March 25, 202559. Rethinking the Proverbs 31 Woman: Inspiration, Not Expectation
The Proverbs 31 woman has often been placed on a pedestal, celebrated but feared. Who could possibly ever live up to those expectations? But deeper study has led me to a new conclusion about this well-known passage of scripture.
Let's break down the elements of this acrostic poem and how it reflects the inner strength, dignity, and love that come from godly wisdom. By the end of this episode, you’ll see that the heart of wisdom isn’t about perfection; it’s about the journey of growing and learning to love God and others wholeheartedly. It's time to explore how to embrace our unique paths to wisdom without feeling like we have to do it all.
Episode Highlights
Proverbs 31 isn't a checklist to stress us out; it's more of a wisdom roadmap.
The woman described in Proverbs 31 is a symbol of wisdom, not a standard to meet.
Living with wisdom means embracing our imperfections and learning from our experiences.
Embracing wisdom is about loving God and our neighbors, not juggling endless tasks.

March 11, 202558. Engaging the Next Generation: Beth Meverden on Raising Church-Connected Kids
Beth Meverden, the Family Ministry director and seasoned expert in children's ministry, joins us for a conversation that every parent needs to hear. In her book, *Church(ing) Kids: 4 Keys to Keeping Your Children Engaged in Church*, she lays out practical strategies to help kids not just attend church, but to truly engage with it. We chat about practical, everyday moments that can turn into teachable opportunities, from car rides to bedtime stories, all while sprinkling in a bit of humor and relatable parenting chaos.
Beth's experience in family ministry shines through, reminding us that integrating faith into our daily lives can be both intentional and fun. So whether you're a seasoned pro or just trying to keep the little ones alive (no judgment here!), this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement for all the moms.
Episode Highlights
Beth Meverden emphasizes the importance of parents being the primary spiritual educators for their children, not just leaving it to the church.
Intentional spiritual training can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, making it less daunting and more meaningful for families.
Creating teachable moments is crucial; conversations about faith should happen naturally during everyday activities.
The necessity of modeling grace and forgiveness in front of children is highlighted to help them grow into compassionate adults.
Serving together as a family can deepen faith connections and provide a shared sense of purpose in their community.
Finding time for rest and reflection is essential for spiritual growth and family bonding, allowing for rejuvenation in our busy lives.

Self-care isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the golden key to keeping ourselves rejuvenated and ready to pour love into others. Today, we're diving deep into what self-care really means, because let’s face it, the internet has turned it into a hot mess of spa days and guilt trips. We’re here to bust those myths wide open and get real about how self-care is all about maintaining our own well-being so we can show up for our people with joy and energy. Spoiler alert: it’s not about being selfish or ignoring your own needs in the name of holiness. We’re unpacking how Jesus set the ultimate example of balance, reminding us that even the Son of God took time to recharge.

Self-Care: is it just a buzzword?
What Self-Care is NOT

February 04, 202555. Breathing Room: How Stepping Back Makes You a Better Mom
Today, we’re diving straight into the heart of what it means to hit that breaking point and reclaim our sanity amid the chaos of everyday life. It's all about taking a hot second to reflect and ask ourselves, “How’s all that working for ya?” Trust me, stepping back isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity for those of us juggling family, work, and, well, life itself.
Join me as I share a personal tale of kitchen chaos that spiraled into a mini-revelation, reminding us that finding breathing room is not just about escaping the noise, but about stepping into clarity. So grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and let’s keep it real while we explore the importance of healthy boundaries, because (spoiler alert) you deserve it!
Episode Highlights:
Reflecting on our lives can be the catalyst for meaningful change and growth.
It's crucial to create breathing room in our busy lives to recharge and reset.
Moments of solitude help us regain clarity and perspective amidst life's chaos.
Seeking appreciation is valid, but our self-worth should never depend on external validation.
Taking a brief step back allows us to return to our loved ones as better versions of ourselves.
Investing time in ourselves isn't selfish; it's essential for being fully present for others.

Essentialism by Greg McKeown
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:4-7 (NIV)
