Ep. 120: Share the Arrows (Highlights and Takeaways)

M Is for Mama Podcast ·

2025/10/15

This week’s episode is all about Share the Arrows—a conservative Christian women’s event in Dallas, Tx. I’ve had the honor of being invited to speak and represent the motherhood perspective from a biblical standpoint for 2024 (the year of its inception) and 2025. And both times were utterly surreal experiences in sheer scope of number of attendees (4,000 the first year and 6,700 the next) and the work involved to prep/run our booth Paint and Prose booth to serve a never-ending stream of customers

2025/10/01

Today, we’re tackling the hot button topic of whether women should be pastors with my own pastor’s wife, Jenn Witmer. As female pastors and clerics become more common, it’s inevitable that even the most traditional minds will start to question or at least reconsider the historical church’s position on the subject. The real question is: Should we? In this episode, Jenn and I approach the topic with the view of scripture, not culture, as our guide. We hope this episode provides clarity and direction

This show tackles such a timely topic for children and parents alike: how to approach anxiety from a biblical perspective. My pastor, Rick Witmer, unpacks his very personal story of struggling with crippling anxiety and how the Lord lead him to write a book for children called Walking With God When I’m Afraid. The impetus for this book was one of his children’s anxious tendencies, but everyone who listens will find useful/practical/biblically sound strategies for moments of stress, anxiety, and

On September 10, all of America (and the western world, at large) was shocked by the violent assassination of Charlie Kirk. Since then, more words and social media posts have been dedicated to his murder than to any other subject in recent history—prompting a wide range of responses. This episode is mine—an attempt to respond to the violent, senseless death of a non-violent man with wisdom that only comes from God’s Word.I pray this episode encourages and challenges you to double down on your
