The Share Dare

In this episode, I reflect on the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk. While the loss is heavy and sobering, I share a story from his life and a powerful clip that deeply impacted me. My hope is that, even in the midst of tragedy, you will find encouragement and a reminder that light can still break through the darkness.

In this follow-up episode, I share my heart on how we as Christians can respond in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. This isn't just a time for mourning—it's a call to action. One way we can step into the fight for our culture is through something I call the Share Dare . If you're a busy mom who longs to make a difference but feels stretched thin, this episode is for you. Listen in to hear...

Shawna Holman has a passion for helping others to live a life that is "a little less toxic," and she shares in a way that is inspiring and that is not overwhelming.  On today's episode, she shares her backstory which inspired her passion for encouraging healthier living, and we talk about her philosophy for removing toxins from her home. We also discuss some of the concerns I've had with the "crun...

I hope you'll join me today as I discuss the stories of my four c-sections. They are full of a whole lot of ups and downs, but ultimately God was faithful through it all. I share lessons that I learned and what God taught me through my suffering. I hope you will leave the episode feeling encouraged and empowered and full of peace.

Jodie Meschuk is a warrior for medical freedom and has a passion for empowering women to use their intuition and feel confident in their ability to be "Dr. Mom" in their own homes. This was a fascinating conversation that really inspired me to continue to grow in knowledge of how best to care for my family without becoming overwhelmed by the vast amount of information there is out there.  Check ou...

In today's episode I discuss how culturally, we often swing too far in one direction—whether it's the "trad wife" movement, having grace with yourself, or embracing the 'crunchy' lifestyle. It's hard to navigate the social media world we've been thrust into, and we must make real efforts to strike balance in our own home.  

Today's episode with Tera Balog is a powerful story of transformation, faith, and redemption. She opens up about the struggles she faced, the truth she found, and how embracing Christ changed everything. It's a story of hope and healing you won't want to miss.  

I love using popular culture to help my kids grasp important theological topics, and Encanto is one movie I have used in my home to help my children understand how our salvation works. In today's episode my goal is to help Protestants accurately understand the Catholic position of justification and how we really agree more than we think when it comes to "faith alone." Verses Used: James 2:24 Ephes...

My opinion is that homeschool is the ideal option for educating children today. But I also recognize that's not always possible or the best choice for every family. In today's episode, we discuss why we both love homeschool while offering encouragement to moms whose current life circumstances require making the decision to enter the public school system as is the case with Bethany.  Here are some...

Shelbey Kendall is a storyteller at heart, with a deep love for Jesus and family. She's a Kansas native that loves wide-open spaces and pink skies. When she's not writing, you'll find her savoring a fourth cup of coffee while homeschooling her three children, and probably cooking something with potatoes. As the creator of  The Sonshine Sister Club series for young girls, Shelbey has shared her pas...

Life has radically changed in recent months for our favorite recurring guest, Bethany, who is currently in the process of obtaining a civil divorce.

She also offers wisdom from lessons learned in the hopes that sh...

Tollie is living out the Share Dare by bravely sharing her story to help encourage others. Her story of infertility is not one with a "happy ending," but it is one filled with wisdom and hope.  God is always faithful, and joy can be found even when He allows us to walk difficult paths.  I hope you'll join me and Tollie as we discuss her story and how God was present and working in her life through...

I have long been a skeptic of voting the "lesser of two evils." For the past several election cycles, it has been the primary argument for why we should support the Republican candidate, and I can't help but notice, we are sliding further and further toward the evil we are trying to avoid. On today's episode, I discuss an article (linked below) by Ed Feser where he discusses the terrible situation...

There's a lot of people who leave the Catholic Church and share about all the doctrines they feel they were freed from. What if I were to tell you that I experienced that in the opposite direction? I hope you'll join me as I discuss why I no longer believe in the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement, and why I think you shouldn't either. There is a far more beautiful way to view the atoneme...

The presidential election is sucking up all the oxygen in the room, but it is not the most important election on the ballot. There are several states that have propositions on their ballots that seek to enshrine the right to an abortion into the state's consitution. Tune in as I explain how these pro-abortion propositions have problematic language that even nominally pro-choice individuals will ta...

Donald Trump.

Kate Cox's tragic story has been spread far and wide in an attempt to paint the pro-life movement as radical. On today's episode, we juxtapose her story with that of St. Maximilian Kolbe and discuss how our culture no longer values sacrifice. "Hero" and "brave" are now being used to describe those who ask others to sacrifice for them rather than those who make a sacrifice out of love for others. I...

Anyone who is pro-life is probably feeling frustrated this election cycle as they watch time after time "pro-life" politicians offering horrible responses to questions on abortion.  In today's episode, I offer two suggestions for responses that Republican politicians could give that would be far more effective. Do you have a story to share? I'd love to help you get it into the world. Submit here: ...

This election is particularly tricky for those who consider the pro-life cause to be a top priority.  I hope you'll join me as I use the movie Braveheart to illustrate where the pro-life movement is in our current culture and some lessons we can learn from this great story. My goal is that you will leave feeling encouraged that no matter what happens this election season the future is still unwrit...

So many moms to young children - including myself - are concerned about the future our children will inherit.

There's a lot to be concerned about in our nation, and the temptation toward worry, fear, and hopelessness is very real. My desire is to provide encouragement and a tangible way for us women to cultivate change in the culture.
