Ep. 100: One Hundred Mom Things (Part 1)

M Is for Mama Podcast ·

2025/03/27

As I contemplated the milestone of filming 100 episodes for a podcast that, 10 years ago, I couldn’t have even fathomed making even one episode for, I knew I wanted to pack as much value for moms as I could into one show. To that end, you will find my favorite Bible verses, top 10 family meals, things I would let go, hills I’ll die on, and so much more. Consider this your handy-dandy reference episode for the top 100 things I prioritize in our home daily.Enjoy! Sponsor Info:Summit MinistriesFind Out

2025/03/19

In this episode, Jenn Witmer (Wit’s wife!), and I tunnel deep into the rabbit hole of feminism, the “tradwife” movement, and what it truly means to be given the responsibility of being the keeper of our homes. Along the way, we examine what God’s Word has to say about our roles at home as Christian women and why this standard must be our guide, regardless of how loud the voices of our world become. We also tackle the myth of a one-size-fits-all approach to domestic responsibility—priorities

2025/03/12

One of the biggest FAQs I receive weekly is how to tackle tough sexuality topics with our kids–one of the chief of which is pornography. Parents feel ill-equipped to handle this in an age-appropriate way. And yet, the world is more than eager to fill in the gaps and give our children images and words that aren’t appropriate for any age. In this episode, we tackle practical ways to equip parents with the tools they need to confidently address issues like what to do when being shown explicit images on

If you’ve ever found yourself discouraged in motherhood and wondering where to look for help, today’s guest, Whitney Newby from Brighter Day Press, has written a Scripture-drenched devotional geared toward helping you answer that exact question. In this episode, we chat all things motherhood, including the fallacy of “doing it all” (nobody does) and how to change our mindset when we’re being bombarded by negativity from the world. Be encouraged that there is hope and purpose in those moments of

2025/02/26

One of my biggest FAQs is, “How do you survive and thrive when you have only littles?” Followed closely by, “How do you find balance and meet the needs of so many different ages when you’re mothering multiple stages?” And finally, “How do you adjust to being needed less and losing some of your primary role in your kids’ lives as they age?”Clearly, moms are hungry for solid principles on which to build their motherhood skills at every stage and age. While this episode is hardly an exhaustive study

Shaun and I are not huge Valentine’s folks, although neither are we the type who grumble about “manufactured holidays” and “forced love.” We typically view the holiday as a reason to get special treats for our kids and sneak in a yummy meal together. This year, though, Shaun thought it would be fun to make it a weekend away. And it was! But also, parts of it weren’t. And there were plenty of opportunities to both learn from our mistakes and some rather unfortunate circumstances out of our control

Have you ever found yourself crippled with fear or indecision when faced with a major life change or the prospect of an unknown outcome? If so, join the club! The truth of the Christian life is we’re called to more than curling up in a ball of dread or allowing ourselves to get worked up in a tizzy of anxiety. On the contrary, the Bible makes it very clear that, though we don’t know the outcome of our futures, we do know the Outcome Determiner. And that is better. Be encouraged, friends, that you

But what if it’s not your reality?In this episode, I share some hard news from our family, as well as encourage you to find your strength in the Lord if 2025 already doesn’t feel like “your year,” or you feel like you’re still dragging the weight of sad circumstances from 2024 with you.

On this episode, my pastor, whom I call Wit, tackles one of the biggest FAQs I’ve received over the last two years—the issue of whether modern Christian women should physically cover their heads, especially while in corporate worship. As always, he looks to Scripture as his guide and does a great job of addressing this sometimes contentious issue with clarity and compassion. We also talk about a biblical argument for the confidence that babies who die in the womb or very small children who die

Ep. 86: Finding Gratitude in Unlikely Places

2024/11/27

If we’re honest, we all have something to be grateful for: breath in our bodies, sun on our faces, a warm bowl of soup in our bellies, the sound of our children laughing in the other room… And then there are the even more obvious reasons to be thankful: job promotions, new babies, wishes fulfilled. But what about the things we don’t feel thankful for? Could there be any room for gratitude there? Any purpose or meaning behind the struggles we didn’t hope for? I believe, from personal experience

In a world which champions ungodly parenting philosophies, mocks the traditional family unit, and glorifies self over sacrifice, it can feel daunting to swim against the current of culture. But I have seen (and heard from) so many mamas who are doing just that and making a difference for good in their communities and the world at large. This episode is “an attagirl” and an encouragement to buck the status quo and value God’s wisdom above man’s. I am honored to stand with the Mama Bears who fear God

If you’ve ever heard of the doctrine of election or the five points of Calvinism, you may feel like you have more questions than answers about what those and many other tenets of Reformed theology mean. Since it’s Reformation Month—when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of a Catholic church—I thought it would be the perfect time to chat all things Reformed with my pastor, Rick Witmer, whom I call “Wit.” In this episode, he’s giving us background and answering some of your most pressing
