Ep 47- Standing for Light When Surrounded by Darkness

No Higher Calling ·

2021/10/21

"If giving up a holiday that brings Him zero glory is a sacrifice I must make to be more like my Savior, is that too much of a price to pay?" Simeon joins me in this episode to discuss our stance on Halloween. I understand this is a controversial topic amongst Christians, and we take a very strong, possibly radical stance, on it, but we are convinced that our position comes from one that has been bathed in prayer and Scripture. I John 1:5 “. . .God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” A

Ep 42- Mundane Moments or Moments of Worship?

No Higher Calling ·

2021/09/30

The tasks of home can often feel repetitive and mundane. There are always meals to cook, piles of laundry to fold, and surfaces to dust. As Christian women, we want to glorify Christ with our days, but is He really receiving glory as we mop our floors? As I've searched the Scriptures, I believe that the answer is, yes!! If the glory of God is the end accomplishment of all that we do, then it doesn't really matter what the task is. All that matters is that He is glorified. If God is glorified, one

2021/09/09

Schedules are something that everybody struggles with. It takes so much thought, and sometimes trial and error, to find a schedule that is perfect for the needs of your family. Then, once everything is going smooth, seasons change, and so does your schedule. I want to be a wise steward of the time that God has given me. I also need to realize that God doesn't call me to do more than He gives me time to accomplish. How can we find balance in our schedules? I share some ways God has helped me

Simeon joins Brettnay as they do a joint episode for both of their podcasts. They explain what Biblical discipleship really is- a transfer of the life of Christ in you into the life of someone else.

Katie Ferguson, with Open Heart Doula, joins Brettnay on this episode. Katie was instrumental in Simeon and Brettnay's beautiful homebirth experience with their third baby.

All of those plans drastically changed when Jim was speared to death by the very people that he desired to share Christ with.

The Holy Spirit led Brettnay and Simeon to share their personal journey with the birth control pill, the lies they believed regarding it, and the truth that God brought them to. They have a strong desire to help families and glorify Christ, even in the area of fertility and intimacy. Culture has led us to believe lies that are in direct opposition to God's Word. We must stand for truth, no matter how difficult or inconvenient. Every life is precious, and every life deserves to be fought for! Why

Ep 34- Simplified Hospitality with Marcie Fowler

No Higher Calling ·

2021/08/05

Hospitality should not be a daunting task. It is something God has called believers to. Whatever God asks of us, He always equips us to do. So, why do we feel like showing hospitality is so difficult? It is because we have gotten our eyes off of Christ's intentions for hospitality and onto the world's version. When you look to the world's standard, all of the sudden your house is too small, not chic enough, food not fancy enough, conversations not impressive enough. Marcie Fowler joins Brettnay in

2021/07/29

Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Our idea of all things working together for good often means we cling to this verse as a promise of happiness and ease for our lives as Christians. That is not the truth God was conveying in this verse. Circumstances and trials come into our lives that do not feel as though they are intended for our good. Sometimes, it feels that those difficulties will the be

Choosing to home educate your child is a big decision. Once you make the choice and become a "homeschool family," now what? There are hundreds of curriculum choices out there, and it can quickly give you the feelings of overwhelm and frustration. I've been there. I had to realize that choosing the "perfect" curriculum wasn't going to make or break our homeschool experience. Curriculum is a wonderful and important tool, but it is just that, a tool.

God has led Simeon and Brettnay to be a home school family. Home education is so much more than just school; it is a way of life.

Proverbs 31:12 "She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life." What does it mean to do our husband good all the days of our life? Does all really mean all- before marriage and after? Brettnay brings out truths from this verse as she answers these questions. She addresses three specific areas in which a woman can do her husband good all the days of her life- in prayer, in presentation, and in purity. A Christian woman is called to be different from cultural norms, and that will be
