 Ep. 58: Slow Down, Mom with Jennifer Dukes Lee | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 28:38

There is something deeply satisfying about planting seeds down in the soil and watching and waiting and seeing them spring up in God’s perfect timing and producing beautiful flowers and perfect vegetables every summer.  We're well aware that it takes time for things to grow and it takes time to learn the exact right moment to harvest. It takes time and maturity and patience. We know that to become excellent at anything takes years of practice and study. 

 Ep. 57: Here, But Not Present: The Distracted Mom | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:59

It seems like 21st-century moms are spending way more time and energy on parenting and yet the quality of that time and energy is quite low. We’re there, but we’re not present. We’re giving partial attention all-the-live-long-day. We might always be present physically which in some ways inhibits our kids' growth towards autonomy, but can be rarely present emotionally or socially which inhibits their emotional and cognitive growth.

 Ep. 56: Ask Us Anything 2021 Edition | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 53:13

In this candid, Q&A-style episode, we're peeling back the curtain to give you a glimpse of our normal lives. We're recapping the last decade of our mothering, sharing some of our secrets for staying sane during a global pandemic, and discussing our own personal goals for the rest of the year.

 Ep. 55: Discipline that Connects to the Heart with Jim & Lynne Jackson | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:45

Discipline, when given in love and covered in grace and truth, should lead to repentance, restoration, and right living. But for so many of us, disciplining our kids seems like a never-ending cycle of annoyance, frustration, and even anger. In fact, we don’t even like the word discipline.

 Ep. 54: How Can We Pray Specifically For Our Children with Brooke McGlothlin | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:26

"When we make Jesus our priority, we release to Him the burden of responsibility for our children’s future.” This quote from a seasonal Pray the Word Journal from Million Praying Moms surely conveys the exact message we hope to discuss and share with you in today’s episode as we chat with Brooke McGlothlin about how we can pray specifically for our children.

 Ep. 53: Find Your Parenting Vision with Leslie Nunnery | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:53

While some days of mothering and home keeping are really difficult and while it would obviously be easier to settle into the current status quo than to learn and grow in our role as moms. The fact of the matter is, if we aim for low, that’s the target we’ll hit. Instead, our guest today, Leslie Nunnery, would like to challenge us all to raise the bar and find value in the work God has given us to do.

 Ep. 52: The Truth About Mom Fatigue Syndrome with Hannah Keeley | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:31

 Ep. 52: The Truth About Mom Fatigue Syndrome with Hannah Keely | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:31

Today, over 10 million moms will take anxiety or depression medication in order to cope with their day, 29 million moms will yell at their kids, and 13 million moms will sneak away to the bathroom, the bedroom, the closet, or really anywhere to catch a breath, take a break, or to sob. The statistics of mom overwhelm are both staggering and heartbreaking. Our guest today says that most moms suffer from what she calls Mom Fog, or more aptly put Mom Fatigue Syndrome.

 Ep. 51: Chores, Allowance, and Stewardship...Oh My! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:48

Money gives us opportunities to teach our children good and godly attributes and how to be shrewd, faithful, trustworthy, efficient, effective, accountable, and generous. Sure, these can be taught without using money, but our children would do well to learn how they all relate to money. One of the key Christian values to teach our children is that everything belongs to God and that we are just stewards of all that He has given us.

 Ep. 50: When a Husband Won't Lead | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 35:39

What’s a wife to do when she wants to be obedient to the Colossians 3:18-19 mandate--when she wants to submit--but her husband doesn’t seem to want to lead. Perhaps he leads but doesn’t lead well? Maybe she feels he’s too passive. Or worse yet, his leading isn’t very Christlike and appears to be taking his wife and kids in an unbiblical direction.

 Ep. 46: Talking About the Birds & the Bees | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:16

The "talk" doesn't have to be awkward. It only becomes uncomfortable when we ignore it. Talk early. Talk often and create an on-going conversation that continues to peel back the layers at age-appropriate times to help steer your child towards a healthy view of Biblical sexuality.
