  • Ep 52. Living Present with Defiant Joy with Kate Merrick
    In the midst of her young daughters battle with cancer, Kate Merrick shut down her social media and hasn’t looked back. She has written two books on her personal journey through grief and wrestling with God while embracing the good gift of life away from the distractions online. Kate has a raw and honest way of conveying truth and I just loved our conversation. We laugh hard and go deep.
    This last episode of the season is absolutely one to listen to and share!

  • Ep 51. Helping Children Walk Through Loss & Grief with Lisa Appelo
    Lisa Appelo, Author of “Life Can Be Good Again” is back again this week to offer insight and encouragement for parents and caregivers helping a child through loss and grief. Every child is so very unique in their response and acceptance of loss. Understanding how to provide a safe space, compassion and understanding is so important.
    Lisa’s experience of losing her husband suddenly, leaving her a widow and single mother of 7 propelled her into writing and speaking on grief to encourage others in their own journeys. She is a sound voice of biblical wisdom and hope!

  • Ep 45. Surrendering Our Online Time with Naomi Vacaro
    A new season is finally here!
    After a 10 month break, it’s so great to be back in your earbuds (or however you’re listening in today!) It’s a joy to share this recent conversation, had with the beautifully articulate and insightful Naomi Vacaro, founder of Whole Hearted Quiet Time and author of the book, Quiet.
    We get really honest about motherhood, including facing our failures and intentional parenting. Naomi also shares her perspective on the changes that have happened on social platforms over the past decade or so and some of hard things that we as content producers face in our pursuit to share online today. We cover the downside of social media usage and how to steward our time online well. Lots to takeaway and feel challenged by, especially if you’re a content producer yourself!
    And if you’re having a hard day of mothering, our personal acknowledgements in the first half may just help you feel less alone.

  • Ep 44. The Thriving Home: Hiding Gods Word in Our Hearts with Glenna Marshall
    We are continuing our series The Thriving Home again with this final episode that covers the most important thing we as mothers can do for our homes and that is to know God and His Word well!
    A little about my guest,

She is the author of three books (with a fourth coming soon!) and travels extensively to speak at women’s retreats and conferences.
    Much of her writing deals with spiritual disciplines as the means by which we grow in the faith and endure suffering. Glenna’s deepest desire is to direct her readers to deep study of Scripture.

  • Ep 43. Marriage Gods Way with Kathy Bush
    We are continuing our series The Thriving Home again this New Year with a very honest conversation about the hope that is available to those in a seemingly hopeless marriage.

    Kathy shares so openly about the way their lives changed when she and her husband surrendered all and chose to do marriage Gods way.
