Rare but Real

As mothers and grandmothers, we often think our children are our biggest problems - we think they present the biggest challenges in our lives. But actually, other issues loom large and work against us. In this message, we look at four of our biggest problems - and they might surprise you. Sometimes all we need is a whole new perspective.

Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘we will not walk in it.’” Jeremiah 6:16-17. How about you? In these next few podcasts, you will hear the messages from the Biblical Mothering conference. It is my prayer that God will use each message tremendously in your life,...

About salvation. About baptism. About taking communion. About learning to have their own quiet time. Maureen and I had a conversation about helping our children not only understand what it means to be saved, but guiding them as they learn about obedience to Christ, and how that shows up in areas like baptism, communion, and even developing their own time with the Lord. It was such an encouraging a...

Picking up where Chesed and I left off, I had a conversation with my daughter about what her days are like as she homeschools her children.

We were asked to do a podcast on a day in the life of a homeschool mom. It seems impossible to get everything done each day which can lead us to feel overwhelmed by the tasks before us. Chesed so wisely shared that her mom, Sharon Coppenger, told her, "God gives you enough time to do what He wants you to do each day." Such a fun conversation!

We were asked specifically how to prioritize our husbands and be their helpmeets, even in the childbearing years when wives so often feel overwhelmed, busy, and spent. GraceAnna joined me for a thoughtful and fun discussion! 

So this is Part 2 of addressing“hot tips” to being a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Chesed joined me and just like with Maureen, we also had so much fun talking about our relationship!  I love my girls 💙

I was asked to do a podcast on “hot tips” to being a good mother-in-law for your son’s wife. Also, “hot tips” for a daughter-in-law’s relationship with her mother-in-law. Maureen joined me for a discussion and we had so much fun talking about our relationship!  Stayed tuned for a future episode with Chesed 

It's 2023 … Run harder. Be more brave. Have extra courage. Live boldly for Christ. Walk confidently in Him. Don’t be fooled. Be firmly rooted. Become established in your faith. Overflow with gratitude.  Today on the podcast, I share some thoughts for the New Year AFTER I share a little about our Broggi Christmas…

In Matthew 18, right after Jesus explains to His disciples how important children are, He says  this: “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks!” Each day there are more and more wicked stumbling blocks placed in front of children to keep them away from Jesus. On a recent text thread with my girls, one of my daughters-in- law said this, “Satan is coming for the kids and so many parent...

This episode features, my daughter-in-law, Maureen. She reminded us of Proverbs 4:23, and that became the springboard for almost everything we shared during this episode. You will be encouraged to guard your heart by being in God’s Word and shutting out the world’s noise

Chesed and I had a fun, unscripted discussion as I asked her about biblical mothering. Among other things, she talked about giving your children the gift of honoring authority. We took some mothering trails and it was such an insightful, example-filled conversation. And, she reminded us that unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain …

Over the years I’ve received so many questions about mothering. Who should I listen to? Where should I get my advice? What’s the most important thing I should be teaching my children? How do I handle temper tantrums? What about spankings? What about training good habits? How do I stay consistent? And just recently, what about gentle parenting? In the next few episodes, this podcast is going to foc...

On this fifth and final episode (for now) on home education, I share some things I learned as I raised my children. More than anything, I wanted them to be lifelong learners.

As you listen, I trust you will be encouraged as you continue on in the journey of tea...
