Happy Wednesday, friends!

In this episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast with Lynn Nitcher, we’re diving into one of my favorite family traditions—packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ Creative Operation Christmas Child shoebox ideas that really work
✅ How to pack OCC shoeboxes with kids and make it a fun family activity
✅ Tips for shopping year-round on a budget (Dollar Tree, clearance finds & more!)
✅ How to host a shoebox packing party in your home, neighborhood, or church

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, host Lynn Nitcher sits down with special guest Amanda Guillot for an honest and deeply meaningful conversation about navigating motherhood after losing a parent to suicide.

As part of Suicide Awareness Week, Lynn and Amanda gently walk through Amanda’s story—how losing her mom shaped her as a daughter, a woman of faith, and now, as a mom raising three children of her own. Together, they explore how grief doesn’t have to define you, how God brings healing through His presence and people, and the power of staying rooted in hope through seasons of sorrow.

We also talk practically about:

• Parenting through grief and learning to be honest with your kids

• How Amanda has intentionally built a home filled with grace, safety, and open conversations

• The impact of losing a parent on milestone moments

• Why godly mentors and community matter so deeply

• What the Bible says about comfort, loss, and hope

  
  

With Scripture, statistics, and real-life perspective, this episode is both a sacred space for moms who have experienced loss and an important listen for any mom wanting to lead with compassion, intention, and faith—especially during the teenage years.

📖 Scriptures shared: Psalm 34:18, Psalm 46:1-3, 1 Peter 1:3

Whether you’ve walked through grief yourself or are walking with someone else who has, this conversation is filled with encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in Christ, we are never without hope.

Are you already feeling overwhelmed—and school hasn’t even started yet? In this episode of Drive Thru Moms, we talk about the pressure-packed pace of motherhood and how being overscheduled, overstimulated, and stretched thin is robbing us of peace.

Inspired by the simple but powerful Downton Abbey quote, “Much cattle, much care,” we unpack how too many commitments can quietly pull us away from God's best for our family.

Let’s talk about:

• What Scripture says about being distracted and doing too much
  

• Why less might actually mean more peace this school year
  

• Three practical ways to reset your calendar and your soul
  

Your kids don’t need a mom who does it all—they need a mom who’s available, obedient, and at peace.

🎧 Tune in and take a deep breath—this one’s for every mom who’s tired of managing a herd she was never meant to carry.

As moms, we may not wear crowns, but we carry influence that echoes for generations. In this episode, we look at how the Bible speaks about kings—some who led their people into righteousness, and others whose disobedience led entire nations into sin. What can we learn from their leadership about our role as mothers?

Scripture reminds us that “the people followed their king into sin” (see 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles), showing the ripple effect of a leader’s choices. As moms, our spiritual leadership—whether quiet or visible—shapes the atmosphere of our homes and the hearts of our children.

We'll dive into:

• What kind of "kingdom" are we building?

• The legacy we’re leaving through everyday decisions.

• How our obedience or disobedience to God influences those entrusted to us.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your choices really matter—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about the power of our yes to God, and how leading with love, humility, and faith can change the course of our families for generations.

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, I’m joined by two very special guests—my daughter, Lacey Dean, and our dear family friend, Jessica Gibson—for a real and honest conversation about the power of a woman’s words.

Together, we explore how what we say—and how we say it—can shape the emotional and spiritual tone of our homes, especially in our marriages and motherhood. From daily frustrations to defining moments, our speech has the potential to either build up or tear down the people we love most.

We dig into Scripture to discover what the Bible teaches about the tongue, wisdom, and the influence God has entrusted to women. You’ll hear personal stories, lessons learned, and encouragement to use your voice in a way that reflects Christ and brings life to your family.

If you’ve ever struggled with what to say—or regretted what you already said—this conversation is for you.
