Whole Family Mission

The first place we should be creating disciples is within our home - as parents, it's our privilege and responsibility to disciple our children. The best way to do that is by being an example of a life lived for Christ. And the best way to do that, is to have a hunger for studying the Word. The more we study and know the Word of God, the better we are able to impart a firm foundation of faith and...

As we continue through our series on Biblical Literacy, we dive into how our confidence builds the more we study the Word. When we learn more about who God is, our foundation of faith builds. Even more importantly, we remember that the God we read about is still the same God today - and that should give us confidence!

How do you find true rest? I'm talking about the kind of rest and peace that sustains you through the valley AND mountaintop seasons. The kind of rest that others look at your life and ask you how you seem to be handling it so well. That kind of rest only comes from surrendering to the Lord. And the only way we can truly surrender to the Lord is to build a relationship with Him. You can't build a...

Well, hellllo, my friends! This episode has been a long time in the making. Meaning, God gave me this topic MONTHS ago and I hesitated, I doubted, I allowed distraction to keep from what He was asking me to do. Biblical literacy is vital for all believers, yet why have most of us never heard of it or really understand what it is and how to pursue it? Press play now to hear how my pursuit of biblic...

Did you know God had a specific design in mind for all people, for men and women specifically, and for marriage? I will be honest, this conversation immediately shifted something in my life and in my marriage. I feel like I got an hour of free counseling so I cannot wait to invite you to receive the same gift. Special guest Pastor Larry Hayward is a family and marriage counselor and founder of Har...

Happy New Year! We're back at it for 2026 on the Whole Family Mission podcast and I'm pumped to see how God is going to move. This episode is NOT a 1,2,3 guide to creating and achieving your goals.

Can't believe this is my LAST episode of 2025 as the Lord has nudged me to take December off. Join me as I reflect on the launch of this podcast and the series of events that unfolded as I continued to step out in obedience to release 30 episodes this year. I am choosing to celebrate God's goodness even when my circumstances to make sense. I am also celebrating ALL OF YOU! Thank you to all my list...

As we continue in this series, I was delighted to invite Jessica Dahl back onto the podcast to talk about how she and her family practice a lifestyle of gratitude and therefore, celebration. (check out ep. 14 for our first episode together) Why is gratitude important? How does it remove barriers to joy and celebration? Tune in to hear wise words from Jess as she shares her heart and the truth of G...

We all celebrate differently, but what's important is to not stop celebrating. As believers, we choose to celebrate God's goodness even in hard seasons. Join my sister, Sarah Pehrson, and I as we gush over the things that light us up like colors, quilting, and words of affirmation hehe! Sarah is not only a great big sister, but she has also led her women's ministry team for over a decade and desig...

As we start a new series on The Art of Celebrating, I couldn't think of a better person to speak on practicing praise through hard seasons than my sister, Martha Reid. This series is purposely NOT focused on the major holidays, but instead, on how to cultivate a heart of celebration. To shift our mindset to one of joy, to choose to find the small things to celebrate with others and ourselves. To k...

Part 2 of The Art of Savoring Life takes the conversation into what I call "Act 2" of life...you know, the messy middle with young kids and aging parents, career ups and downs, and the deep joys and sorrows of daily life. I got to cozy up on the couch with one of my besties, Rachel Distelrath, to talk about how she has learned to savor each day. We get into A LOT, like her journey into sobriety, l...

We have a return guest, friends! My husband, Mike, joins me again on the podcast to talk about ways to simplify your season. Whether you're in a waiting season (spouse, baby, job, dream) or in a sorrowful/suffering season or perhaps even in an abundant season, God wants to use you now, in this current season of your life. Tune in to hear relevant stories from our lives individually and as a family...

Part 3 of The Art of Simplifying: Speech. Man, God really does orchestrate all things for His glory. He gave me these topics weeks ago and to have this one land the week following the assassination of Charlie Kirk is astounding. Our words matter. How we speak matters. This episode leans on James 3 "Taming the Tongue" as a scriptural basis for being intentional with our words, how we communicate, a...

Part 2 of a 4-part series on simplifying our lives. This episode is all about simplifying our schedules . I share some life updates up front, including a new salad my son made up and devoured (let me know if you'd try it after you hear the ingredients!). The first step in the art of simplifying is always prayer. Pray and seek the Lord. When it comes to your schedule, be honest with yourself as you...

This is PART 1 of a 4-part series, The Art of Simplifying. This first episode gets into the one most of us are constantly battling: stuff. I am in the struggle with you. This is the episode I NEED so I know it will benefit you. While I do touch on some practical steps to take in simplifying your stuff, I get into the root of WHY we have so much stuff. I draw attention to Jesus' words to "store up...

We have to come before him DAILY to be reminded of who He is and in light of that, who WE are. When we practice dwelling in Him, we free up our capacity to be available to our spouse, our children, and our community. If you have ever felt stuck in the mental load, stuck in the daily grind, stuck in discontentment, you need to press play right now! Tune in to hear me use "50 First Dates" as an anal...

My 7.5-year-old daughter, Lucy, has been asking to be on the podcast and it finally happened! When I asked her what she wanted to talk about, she said, "What moms and daughters can do together." We've been sitting under a blanket outside at night so this time we decided to hit record to bring you into our little world. Lucy shares ideas of ways to spend time together (works for dads and sons, too)...

This is a big one - all about OBEDIENCE. We're taking a look at Jonah's disobedience when God called him to Ninevah. He hopped on a ship to sail as far away as possible, then he hid in the bottom of the ship during the storm that he caused by his disobedience! The good news is that God is a God of redemption and if He can redeem Jonah's disobedience for His glory, He can certainly redeem ours. In...

Super pumped to have FINALLY sat down with my sister and built in best friend, Jessica Dahl, to chat about how we can honor God with our physical bodies. Jess is a wife, mother of 2 (13 & 10), marketing and communications professional, AND a health & fitness coach.

Are you walking through grief or suffering? Do you long to walk in the "joy of the Lord" but aren't quite sure what that means or how to do it? Tune in as we walk through Nehemiah 8:10: "Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strengt...

I had a blast chatting with my friend, Tiffani Zale, all about how we identify and live out the purpose for our marriage. We get into specific resources (books, spiritual gifts inventory, mentorships) and why it's so important for Christian marriages to be intentional and Christ-centered. Tiffani and her husband, Brian, led a young marrieds small group for 8 years and are now marriage mentors. Tun...
