Get to know Amanda better while you cook your Thanksgiving feast! There were so many surprising things that I learned about her- her love for singing solos, fashion design, a stint at Disney, not initially planning to have children and more! And don’t miss her very special tribute at the end! This episode is another reminder that we may not always see our direction, but always God does and he graciously shows us what is good. Thanks for listening!

The Whole Home podcast is a podcast for the women of a local church centered on giving God thanks and glory for his work throughout their lives up to the present day. “Whole Home” points to the internal/external reality of being “at home” in Jesus, which can be described as something like a garden. In this garden of life, we women plan, sow, and water. We are weeded, trained, and pruned, and at last we reap many harvests because of the kindness of a good God. Should we not be constantly sharing with each other this goodness by the hand of our Master Gardener? He is continuously at work for our good and his glory, and the women sharing on this podcast testify to that! John 15:5, Philippians 2:12-13, Ezekial 36:27, Psalm 37:23, Hebrews 13:20-21, Ephesians 3:14-21.

A huge thanks to Rachel Seitz for designing the logo, to Garreth Blackwell for uploading episodes, to Callie Blackwell for designing the welcome letters, and to my kids for their quietness, encouragement, and prayers while I record. Also, to my church family, for their encouragement and witness of faithfulness to the Lord, and finally to my husband, Ryan, whose idea it was in the first place to do this crazy thing and who continually prays for me and helps me to honor God and my sisters-in-Christ in this endeavor- thank you!

Thank you for listening as Autumn shares how God is maturing her in all aspects of her life as she digs into his Word, slows down, trusts his people for help and above all seeks to trust him patiently. There are also some laughs over spiders and walnuts! You will just have to hear for yourself!

Amy shares how her heart is opening in trust to God after so many trials. He has brought her to a place where she has asked herself- “what do I really believe?” and thus her faith is building up strong and secure on the foundation of Christ. He is the only one who can make sense of suffering and even blessing. Thank you God for sending your Son! Thanks for listening.

Surprise, Surprise! We are at episode 75! Time to party! Amy has a fun time pretending to be 75 before we get into the longest episode ever! Her story is long, but it is worth the listen. She has lived through continuous roadblocks and hardships personally that extend to her immediate family, including many instances where her child’s life hangs in the balance. As you enter deeper into her story, you will see that God is right there all the way. He sees her end, her beginning, and everything in between. Truly, thank you for listening!

I am back with Lisa Bynum! She shares about taking responsibility for her faith in Jesus, rejoicing in what God has done to change the course of her family forever and receiving a bounty of friendship from the Lord in his good and perfect timing. God has given her so many gifts and it is such a gift to hear her share them all! The Master Gardener is always at work. Thanks for listening!

Lisa shares about growing up in the 60s, about how a young couple reached out a helping hand to her as a young child and changed her life, and about how she left home with a suitcase and $100 in her pocket and met Tim in a cafeteria line. Hear her tell about 39 years of marriage, how she and Tim had to work really, really hard, moved A LOT, made a big decision to leave the church denomination they both had always known and how God led them to Remnant. They have never been rooted somewhere as long as they have been here in RVA and our church is so blessed to have the Bynums and all their progeny here!

I promise I did not know ahead of time how perfectly Resh’s talk would coincide with the new year and new beginnings- but God did! What an encouragement she will be to you to let the Lord and His church continue to shape you inside and out in this New Year. Thanks for listening! (and apparently you can adopt a snail through a pet shop! Who knew? (by the way- the whole time I am talking to Resh I am thinking she picked one up off the street)).

From a Hindu temple, to a Korean only-speaking church, to the occult, to hearing and answering the call of the Lord Jesus in a bathroom- Reshmi’s journey to the cross will surely leave you in worship! Thanks for listening to the story of this wonderful woman!
