Hi friends!

Today's episode is a quick check-in with a few life updates and why I quit the podcast cold turkey this year. Before the year ended, I wanted to check back and share about what I've been learning in hopes that it might meet you where you are at too.

You can find me on Instagram @kristen.white for more consistent updates. I'd love to hear from you!

I am SO excited for y'all to hear from my sweet friend McKenzie Harding. She is a military wife + mama of 5! She always comes to mind when I think of people living faithfully in the spaces that God has them.

She has a heart of gold and I know you'll leave with practical encouragement to remain faithful right where you are! The little things really ARE the big things.

November 20, 2023Santa or No Santa? Let's Talk About It!
Okay, friends. We're going there today. We're talking about SANTA. No, I won't be telling you what I think is the right decision for your family. Yes, I hope to present some ideas for both sides to consider!

But ultimately, my hope is that you would be encouraged to pursue whatever is best for YOUR family and helps point your children to Jesus!

There's no way I can cover everything but I hope it's a helpful conversation in at least pointing you towards some things to consider!

And a disclaimer, most everything I share here is based upon a faith-filled, Jesus centered perspective. Feel free to listen even if we don't agree there but I do want you to know that's where my viewpoint will come from!

November 10, 2023 What is life costing you and is it worth it?
A candid conversation today as I share about our journey over the last few years stepping away from ministry and a peek behind the curtain into that decision.

I really believe we are ALL sacrificing something, somewhere, and somehow to pursue the lives that we want. I hope you feel seen and encouraged today in your own lives and met in the midst of trusting God in your story.

I also hope this episode feels helpful if you feel stuck in making decisions about what "costs" in life are worth it.

I reference the "More Than Motherhood" episode from earlier this season.
