The Greta Eskridge Podcast

As soon as I saw the title of the upcoming book by Dr. Thom Rainer, I knew I had to have him on the show. He told me right away to call him Thom and it was easy because he’s friendly and down to earth. But his newest book, “The Anxious Generation Goes to Church” is anything but down to earth. It is a compelling, well researched and fascinating look at what our kids are navigating with church invol...

Well, cue all the tears, team. This episode is full of them.  It felt like it was time for a life update, so this episode catches you up on all the big happenings and some of the littler ones too.  The biggest one is our eldest son’s engagement to the love of his life, and a girl he’s known since they were both 5. It’s the sweetest story and I loved sharing some of it with you in this episode.  Th...

It's almost summer, so let’s talk about one of my favorite ways to pursue intentional connection with our kids and friends—having a book club! Reading books together has been one of the most connecting activities for me since I was a little girl and my mom read aloud with me. It has remained that in my life until now, as I have read books with my kids and with my friends. And then what has tak...

Friends, I was on the verge of tears, or actually crying, for this whole episode. The conversation is so dear to my heart, and it is so important. I wish I never had to share this information with you, but since I do, I am so glad I get to do it with today’s guest, Rosie Makinney. I’ve wanted to have Rosie to be on my podcast before I ever even had one! That’s just how much she inspires me; how mu...

My guest today is Eryn Lynum: master naturalist, author, bible teacher, home schooling mom, and podcast host. Friends, she’s incredible! And this episode with her is just so fun! We had the best time talking about nature and seeing God at work there.  Eryn’s love of nature and God’s word have taught her much about the importance of pursuing rest. But this learning actually began when Eryn was a yo...

Today’s guest, Josh Thurman, has a pretty remarkable bio—from being a dad to 6 to a Navy Seal, he’s one amazing guy. But one of the things he’s very proud of and we can all be very grateful for, is his involvement as a co-founder in a brand-new company called Angel Q.  Angel Q exists to keep kids safer online by using AI as a buffer and guide while kids are online. Unlike other browsers that have...

It's time for another episode where it’s just me and you chatting about all kinds of things—from my favorite dish to bring to a potluck, the one of the most impactful books I’ve ever read to my kids and all sorts of things in between!  This is a fun and insightful episode, albeit kind of random. And I can’t decide if my ability to talk about practically any subject at length is my superpower,...

Home schooling mom of 10, podcaster, author of 2 beloved books and pickleball champion.   One of the things I love about Abbie is that she is vocal about her how much she loves spending time with her teens. Like me, she really enjoys the teen years and has made it a bit of her personal mission to remind the mamas with littles that the goodness doesn’t stop the moment their kids hit puberty.  So in...

Oh friends, this episode is a dream come true! The incredible and dear, the epic, the lovely, the legend, the truly wonderful Sally Clarkson is on my show!  I “met” Sally when I was 19 years old, through one of the books she wrote about homeschooling. I was babysitting a homeschooling family and found one of Sally’s books on their bookshelf. After the kids went to bed, I began to read and I’ve bee...

Friends, there is so much great information in this episode! I am thrilled to share it with you. Today I get to talk with Parker Hymas of Fight the New Drug. I didn’t think I could be a bigger fan of this organization but after this episode, I am!!  They are not fighting porn in a timid and embarrassed way.  They are bold and brave in their message. But also speak with compassion and true care for...

So this episode starts in what appears to be the new way I begin podcasts now--messing up my guest’s last name. Guys! This is becoming a real problem for me. Insert palm to forehead. But my guest Christina Franco handled it just fine. And you might know Christina Franco better by her Instagram name, Rooted Home Life. Christina is a home schooling mom, a content creator on Instagram and you tube, a...

Today’s guest is my internet friend, Elizabeth Parsons.
