This is our Village: a podcast for Christian women

This week Amy and Hayley reflect on some fun and thought provoking questions about motherhood, to celebrate this Mother's Day.

What is the funniest thing your child has said recently?

What’s your favourite guilty pleasure?

What small gift did motherhood give you today?

This week we have the immense privilege

Of chatting to Lisa Goins of GoinStrong.

Lisa has worked in so many different roles, from being a missionary overseas with her husband, to becoming a holy yoga instructor and everything in-between and beyond- she has seen a LOT of the world and has a huge heart for the health and wellbeing of others!

Lisa is the founder of GoinStrong- through which she engages her clients in “Whole Life” coaching, encouraging them to bring balance to their lives; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually! She has seen lives change and she is passionate about bringing this transformational health to others.

Today she shares about her journey, what led her to coaching and what God is doing in her life through these physical AND spiritual disciplines.

We pray you’re encouraged by her story today.

You can find Lisa at https://www.facebook.com/goinstrong.coaching/ or https://www.instagram.com/goinstrong.coaching/

A quick note- This week will be our last week of the In Between episodes. We’re planning to replace them with interactive, live ‘chats’ which you can watch and even join in! Watch this space for details on how, when and where!

This week on the In Between, I (Amy) share a bit about my journey through miscarriage over the last few months.

We want to give an important disclaimer/trigger warning that this episode could be triggering to anyone currently pregnant or that may have experienced a miscarriage in the past. We are so aware that every journey is unique and different, and that there are many aspects that each person will navigate differently, and this story is unique to me. I am someone who loves to share, even in the difficult times, but I’m very aware that not everyone appreciates raw conversation around topics like this- and that is perfectly ok! This episode may just not be for you ❤️

While walking through this loss, there are some things I’ve experienced and discovered that I would never have thought about previously, things I didn’t expect that caught me by surprise, and some I wish I had known before going through it personally. I’ve been left in awe of the female body, the way God has created us physically and emotionally and the way that He sustains us even in grief. My heart behind sharing today is to contribute to the shift I’ve seen happening in the culture around miscarriage, and to share what I’ve learnt in hopes it may help expand our empathy and understanding.

❤️

This week is our last episode of the mini series, and we have the privilege of hearing from two incredible mamas of 4, Joanna Craig and Doinitza Crispin.

Jo and Doini share with us from their rich and full motherhood journeys, and was honestly such a blessing and encouragement to hear a bit about their stories and their heart behind parenting. They share about their faith, the ups and the downs and what has helped them the most in motherhood and life.

We truely believe that this episode will uplift you, whether you have a large family or not. 🙏🏻

Today on the IN BETWEEN we chat to YOU!

That’s right! Literally you, the person listening right now.

We'd love to hear from you- send us a dm or fill out this survey so we can get to know you better

As we’ve grown we’ve developed a really strong listener base, and we would LOVE to get to know who you are.

This is our Village is a ministry- it is all about community and the heart behind what we do is to reach out to mothers, and help them know they’re not alone, by sharing from our amazing village of other mamas (and some not mamas! Just as important a role!)

But in order to continue to do that, we need to extend the community reach of the podcast.

SO have a listen to this episode, hear our heart and our message to you, and please take a moment to reach out to us and help us in growing this ministry and reaching more mums!

On this week’s episode we chat to the beautiful Ally Price, and our very own Amy Keeble about the transition from 2-3 kids.

Amy and Ally share openly and honestly about their journeys, being real with the difficulties and celebrating the highs.

We pray this episode will equip and encourage you

This week on the IN BETWEEN Hayley and Amy chat about getting to know your neighbours.

We share a bit about our experiences having both recently moved, but really we want to hear from YOU!

Do you know your neighbours? Do you have a little community with the people that live around you? How did you meet them and what tips do you have for people hoping to engage with their neighbours?

Share your wisdom with us! :)

This week we have the privilege of chatting to the beautiful Jacinta Berndt, AND our very own Hayley Young, about their transition into being mamas to two kids!

These two ladies share honestly with us about their experiences, and what motherhood has taught them so far.

Its a beautiful and uplifting conversation, and we pray it may be an encouragement to you!

This week, Hayley and Amy chat all things 'house moving!' 

What have you found to be the most helpful house-moving tips? 

Today we have the privilege of chatting to the beautiful Laura Young and Sarah Young! (No they’re not related haha)

Laura and Sarah join us to share about their journeys into motherhood, what surprised them when each of their precious baby boys were born, and reflections they’ve had over the process.

They’re both such beautifully reflective women, and we pray this will be an encouraging episode to you!
