No, we don't love planning, no, neither of us specialize in this quality some women seem to enjoy (yuck!), lol. We hate it! Ugh!! ;)

...but, the more we do this mom thing, the more we continually believe there must be something to it! There must be something we are missing in an ordered, structured life! We also believe God wants us to be organized and on top of things to properly manage our - and our families - lives.

So here we go. Here's to a new year and here's to us becoming planners!! Did I just say that out loud?!!

In this special episode of the Aligned Mommas Podcast, Samantha Capstick and Nikki Trout share a powerful sermon from Pastor Matt Bartig [NorthRoad Church] that deeply spoke to their hearts. This message dives right into a tough yet transformative question: *If you knew your life was about to end, how would that change the way you live?* For many women, life can feel like a series of struggles—bad relationship after bad relationship, poor choices after poor choices, or moments of seeking comfort outside of God's will. But friends, there is hope.

No matter how far you’ve fallen or how hopeless things may seem, God has a better plan for you, and He offers a way out. Life can feel overwhelming, but you can start fresh today. Psalm 39:4 reminds us: “O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am.” Time is short, and God is calling you to His truth, wisdom, and protection. Are you ready to turn to Him?

In this episode, Pastor Matt will encourage women who may not have been taught how to choose a good man, or who feel trapped in cycles of destructive behavior, to look to God for guidance. He shares how essential it is to know His Word—hidden in your heart like armor, ready to fight against the enemy and the lies of this world. 

It’s time to grab hold of the freedom God is offering. Open your Bible today. Let His Word be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Freedom is right in front of you—don’t wait any longer!

Grab your Bible, listen to this life-changing episode, and get ready to walk in freedom today. ✨

In this deeply moving episode of the Aligned Mommas Podcast, Samantha and Nikki sit down with Michelle Witt, a mother who has faced unimaginable loss. Michelle shares the journey of her daughter Kate, whose battles with Type 1 diabetes, an eating disorder and chronic pain led their family through years of struggle and yet resilience. Her story is one of heartbreak but also one of unyielding determination, as she fought for her daughter's health every step of the way.
