Summary Doing the bedtime prayers and church every Sunday, but quietly wondering if any of it will actually stick? You're not alone. You've probably heard the scary statistics about kids walking away from the faith in college. But the data shows it starts way sooner, often between ages 13 and 15 (and most parents have no idea it's happening). So I dug into why kids leave, why some stay, and what actually makes the difference. In this episode, we talk about:• Why doing all the...
Summary Does it feel like your husband isn't measuring up as a spiritual leader? Maybe he doesn't pray at meals or lead family devotions, and you're quietly waiting on him to step up first. If so, this one's for you.This question came up again and again in our latest reader survey, from wives with quieter husbands, wives in unequally yoked marriages, and even a mom worried about her daughter's family. That's why, in this episode, we're going straight to Colossians 3 and Ephesians...
Summary Between the spilled juice, the buzzing work email, and the kids who need Mom for all of the things, does prayer time with God always end up on the back burner? Good news. You're not failing at prayer. You just need a different plan for this season.I get it. I'm in a season of very little sleep myself right now, up way too late with a toddler, up way too early to work. There is no serene, quiet-coffee, sit-down prayer time...
Summary Ever lie awake praying about a big decision, begging God for an answer, and hear... nothing? You haven't missed your window with God, and He hasn't moved on to someone easier to reach. Hearing His voice isn't a mystical gift some Christians have and you don't, it's a skill you can actually learn.In this episode, I'm walking through my go-to telephone analogy for hearing God's voice: He's calling, but are you picking up? We'll talk about how to tell the...
Summary Do you ever feel like other women just "get" the Bible in a way you never will? Like everyone else has some spiritual fluency you missed out on? Here's the truth: Understanding Scripture isn't a gift some women have and you don't. It's a skill, and you can absolutely learn it.In this episode, I'm breaking down why the Bible can feel confusing even when you're reading it faithfully (hint: it's not your faith, it's missing context), and walking you through the...
Summary Tried another Bible reading plan and fallen off track again? If every failed attempt feels like more proof you don't love God enough, I want to stop you right there: That's not what's actually happening, and this episode will show you why.So many of us have been handed a pre-made Bible reading plan, told to stick to it through sheer willpower, and then quietly assumed we're the problem when it doesn't work. In this episode, I'm walking through my own Bible reading...

Summary Somewhere between the laundry, the carpool line, and the bedtime routine, have you quietly started to believe your life doesn't matter that much right now? You're not forgettable, and you don't have to wait until the kids are grown to start living out your God-given purpose.In this episode, I'm walking through some of the biggest lies we believe about calling: that only certain kinds of women get one, that yours is on hold until this season ends, or that if you...

Summary Exhausted from trying to juggle being the perfect Christian, wife, mom, and friend -- while also working, taking care of the house, and the 100 other things you have to do on any given day?

The good news? Finding God's unique will for YOUR life...
