In this episode, I welcome to the show Christian author and speaker Kelly Needham to talk about the privilege of spending time alone with God. 

We chat about what solitude means, Kelly’s journey in embracing time alone with God, and the main obstacles that keep us from engaging with God on our own. 

Kelly also shares some great tips for moms for developing the practice of solitude and how we can teach our children to develop the practice of solitude.

In this month's episode, I chat to wife, mama, and author, Emily Darnell, about the concept of Abiding in Christ.

We cover the following questions: What does Abiding in Christ actually mean? What is the role of the Scripture and the Holy Spirit in helping us abide in Christ? How can we abide in Christ as busy mamas? How can we teach our children how to abide in Him?

Meet Emily:

She earned her Masters of Arts in Philosophical Theology, and worked in Student Affairs at a University for 10 years. She now homeschools her children, and is active in her local church's Women's Ministry.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing a conversation between myself and my husband Luís on how we celebrate the Sabbath as a family.

We talk about why we believe celebrating the Sabbath is for us today as Christians, God's life-giving invitation to rest, and what we've learnt in the process of keeping the Sabbath.

Listen in and let us know what you think. :)

Finding Rest In The Midst Of Chaos

This podcast episode is part of the Rule of Life series and today we're looking at working for Jesus.

In today's episode, I talk to Jen Kosuda about what work looks like in Kingdom Culture - where work is less about striving, and more about surrender to Christ.

Meet Jen!

Jennifer Kosuda, founder of The Art of a Messy House, is a wife, mom, teacher, author and podcaster. She is a native of New Jersey where she lives with her husband of almost 14 years and their three children and puppy. As a public school teacher since 2006, Jen has a passion for inspiring youth to walk in their God-given giftings.

After decades of battling anxiety of different forms, by God’s grace, she overcame it. It was at that moment that she promised to never stop sharing about God’s goodness and Truth, giving Him all the glory. The Art of a Messy House books, blog and podcast is her journey to do that because... life is beautiful but it can get messy too.

Jen’s other passions are teaching, writing, and health & wellness. Right now, books 1-5 in the children’s part of the book series are out and season 1 of the podcast launched in March 2023.

Finding Rest In The Midst Of Chaos

In this episode, I share my heart on what it means to work in surrender.

Sometimes we’re restless and burdened because we haven’t surrendered our work to the Lord. At least not completely.  We’re working from a place of striving, people-pleasing and cultural conformity, instead of letting God lead us.

Jesus’ yoke is easy, and His burden is light. In taking it upon ourselves, we will learn to rest in His sovereignty, take stewardship of the loads He intends us to carry, and release the loads that are not ours to bear.

In today's episode, I chat with my friend and fellow writer, Leslie Moore, about waiting on God in seasons of transition and finding joy and rest in the present.

Meet Leslie!

Leslie might live in a sleepy southern town, but her stories are thrilling. Leslie writes historical romances spanning from the foundations of early England to the 1970s, bringing faith-filled stories with adventure, sword fights, betrayal, secrets, and how the power of love can mend all hurt. Although she's known as a writer, her most recognized title is Mom to Henry and Claire. When she's not researching 9th-century armor or how a longhouse was built, she's folding clothes, washing dishes, and wondering how to add in another plot line. You can find her writing about her first love, Jesus, on IG @lesliemoorewrites.
