Episode 115   Guys! I love this episode! We are talking about how to talk to your kids about sex in a joyful and relaxed way, not one laced with shame or fear or even discomfort.   Laurie and Matt Krieg are the authors of the book,  Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World: a Gospel Centered Approach , and we get to talk to Laurie about this book today! This book could feel heavy, challenging...

Episode 112   Friends! I am so glad to have Ebie Hepworth with me on the podcast for the first time. We became friends after I was on her podcast and then we just had to keep our friendship going. After you listen to her story today, you will want to be friends with Ebie too!    We started talking about one of Ebie’s red flags—when people keep their butter in the fridge. Yeah, I know, we always go...

Episode 111   Today I am talking with the comedian JJ Barrows. And yes, this episode made me laugh, but I also cried, because we went DEEP! I found JJ when one of her videos was recommended to me and since it was about growing up southern Baptist and not being allowed to shave my legs past her knees, I had to watch. Growing up southern Baptist myself, I resonated with her story quite a bit. But af...

Episode 110   Well guys, get ready to hear me gush in today’s episode! I fangirled big time over this interview, because I got to talk to Daniel Nayeri, an incredible, multi award winning author, and writer of one of my most favorite books of all time. If you’ve been around at all since last fall, you will recall hearing me talk about the book, Everything Sad is Untrue. This book was so incredibly...

Today I am talking with my new friend who feels like an old friend, Leslie Harter-Berg, author of the brand new book  You’re So Strong: on Grief and Letting Go of My Favorite Compliment .   Leslie is the daughter in law of a dear friend of mine, so I felt like I knew so much of her story. But reading Leslie’s book allowed me to know her so much better. Her...

I loved this episode! I didn’t expect it to be a therapy session but it kind of was. Today’s guest is Katy Joy Wells, author, podcaster and decluttering expert. We had such a great time talking all about decluttering and, far more than that, what drives us to hold onto the stuff that clutters our homes. We talked about letting go of things that we’re emotionally attached to but don’t need to be an...

Episode 106   Well this is a very newsy kind of episode! I have so many fun and wonderful things to share with you that I had to just jump on and talk them out with you today.  First up, I did some reflecting on my book, It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn , being out in the world for a whole year and shared the ways we have seen God work. It’s been so hard at times and yet, so worth it.  In...

Episode 105   Today’s guest is Alyson Pryor, my real life friend and real life wise woman. Alyson is a wife and mom to 5 kids. She is also a spiritual director, a marriage and family therapist, a professor, speaker and now author of her first book!

We make each other laugh—though he’s a thousand times funnier than I am. But what I love and appreciate most abo...

Episode 103   Oh this episode could not feel more relevant to me right in this very moment! I have a house full of teens and young adults, my first child to be getting married and I’m nearly done with my many years of being a home school mom. There is a lot of joy in this time of my life, but also so much change and we all know change is hard. And the empty nest years sure are filled with change. ...

Episode 102 It was so good to have my friend Justin Earley back on the show today!

In episode 102, Justin and I dive into his newest book, The Body Teaches the Soul: Ten Essential Habits to Form a Healthy and Holy Life...

Episode 101   It’s been a while since I did an “Ask Me Anything” episode, so here we are!  This episode is all over the place, which only makes sense because you listeners gave me the topics to talk about. And you are all different and want to know different things. I love that!  So in this episode I shared about hormones and perimenopause, favorite books, raising young adults, my women’s walking...

Episode 99   If you had told me 15 years ago, or even 5 years ago that I’d be doing a podcast episode on masturbation, I’d never, ever believe you. But here we are, 99 episodes into my podcast having a conversation that I couldn’t imagine having. But over the years as I have talked with parents about creating a healthy sexual culture in their homes, one of the most common questions I get is: how d...

Dr. Kelly is all about helping families navigate life with kids who interact with the world differently through things like ADHD.  She came to the US from Brazil as a little girl, knowing...

Episode 97   Well this episode was far more emotional than I intended it to be. Get ready to hear me cry quite a bit as I process a little bit of 2025 with you. And then hear me cry even more as I talk about my hopes for the year ahead. I guess I had some things to process, and you get to come along for the ride. You’re welcome! But I am glad you’re here with me. Really truly glad you are a part o...

Episode 96   Get ready for a short and sweet Christmas episode! Today I want to talk about the power of generosity and how it points us to the ultimate act of generosity, Jesus coming down to earth and giving His life for humanity.  So today I am spending a little time talking about the beauty of being an intentional, thoughtful, gift giver and why I really admire the love language of gift giving....

Episode 94   What an absolute joy to have my friend Jen Dees on my podcast today. Jen and I used to podcast together when we had a podcast with 4 other friends called At Home.
