S3 Ep. 44 Feminism has hurt women, in Christian Conservative circles, this reality is not hard to acknowledge. But, for the rest of the secular world, this is not a natural realization.

This book is not a pitch to go back to the Victorian Era, but an appeal to move on from...

S3 Ep. 37 In our modern culture, mindset is talked about. A  LOT!  As women of God, we must go straight to the Bible when we are faced with the pressures and stresses of life. In this episode, we discuss how to adopt and achieve a mindset that is glorifying the Lord, honoring your husband and inspiring your children! It is easier said than done, but it can be. Things I am Loving: My night routine...

S3 Ep. 36 Celebrating the big and small wins in a family sets a tone of “being seen.” Even as moms, we desire to be recognized and seen for our efforts.

What if your home became a place where those wins...

S3 Ep. 33 If you’re married, chances are, you have a mother-in-law. Let’s talk about that.  When I was a teenager, I began to realize most MIL and DIL relationships were tense and unwelcoming: I knew I wanted something different for myself. When I was a young bride, my mom told me that over time, I would begin to appreciate the way my in-laws conducted themselves, even if it was different from me....

S3 Ep. 32 Something near and dear to my heart: family worship.  Whether it’s gathering to read Scripture, worship through song, or simply stopping our busy lives to pray together, having that intentional time as a family has been an anchor for us over the years. 1 Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” This practice has evolved in our ho...

S3 Ep. 31 “Blah” is a word I have used to describe my walk with the Lord in seasons of my life. Of course, He is not “Blah” but my pursuit, my intimacy, my reliance on Him, my daily worship of Him and my attention to His will turns lukewarm. We are called to love Him with our heart, soul and MIND. Typically, our minds crave what we are already eating. If we consume things of this world, our minds...
