I didn't know exactly what we would be talking about when I sat down with Jesse Faris but what transpired was beautiful. I loved hearing about her heart for adoption, mothering and living out those things led by a Holy God. Our neediness is not a flaw. God created us to need Him and as we learn to walk with Him and co-parent with Him, He will refine us and our children whom He knows even better than we do!

Yvette and her husband Garritt took a big step of faith as they sold everything and hit the road with their family in their RV to make a movie! What would prompt someone to do such a thing? To put it plainly, God put a desire in their hearts to debunk the myths of homeschooling and share what it really looks like to home educate their children. Though many become homeschoolers reluctantly, what we find is that God is faithful where He calls us. We can trust Him. 

So wherever you are at with your child's education, give this a listen! If these moms can homeschool, so can you! Yes academics are important but they are the icing on the cake! There is so much more. For example, creating lifelong learners, training character and growing together as a family not to mention regaining our own education as we learn along side our children.

You can also find them over on Instagram and on Facebook.

*Sensitive topics* So many times tragedy, fear, anxiety, low self esteem, rejection and loneliness try to sneak in and steal our peace. Dawn's story started out that way and created so many opportunities to wall off parts of her heart. BUT THEN GOD was introduced her to and she was met with the greatest love. If you are desperate for peace or living in fear we pray that you are able to surrender those broken places to Jesus and be healed. Our scars point to an amazing healer!

Christy raised her daughter Abby to love Jesus and follow Him but as a college student living across the ocean from her parents they ended up walking a path that neither of them expected. Christy and Abby share the story of their journey navigating relationship coercion and domestic violence that occurred during her daughter's college years. Though they never intended to be part of this "whisper club" they learned much about the power of prayer and the importance of speaking light into darkness and the hope that can be found in the redemption promised by Jesus Christ.
