By Words: Honest Faith Talks to Encourage Everyday Christian Women

In today’s episode, we're joined by author Caroline Saunders, who shares insights from her inspiring children's books, The Story of Water and The Story of Home. Caroline dives deep into the inspiration behind these incredible stories, explaining how they bring profound biblical concepts to life for young readers and women alike. Discover the beauty of the theology of home, explore God's character through the lens of home, and understand how this theology applies to our roles as women and our relationship with our Creator. Caroline also delves into the idea of homesickness and offers hope for those healing from past hurts. You won’t want to miss this conversation on embracing God's heart for home and cultivating a life that honors His divine design!

Caroline Saunders is a writer, Bible teacher, pastor's wife, and mother of three who believes in taking Jesus seriously and being un-serious about nearly everything else.

Caroline has written two Bible studies for teen girls (Good News: How to Know the Gospel and Live It and Better Than Life: How to Study the Bible and Like It, LifeWay Girls), two picture books for ages 4-8 (The Story of Water and The Story of Home, B&H Kids), and a retelling of the books of Joel, Amos, and Jonah for elementary readers called Sound the Alarm.

Living in gratefulness is more than just keeping a gratitude journal or counting your blessings around the Thanksgiving table. Today Kristi Nelson, author of Wake Up Grateful, is sharing her story and teaching us about the deeply transformative practice of embracing the “great fullness'“ of life. Many of us are waiting for good things to happen so we have something to be grateful for, but the truth is: When we greet each moment gratefully, we are always receiving. And as Kristi says, “You don’t need to wait for a thing. You just need to be awake to the fact that life is a gift.”

Christopher and I celebrated 6 years of marriage this week! We’ve definitely had our share of struggles and made plenty of mistakes, but what’s held our marriage together through the hard times is our commitment to the Lord and to each other. We hope this episode encourages you (or at least makes you laugh) and reminds you just how precious marriage is. Christopher and I believe that it’s truly a gift that we get to pursue our passions and purpose together. :)
