Hosting can be both intimidating and enjoyable, depending on who you are and even your season of life.  Let's look into God's Word to see what He has to say about Holiday Hosting and then we will also talk about practical ways to live it out. Come learn from our personal challenges and blessings, when it comes to hospitality.

The topic of shame is a heavy one, and one that we probably don't talk about extensively, often enough.  Those who are followers of Christ, need not walk in shame, but we know that many still do. We trust that God will use this episode to bring healing and freedom to anyone who is still stuck in shame.  Follow along as we discuss these questions:

I think there are a lot of Christian women who feel shame about their current life.  Maybe they are a stay at home wife or mother and feel like they should be doing more to contribute financially, or maybe they feel that they should stay home more.  Maybe they feel like they are not living up to their calling as a Christian wife or as mature in their faith as they “should” be.  What would you say to those women who currently feel ashamed?

How can we truly resolve the shame that we experience?

It's a longer episode because Sandi had a lot of questions!

Does biblical counselling use behaviour sciences or modern psychology?

Where does medication play a role or even a medical professional?

Do you think there are safeguards or practices we can put into place now that will help us deal with matters of the soul as they come up?

In this Episode we talk a bit about how to support the men in our lives, after they have attended an event like a men's conference.  Listen in to understand how to support without becoming a nag.

We also address the Halloween topic. We don't tell you what to do, but give you some things to think about, so you can make a wise decision.

We all spend a lot of time talking to others and about others.  Not all talk of others is gossip, but often it is.

Gossip is secretly or carelessly talking evil about others, which potentially results in unjustly damaging their

character. We invite you to listen in to this conversation, with an open heart.

In this episode we discuss the mindset of raising teenagers, preparing to release them into adulthood.  We discuss many joys, challenges and responsibilities of mothering and hope that our conversation will help prepare you for this amazing season of life.  

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth" (Gen 1:28).

My kids have quoted me as saying, "life get's better with every decade" and I still stand by that.  Every decade has deep trials and abundant blessing, but as we grow in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord, all of that is easier and all of that is better.  Listen in as I talk about turning 50.

Are you feeling overwhelmed yet? So many women are already feeling busy and overwhelmed as they begin scheduling another Fall season.  We trust that this podcast will help you to manage the feelings of overwhelm, and use your schedule for God's glory!

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.

We are celebrating and praising God for the opportunity to release 100 episodes.  Listen in as we share memories, talk about best podcasts and share a few stories!

We can easily fall into the trap of either being pursuers of pleasure, where all of life is about having fun and looking forward to the next "experience." Our goal in life is not to pursue pleasure but to pursue God, but we can enjoy the blessings of life, without guilt. Life in Christ is meant to be full of joy, but that is the end result of pursing God. Listen in to hear more!
