We’re starting a new series here at the podcast on the spiritual disciplines. Today’s episode is introducing us to what they are and the vital role they play in our sanctification as believers. In this series, we’re going to talk about why we need to practice them and share practical biblical ways of how we…
As a young Christian, I desired to read books from some of the “old guys” in the faith, but it was a bit intimidating. My first exposure to a “not so old guy” was Charles Spurgeon’s, Morning and Evening Devotional. I picked up Alistair Begg’s edited version, and it introduced me to a…
Inside: Simple Ideas to Celebrate a Christ-Focused Thanksgiving with Your Family & Friends I know as women we can get caught in our to-do lists and forget to give thanks in and through all things – even in the gift of preparing to serve others with the hope of pointing them to the One who…
Inside: We don’t correct others because we have a difference of opinion. We correct based on the truths of God’s Word. God’s Word is our standard of right and wrong. We don’t often think of gentleness as a godly virtue. If we are to correct others God’s Word calls us to do it in a…
Would you think of your submission to your husband as an act of worship to the Lord? To be perfectly honest it’s not the first thing that comes to my mind. When I’m reminded that my submission to my husband is to be voluntary and is not dependent on his behavior, then I can…
We’re continuing in our marriage series, and podcast episode 37 is part one of a two-part episode in the series on submission. I’m a bit excited to have my husband joining us today, and he’s going to work through with us what is the theology of submission. You can find all the podcast episodes in…
This past weekend our church had an outreach at our state fair to hand out water bottles and gospel tracts. It reminded my heart how often it lacks focus on the things above. I can be more earthly minded instead of heavenly minded. So, I’m reading and pondering what it means to have minds and…
We’re continuing in our series on marriage at the podcast, and episode 36 is on respect. So far we’ve covered God’s Design for Marriage and Our Role as Women, Loving Our Husbands, and today we’re talking about what does it look like to show respect to our husbands. What is respect? How is it defined?…
What does it look like to have a gentle spirit? We live in a world where it can be quick to pass judgments instead of seeing the best in others. We can find ourselves expressing our opinions harshly when we differ from one another. Watching debates between Christians online when there is a disagreement makes me cringe…
I came across this convicting little poem, and it brought to mind the verses we all know so well in Philippians 2:3-4: 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the…
I’m sharing today from a post I wrote quite awhile back called Where to Begin When You’re Overwhelmed, and it was dealing with our home keeping. It’s been a very controversial post and people either have a love or hate relationship with it. I’m hoping you all are in the love camp today because…
– Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 The Gospel. The Good News of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. As believers we know it, we remember it, and…
Inside: Worry reveals the idols of my heart, something I treasure more than Christ. Today’s podcast we’re discussing what God’s Word has to say about our anxiousness and worry. We’ve been working through the book of Matthew at church and have been in the Sermon on the Mount for quite a few months now. I’ve…
I have always been a planner oriented person. I love notebooks and pens and making lists. I love seeing items I have to-do written down. It helps me to keep order and meet the needs of my family and others while still getting time to do some of the things I love to do…
When our families go through battles with illness we know, as the mom, there seem to be no sick days for us. We may have quieter and more relaxing days as we battle through the illness, but the needs of the home await us until we are feeling better. Times of difficult trials can…
Inside: Why does it seem grumbling and complaining are so tolerated within our Christianity? Sometimes I think we tolerate it because we don’t always think of it as a sin since it is so commonly practiced among us. We’re talking about a topic that I pretty confidently say affects all of us. It’s our grumbling…
It’s not easy to stay connected with our spouses. It takes work. The busyness, everyday routines, and mundaneness of life can distract us from having more in-depth, more meaningful conversations together. My husband and I have worked hard to get moments alone to foster good conversation. We have more alone time together because our…
Inside: Seasons of waiting are good to see the Lord at work in our lives for our good and His glory. As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near. It has reminded me that when…
