Busy Moms Christian Homes

Motherhood is joyful, exhausting, and full of change. Walking with God helps us navigate every season with faith, patience, and strength.

In this episode, Alyssa shares five practical ways to strengthen your walk with God, from surrendering your frustrations and praying over your journey to spending time in Scripture, talking with God throughout the day, and ending your day in prayer.

Walking with God isn’t another task to check off your to-do list. It’s learning to take every step with Him, inviting His presence into the ordinary moments of motherhood and building a home rooted in faith.

Have you ever wondered if you’re praying wrong—or if God is even listening?

In this episode, we’re talking about prayer, why it can sometimes feel like God is silent, and how to keep seeking Him when you don’t have an immediate answer. We’ll look at the importance of praying consistently, studying Scripture, listening for the Holy Spirit, and being willing to hear God’s answer—even when it’s different from what we hoped for.

Prayer isn’t about finding the perfect words. It’s about coming before God with an open heart, surrendering our desires, and trusting Him with the answer.

Life changes constantly. Seasons change, motherhood changes, and we change—but God does not.

In this episode, we’re talking about the comfort of serving a God who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Whether you’re in a season of uncertainty, waiting, loneliness, joy, or change, His love, goodness, grace, and faithfulness remain the same.

Whatever season you’re walking through right now, you can trust that God is with you and that His plans are good.

As moms, our instinct is to protect everyone else first. But when it comes to spiritual warfare, we need to put our own “prayer mask” on first.

In this episode, we’re talking about praying protection over yourself, surrendering your fears and burdens to God, and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal where you need His protection. From there, you can pray over your family and your home with a clearer heart and mind.

You don’t have to be a perfect mom. You can come to God broken, tired, and imperfect—and ask Him to give you the strength, wisdom, and grace you need.

Hey Mama! We're back into September routines — whether that's back to school, back to homeschool, or just back to reality. Lunchtime can feel a little icky for kids: they're hungry, tired, and sometimes just need a pick-me-up in the middle of the day to remind them they're loved.

In this episode I'm sharing 15 lunchbox notes (10 general + 5 for the harder days) you can tuck into your kids' lunch — most are tied to scripture, a few are just things I say to my own boys. These are things you can write on a post-it, reuse whenever you need them, and keep in your back pocket for the monotonous stretches later in the year when routines start to feel boring.

We'll talk about:

Sometimes faith is hardest when God allows something we love to be taken away.

In this personal episode, Alyssa shares the story of losing her beloved horse, mAJor, and how she came to see that God had given him to her for a season—and then took him away when she could no longer carry everything he represented.

Drawing from Job 1:21, Alyssa reflects on what it means to trust that God is good both when He gives and when He takes away. If you're walking through grief, change, or a season that feels like more than you can handle, this episode is a reminder that you were never meant to carry it all alone.
