- Ep. 151: Why Family Devotionals Matter (With Melissa and Michael Kruger)
We know we’re supposed to read the Bible with our kids. But sometimes, we overlook the why of its importance. In this episode, Melissa and Michael Kruger approach the topic of family devotionals in a way that makes it seem doable—because it is! It’s not about perfection but instead intention. And with their new book. The Good News Family Devotional, they’ve created a resource that walks parents through the process of teaching God’s Word (in this case, the gospel of Mark) to our children. Our best advice? Just start somewhere, and then stay the course, trusting the Lord to direct your path and sustain you every step of the way.

45 min - Ep. 150: Boyhood Resurrected (A Chat with Rebekah Lovell)
If you’ve ever wondered how you’ll survive your boys’ energy and verve for life, if you’ve been concerned the walls might not be standing by the time they leave the house, and if you’ve racked your brain for productive ways to channel their zeal for life, this episode is for you.
Rebekah Lovell is a boy mom of two, and she joins me (mom of seven males) to talk about the wild, wonderful world of boyhood and why it’s so important to steward our boys’ masculine traits for the glory of God.
We touch on the endless energy and how to harness it, how to address boys differently than girls, how to connect when they’re older, and so much more!
If you’re a mom of boys, today’s show is just for you and will bless you greatly!

36 min - Ep. 149: Raising “Successful” Young Adults (A Chat with Jonathan Brush)
Are we willing our young adults for success as they go out into the world, and are we even defining success correctly?
These questions are just two of the many I tackle with my guest, Jonathan Brush from Unbound Ministries.
With multiple decades of working with youth and young adults under his belt, Jonathan approaches helping them thrive in a world full of pitfalls and opportunities for failure in a refreshing, practical, and approachable way.
Be encouraged, parents, that, in Christ, you have what it takes to equip your older kids with the biblical knowledge and godly principles they need to go out into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom!

31 min - Ep. 145: Contentment for Christian Women (A Chat with Tilly Dillehay)
What if we truly believe our contentment were not linked to our circumstances—that we really do have the ability to give thanks in all circumstances, as we’re exhorted to do by Scripture?
What would it change?
For the Christian woman mired in bitterness and comparison, the answer just might be “everything.”
In this conversation with Tilly Dillehay, we explore the influences in modern culture that drive Christian women to consider themselves short-changed by their husbands, their children, and, ultimately, God.
Join us for a thought-provoking show sure to step on your toes a little even while it encourages you to keep your eyes squarely focused on Christ.

57 min - Ep. 144: Healthy Eating Tips for Kids
Every week, on Whaddya Wanna Know Wednesday, I get asked for tips for picky eaters, how to get kids in the kitchen (without losing your mind), and teaching kids about healthy eating choices.
In this episode, we tackle all of these topics and more with Katie Kimble from Raising Healthy Families.
She provides lots of practical suggestions for overwhelmed moms, gives great insight on how to equip kids to take agency for their contributions at home (and in the kitchen, specifically), and helps demystify the struggle to feed kids healthy food.
I know every mom who listens to this episode will come away with valuable insights into a topic that has many parents scratching their heads.
