Your wallet tells the story of what you value. Your behaviors declare your beliefs. Perhaps that’s a scary thought for you. If so, the good news is that once you determine why you handle money the way you do, you can take steps to change those behaviors. You can determine what story your wallet tells from here on out.

Our guest today is Rebekah Fedrowitz, a board-certified holistic nutritionist and a women’s health speaker and author. Her passion is helping women identify, combat and recover from stress and hormonal health challenges so they can thrive in their health, life and purpose.

The "talk" doesn't have to be awkward. It only becomes uncomfortable when we ignore it. Talk early. Talk often and create an on-going conversation that continues to peel back the layers at age-appropriate times to help steer your child towards a healthy view of Biblical sexuality.

How can we raise our girls to have a strong foundation of faith, to know the one who holds her heart so she can confidently face the challenges of growing up? The girl who knows she’s loved will never need to look for love in all the wrong places. Today we’re talking with Lynn Cowell about raising girls and how we can help them discover God’s perfect, unconditional love.

Loads of people are choosing to limit their families to one child. But is it biblical? We'll tackle that question in a future episode. But for today, we’re talking about the dynamics that different family sizes bring into play and how they affect our parenting styles.

As mothers of girls, we're trying to raise up strong, Godly women in an ungodly world. A large part of who our daughters will become is deeply connected with what we model for them. We’re a blueprint. They watch how we dress, how we act, how we treat others. They’ll listen as we talk to our friends, our husband, our not-so-loving neighbors. They’ll pay attention to what we do, not what we say to d...

Nothing we do is more important than prayer, and time on our knees will bear more fruit in our children’s lives than any other activity we engage in. Prayer is powerful and the sooner we learn to harness its incredible power correctly, the better. It’s the best investment we can make in anyone’s life, especially in our children's.

In today’s culture, families struggle to find the time and the urgency to be in the Word together. Today, we are joined by Ruth Chou Simons, bestselling author, artist, entrepreneur, speaker, and mother to six boys who will help us build a Biblical foundation that will shape our family for eternity.

Our theology, or lack thereof, doesn’t just affect our eternity. It also affects our today. Simple, childlike faith is the start. But as you develop a deep relationship with God, it stands to reason that you’d want to know Him better--who He is and what He does. Theology is not for the Christian elite. It is for moms like you and me. The truth is, if we’re not living with right theology, chances a...

Some folks prefer to call it Morning Basket, Morning Meeting, others who maybe choose to slot it at other times in the day instead of the morning have been known to call it Symposium or Power Hour.

It seems that everyone has caught t...

Raising teens can be both tricky and tremendously exciting at the same time. Your teen is dealing with hormones he or she hasn’t dealt with before. They might feel insecure or maybe because of social media, they’re being pressured to be cool. They are beginning to wake up to the reality of the world around them and starting to figure out what they love to do and what they’re good at.

In this episode, we're talking about the real issues we’re all facing right now in the midst of dealing with Covid-19 and how that affects us as moms. As hectic as it may seem, with all the change and upheaval and news reports to digest every day, we can find the silver lining if we look for it.

To round out our three-part series of the working mom, we want to focus on a category of mothers who tends to get overlooked or perhaps, not considered when she is seen in the workforce or doing both working from home, working outside the home and raising a family. This is the woman who is working when that wasn’t necessary “the plan,” or the vision her family had made a choice for when considerin...
