No Higher Calling

Brettnay Brazzell

God has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and mama to my littles. Join with me on my motherhood journey as I seek to encourage moms and point them to Christ.

No Higher Calling ·

2023/10/30

Psalm 23:5 "thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." In this Psalm, the anointing of oil symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This is a continual work. We continually need a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and minds. For the shepherd to know the sheep's need for the application of the oil, he must be among his sheep paying close attention to their needs. In the same way, our great Shepherd is ever-present in our lives ministering, comforting, and

Time Saving Kitchen Tips

2023/10/26

As a homemaker, it is important to me to steward my family's health well. Planning, cooking, and serving meals are such a huge part of life. Busy lives can make microwave dinners and takeout pizza look quite appealing, and while we do enjoy those from time to time, I know that's not what I want for our everyday. I'm also realizing that I have a very important ministry to my family through the family table. Laying that foundation, we discuss how to live that out while having busy lives and

The Gift of Boredom

No Higher Calling ·

2023/10/19

As moms, one of the things we most dread to hear from our children are the words, "I'm bored!" We live in a culture that is so overstimulized. We have lost the ability to wait, to be still or to be bored. Ainsley Arment from Wild + Free said, "If only we could be content with ourselves long enough to make it through the desert of boredom into the oasis of imagination and creativity." Boredom is not something that should be avoided at all costs. We just need to learn now to navigate our way through

Surviving the First Trimester of Pregnancy

No Higher Calling ·

2023/10/16

I'm often asked, "How do you juggle the first trimester of pregnancy while parenting other little ones?" I do not have the perfect answer, and some days are better than others! Growing a new life brings so many changes and challenges to the mama, but those things compound when you are trying to chase a toddler, manage your older children's education, keep up with the home, etc. This pregnancy was very rough in the first trimester. There were days where I didn't have the energy to get off the couch

Raising Geniuses

No Higher Calling ·

2023/10/12

"If you can light a passion in a child to love to learn and to learn for themselves, you will set them on a trajectory of pursuing beauty and excellence." Accoring to Greek and Latin origins, the word "genius" means "giving birth to one's joy." To help give birth to a child's genius, we have the privilege of introducing to them the joy of learning. How can we cultivate this? Wonder is the gateway to unlocking the genius. We discuss how parents can encourage wonder in their developing children, offer

The Atmosphere and Tone of Home

2023/10/05

There is so much pressure to craft homes that could be photographed for Better Homes & Gardens. Maybe you have that kind of home, and if so, that's wonderful! But I think the majority of us don't for a multitude of reasons- practicality, buget limitations, children, etc. What is the purpose of our homes? What do you want to emphasize in your space? As homemakers, we have the opportunity to cultivate a haven of beauty for our families. In this episode, I seek to find the balance between

The Calling to Let Go

No Higher Calling ·

2023/10/02

This episode is specifically for those who have been called to let go- to let go of those that they love who are serving Christ around the world. It was (and still often is) difficult for me to be so far from our parents, other family, and friends. But it is also difficult for those who remain behind and have to watch their loved ones board a plane. I've received messages from others asking what it's been like to be so far from friends and family, how we "shorten" the distance, and ways that we help

Hosting a Meal Train

2023/09/21

There are time when the need for hospitality calls for us to minister from our homes instead of in our homes. What is a "meal train"? It is simply when someone is in charge of organizing multiple meals for a person/family in need. In this episode, I share practical tips on how to make this go smoothly (especially for the one hosting/organizing the meals) and to be the greatest blessing to the recepients. We have been so encouraged and helped by those who have provided meals for us during times of

2023/09/18

Proverbs 23:5 "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:" Before we are in the presence of our enemies, desperate for the nourishment that the Shepherd provides, He has already prepared a table for us. Loving care is required when laying a table, and no one prepares a table like Jesus! "What a tragedy when Christ prepares a table for me, yet I don't stop and grumble about my weariness as I walk by." -Evangelist Scott Pauley In the moments of intense battle and spiritual

Clutter, Organizitaion, & Minimalism

2023/09/14

As a mom of a lot of littles, I get asked often about how I manage the clutter and keep our home organized and tidy. My personality is to have everything decent and in order. I cannot funtion or find joy in a home that is drowning in stuff, messes, and dirt. On the other hand, having many little children means that messes are a part of our everyday life. So, how does one find balance? How do you juggle it all? In this episode, I share some tips that have been helpful to our home in this

Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart

Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Motherhood is a sanctification journey. As I am trying to correct, instruct, and nurture the little hearts God's blessed me with, I'm learning that I must use the tools that He has provided. So often, I work out of my own

Pregnancy After Miscarriage

No Higher Calling ·

2023/09/04

The topic of pregnancy after miscarriage is one that is rarely addressed. Maybe because it is often interwoven with deep grief and conflicting emotions. The Lord blessed Simeon and I with 3 babies, then we lost a baby in 2021. Since that loss, God has blessed us with 2 more babies. We are so grateful for every life He's entrusted to our care, whether it was for days or years. Pregnancy after miscarriage is different from pregnancy without experiencing loss. I have to battle doubts, fears, and

Psalm 23~ Thy Rod and Thy Staff, They Comfort Me

2023/08/31

Psalm 23:4 "thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23 is all about our present Shepherd. He is with us! Praise God for His faithful, constant presence in our lives. In this episode, we discuss the Shepherd, our protector, and how He uses the rod and staff as tools of His protection. Just as as shepherd uses the rod and staff for the care of his sheep, our great Shepherd uses the rod (God's Word) and the staff (the Holy Spirit) to keep us under His wing of safety and security.

A Most Important Prayer Request

No Higher Calling ·

2023/08/24

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools God has given us for every aspect of life, but especially when it comes to parenting. The most important prayer request we can intercede for on the behalf of our children is for their salvation and relationship with the Lord. The next most important, I believe, is praying for your child's future spouse. So much of what their future will look like will be directly connected with the person they marry. In this episode, I challenge mothers to pray for their

Mothering the Strong-Willed Child with Sarah Boots

2023/08/21

Motherhood is sanctifying work, and mothering a strong-willed child is extra sanctifying! The challenges parenting this personality type brings can lead a mother to feeling isolated, frustrated, and exhausted. What are we to do when everything we try doesn't work? How can we find hope in the midst of tantrums and attitudes? Sarah Boots from Altogether Lovely Collective joins me to share how God is helping her grow in this area.

Homeschooling with toddlers and babies is no joke! Yet there will be endless opportunities for laughter and fun!

In this episode, I share practical advice on how we've structured our school days to best fit the season of life our family is in right now. I also share ways that I keep my toddler and baby entertained and involved in what we are learning. Not every day

The Australian school year begins in January, so we are right in the middle of a fantastic homeschool year. But, I know all my friends in the US are back-to-school! I thought it'd be fun to share a glimpse into our homeschool days and the curriculum line-up we have for the next semester. Researching curriculum is a geeky hobby of mine; it's been so fun to come up with these resources, unit studies, and curriculum choices! Resources: NHC Blog: Curriculum Line-up for Fall/Winter 2023

For the next three episodes of the podcast, we'll be chatting about homeschooling! This is a huge part of our lives, and it is something and Simeon and I are very passionate about. The goal of education is so much more than academic success. Our goal for the education of our children is to introduce them to God, allowing them to know God better. As they learn of Him, we learn about the world He created (science, history, literature) and the order He instilled in the world (math, languages, civics)
