This February on the Welcome Home by Gina podcast, we're exploring a question that touches every part of our lives: What is love? And even more- what truly has our hearts?

Love is so much more than flowers, date nights, and Valentine's Day traditions. Although I do love Valentine's Day! Afterall, we love, because he first loved us!

We'll talk about how love shows up in our priorities, our schedules, our relationships, and even the way we care for our homes and families.

And as believers, we have incredible insight into the true natire of love- because God is love!

In this episode, we'll reflect on what we're giving our time, attention, and affection to- and whether it aligns with the life we truly want to build.

We'll also talk about the 5 modern day idols that can sway the love of our hearts away from God- if we're not being careful. Those are; people, power, prestige, popularity, and possesions.

If you've been craving deeper connection, more meaning, and a reset for your heart this season, this one is for you!

The 6 Struggles Every New Mama Faces- and How to Overcome Them with the Armor of God Becoming a mother is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, lonely, and spiritually stretching.

In this heartfelt episode, I share my experience, strength, and hope on the new motherhood front.

Together we uncover the six most common challenges new mamas face-from stress and exhaustion to self-doubt and daily battles- and explore how God equips us to rise above each one.

Through Scripture, practical tools, and honesty, you'll learn how to stand firm with the full Armor of God, strengthen your spirit, and walk confidently through this season with grace.

Whether you're a new mom or supporting one, this is your sanctuary for encouragement, truth, and renewed strength.

In this episode of the Welcome Home podcast, we talk about the beauty of homemaking, the ministry of hospitality, and the everyday practices that bring faith to life. Anchoring in Romans 12:12–13: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."

Hospitality is at the heart of the Christian life- it's not just about entertaining, it's about opening our homes and our hearts to others.

If you've been journeying with me through the pages of my book Welcome Home, you know my heart: to share encouragement, practical tips, and Christ-centered inspiration for building homes filled with beauty, peace, and purpose.

In this episode, instead of diving deep into homemaking wisdom, you'll hear a special preview of what's coming next- because this journey doesn't end here. It's just the beginning!

The first upcoming project I want to share with you is the next book, Welcome Home: For the Holidays. If you're anything like me, the holidays are such a mix of joy and sometimes stress. We want everything to be beautiful, memorable, and meaningful. And yet, sometimes the weight of expectations- our own or others'- can pull us away from what truly matters. So stay tuned about the release date for this book that is sure to help you prioritize not only the things that give you the most joy and peace, but are the most important too.

The second project I'm so excited about is my third book in the series, Welcome Home: Picnics & Parties. This book will be full of delightful recipes and inspirational style ideas to make gatherings both fun and deeply meaningful. But more than that, it offers an invitation to embrace each day as a ministry.

Both For the Holidays and Picnics & Parties are part of a bigger vision for Welcome Home- building homes that glorify God in every ordinary and extraordinary moment. Because a Christ-centered home is not just where we live. It's how we live. It's how we welcome others. It's how we point back to the One who has prepared a place for us.

In this final episode of the Welcome Home podcast, where we explore homemaking as both an art and a ministry, we dive into one of the best chapters in the Welcome Home book, called the Odds & Ends of Homemaking.

It's a gathering place for all the little things that might not fit neatly into categories, but they matter deeply.

In this episode we'll reflect on Proverbs 3:9-10: 'Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your crops. Then your barns will fill with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.'

This passage reminds us that every detail of our lives- our time, our thoughts, even the way we compost or craft- can be an offering to the Lord.

On this episode of the Welcome Home podcast, where faith and homemaking meet, we're turning to John 14:1–3, where Jesus promises: "In my Father's house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you."

It is so beautiful that our Savior himself is preparing a place for us. And in our own small, earthly way, we have the privilege of reflecting that same love and hospitality by preparing places in our homes- especially at the table.

Join me as we talk about the importance of the dining table in our homes- the place where meals are shared, prayers are said, and memories are built.

In the Welcome Home podcast we explore the heart of homemaking, faith, and the joy of creating spaces that reflect God's goodness. This episode is rooted in Joshua 24:15: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Our homes are more than walls and furniture- they're ministries. When we design with intention, we create spaces that bless, comfort, and reflect the One we serve. You don't have to be a professional interior designer to curate a nested home. In this episode I'll cover some basics that will either get you up and running, or elevating your style with just a few simple touches.

In this episode of the Welcome Home podcast we're diving into one of my favorite and most personal parts of homemaking- feeding our families with joy, intention, and even some creativity.

Our guiding scripture is Matthew 5:6: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied."

This verse reminds us that while food nourishes our bodies, God Himself nourishes our souls. And in the kitchen, both can meet- through daily bread, shared meals, and the small acts of care that become ministry.

Join me as we talk about all of this and more!
