By Words: Honest Faith Talks to Encourage Everyday Christian Women

Today we’re joined by Jenna Griffith (you might remember her from episode 4 of the podcast) for a conversation on How to Talk to Your Kids About GOD, FAITH & THE BIBLE.

In this episode, we’re talking about how we can lay a foundation of faith for our kids. While this is an important and weighty role parents play, we don’t have to feel the pressure of doing it perfectly — after all, Jesus is the Savior, not us.

Jenna shares from her own experiences and gives practical suggestions for how to center your home and family life around conversations about Jesus. She also encourages moms who feel like they’re carrying most of the spiritual leadership in their home. This episode is sure to blow some wind into your sails and empower you to equip your kids for a lifetime of honest conversations that shape their faith and relationship with God!

Today we’re talking to Brenna Blain, author of “Can I Say That? How Unsafe Questions Lead Us to the Real God.” Brenna shares her story of same-sex attraction, mental illness, and finding God’s truth in the midst of her doubts and questions.

We explore the paths of deconstruction that often lead people away from faith versus the journey that brings us closer to the truth about God, strengthening our faith. We also discuss the importance of asking tough questions and being radically honest, and how believers can create safe spaces within their communities to reflect God's heart, especially towards those who feel unsafe or unwelcome. This is a conversation you definitely don’t want to miss!

I think all moms can agree that postpartum is a trying time with a steep learning curve and numerous adjustments as you re-learn life, being a parent, and living in a new version of your body. Ally shares about how she turned to the Lord in that first year of being a mom, and how God met her in her darkest moments. There may be an unspoken expectation for you to love every moment of motherhood, especially in the church world, but if you’re struggling, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

In this episode, we're exploring how to find the right church for you and your family — and why going to church even matters in the first place. Being part of a community of believers is essential for spiritual growth, not only for you, but for your kids and other people you will impact there as well.

When looking for a church, it’s important to consider things like proximity, balancing being spiritually filled and contributing, and finding a community you can do life with. It’s equally important to evaluate a church's beliefs to ensure they align with Scripture and your personal convictions. 

At the end of the day, there is no such thing as a perfect church since churches are made up of imperfect people, but being an active part of the Body of Christ is an important role we are called to participate in as believers. I’d encourage you to prayerfully seek God's guidance as you find your church, your people, and opportunities for you to use your unique gifts to build up the Church!

YOU ARE NOT BEHIND IN LIFE. It’s easy to get discouraged when you’re in the middle — between where you started and where you really want to be — but today we’re talking about how we can shift our perspective and steward our waiting seasons well.

It’s tough when it seems like everyone else is achieving their goals and having success while you feel stuck. I was processing this and praying recently when I felt like God told me,

“IT’S NOT ABOUT YOUR PERFORMANCE, IT’S ABOUT MY PROTECTION.”

This can be hard to accept, especially when you're driven and motivated. But ask yourself: if it's not God's best for you, do you really want it?

Waiting isn’t fun, but it’s the space between our answered prayers that our faith really has a chance to grow. Are you willing to lean into all God has for you right here in the middle?

In today’s episode, we're joined by Clio Divitis, the author of the newly released book “To Be Human.” We dive deep into the inspiration behind her debut book and discuss the profound discoveries about what it truly means to be human that she wishes more women understood.

We explore how to navigate the tension between our flawed nature and being made in God's image, as well as how the incarnation of Jesus—God becoming human—deepens our understanding of humanity and offers a model for reconciling our spiritual and human experiences.

Join us for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about embracing our humanity, understanding our identity in God's image, and finding peace in the complexities of being human.
