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.

Hospitality Helpers

No Higher Calling ·

2023/07/27

One of my favorite aspects of making hospitality a big part of our home and ministry is getting my children involved. They have become wonderful hosptiality helpers! Through intentional training, they have learned how to greet others with kindess and welcome, how to do a quick tidy and clean of the home, how to prep dinner, how to remember manners through meal time, how to engage in conversation with people of all ages, and more! In this episode, I pull some thoughts from the Hospitality Guide I put

"I truly believe that a successful day begins the night before. Setting yourself up for success before bed is an amazing way to not only have more peace in your day, but it's a way to feel calmer and happier- and to have time for those things that matter most to you." -Crystal Paine I am a busy wife and mama. With 4 kids under 6, a baby on the way, homeschooling responsibilities, homemaking tasks, a husband, minstry, and the list could go on. . . I get asked often, how do you manage?! I've learned

Psalm 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;" Deep trials are a reality of life because we live in a broken, sin-cursed world. Yet, our gentle Shepherd reminds us that in the midst of the darkest valleys, we need not fear! How can that be so? Because of the Shepherd's presence. We can weather the storms of life victorious because Christ walks with us. The journey we walk is worth the endurance required. The valleys provide

No Higher Calling ·

2023/07/13

Family-integrated worship is becoming more common in churches today. Whether that is your choice or because your church doesn't have separate nursuries and classes, many parents find themselves wondering- how do we teach our littles to sit in church? I'll say upfront, I am not the authority on this topic! We are in the process of training our children in this, but I have learned some things that I share in this episode.

Be Someone’s Elizabeth

No Higher Calling ·

2023/06/26

When Mary needed spritual encouragement and fellowship, the Bible says she made haste to go to one person- Elizabeth. The friendship between Mary and Elizabeth is beautiful, and there is much we can learn from their example. We are challenged to seek to be a Christlike friend, seeking to point those we love to the Lord. "We are hungry for the sustenance of sturdy, deep friendships, but we are fed an idea of friendshp that is neither nourishing nor satisfying. Friendship can and must be so much

Children of Character

2023/06/22

We are living in a day where children are coming in adulthood with little to no character. Being known as a man of your word or a woman of discretion is almost unheard-of. As Christian parents, it should not only be our desire, but it is our responsibility to instruct our children in righteousness and godly character! God put it on our hearts to create a resource full of Scripture and biblical wisdom to aid parents in teaching their children character. The Children of Character cards are now

Simeon joins me to discuss the difference between convictions, standards, and preferences. This conversation can often be difficult, but God's Word gives a sure foundation of truth. We seek to define the difference of these three areas, and how we can best obey, glorify, and grow in Christlikeness in the decisions we make as families. In the age of social media, I often am asked questions about our choices, beliefs, etc. And being a ministry family, we have been approached for biblical advice

"We are living the transition between paradise lost and paradise restored." -Nancy Demoss Wolgemuth One day, paradise will be restored. All will be made right. But for now, we live in a broken, sin-cursed world. Because of this, we often find our souls in desperate need of restoration. This beautiful phrase in Psalm 23 reminds us that it is our Shepherd who restores us. Once we have been through the green pastures and by the still waters, our souls are restored. Restore means to "revive, refresh,

I'm not here to make you feel guilty, but I am here to challenge you (and myself!) to make Christ preeminent in our lives. Ladies, we will never be the women God desires for us to be if He does not have His rightful place in our lives! In this episode, I share how God is teaching me to keep my heart and mind in a
