first time was a moment I will never forget. Here’s my birth story.

Episode 187

mardi 24 septembre 2024 • Duration 49:04

Ep 187 - Women have been told that men are the "standard of success" and we should do what they do. In the name of "equality" of course. Women have been pulled out of their homes, rejected their fertility, and are killing themselves to get accolades from their corporate bosses.

What if you've been lied to about womanhood?
What if you've been sold a bill of goods?

In todays' conversation, we're talking to Suzanne Venker about the TRUTH of womanhood and what actually makes for a satisfying life.

Is Modesty Still Relevant for Christian Women?

Episode 88

lundi 1 août 2022 • Duration 36:43

Ep. 088 - Modesty is one of those topics that most Christians won't touch with a 10ft pole. It's controversial. It's divisive. It's confusing. It's just hard to talk about. We get it. That's why we haven't talked about it much over the past few years either. That all changes today though. We're jumping back in the deep and going there. We're having the hard conversation.

Don't worry. We're not giving a list of "rights and wrongs" or "do's and don'ts." We're going deeper. We're talking about the heart. We're talking about the gospel. We're talking about when clothes were invented.

Today's conversation is one you don't want to miss.

Episode 87

lundi 25 juillet 2022 • Duration 42:07

Ep. 087 - You read that right. A man has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. This is a huge honor and one any biological woman would be honored to receive. But... no. There isn't room for real women any more. Men have entered the scene and they are taking over. They are literally erasing women before our eyes.

In today's show, we're discussing the sad story of Lia Thomas. A Biological man who recently transitioned into a "woman" and is now competing in women's sports. Many women (including his teammates) are outraged. And for good reason.

Let's unpack this from a biblical worldview.

Ep. 085 - At 19 years old, Kylie Bisutti became the number one googled person in entire world.

She had just won a worldwide Victoria’s Secret Modeling competition, beating out 10,000 women to ultimately land the opportunity to walk the runway in a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

But, the glitz and glam wouldn’t last for long.

Behind the scenes, Kylie began experiencing the emptiness, darkness, and corruption of the elite modeling industry. As a Christian woman, she felt constantly pressured to compromise.

So, to the world’s shock, she made the incredibly courageous choice to walk away from everything. After leaving, she later posted a Tweet that simply said, “I quit being a VS model to be a Proverbs 31 wife.”

Let's hear from Kylie as she shares her story with us today.
