Join me as I wrap up 2024 with answers to your burning questions like… “What was your favorite food as a kid?” Okay, yes. That was one of the lighter questions I got asked, but I also dive into how to address sibling squabbling and what my favorite things about having only littles were, among other things. I hope you enjoy this last WWKW, podcast style, for the year. Can’t wait to share more with you in the new year! Sponsor Info: Voetberg Music Academy Check out Voetberg Music Academy

2024/12/11

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

Back by popular demand, my pastor, Rick Witmer (whom I call Wit), is on the podcast today to tackle some of your most pressing questions.We start with one that’s relevant for this time of year: “Is it biblical to celebrate Christmas?” And then, we move on to a biblical examination of why Christians worship on Sundays (instead of Saturdays) and what role Sabbath plays in the modern-day believer’s life. As you can see from the long list of Scripture references below, Wit infuses all of his answers

Ep. 86: Finding Gratitude in Unlikely Places

M Is for Mama Podcast ·

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

Ep. 84: An “Attagirl” for the Mama Bears

2024/11/13

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

2024/10/30

This week, we continue with our chat with my pastor, Rick Witmer (or “Wit”), as he lays out a biblical case for reformed theology. We also get into some real-world examples that answer the question, “If God is truly sovereign, then why choose to take action at all?” Come unpack the “mystery box” of God’s sovereign will in conjunction with man’s responsibility to make choices in today’s thought-provoking episode!

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

2024/10/16

It’s easy to see someone doing well in an area (or multiple areas) and assume they’re killing it in every other arena as well. The truth is, while we strive for the balance of doing all things excellently to the glory of God, we often found our capacities particularly limited during certain seasons and generally limited all the time (bc no one is good at everything). Whether we are unusually busy (where I find myself right now), postpartum, solo-parenting, or something else altogether, we find

On this episode, we’re trying something a little different by doing a podcast version of the Q&A I do every week on my social media. I tackle serious questions (like how to turn a bad day around when you’ve lost your cool) as well as lighthearted ones (could either of our sets of twins fools us by switching places??). I’d love to hear your thoughts and whether you’d like to see this as a regular installment of the podcast. Enjoy! Sponsor Info: Voetberg Music Academy Check out Voetberg Music

September 24th is a momentous calendar date in our home as four of our share a birthday on it. Yep! Both our sets of twins are born on the same day, eight years apart. Of course, something that could only be a “God thing” is such a good reminder His ways are higher than mine—from the way He orchestrated their birthdays to the fact that He gave me twins at all, even though I was convinced they sounded hard and no fun.

2024/09/18

In a world which trumpets the anti-biblical message of “you do you” and walking in “your truth,” it can be easy for Bible-believing Christians to swing to the opposite extreme of assuming anything we’re passionate about comes from love of self or can’t be trusted. But the Bible makes it very clear that God directs our paths and has very specific purposes for our lives. And when we walk in them confidently, we honor Him. Even so, it can be easy to question the path He has for us when we encounter

Ever wondered how you’ll make it through your day of work or homeschooling after a night of fractured sleep? Ever felt completely stuck in a hard situation, without a clear path to a solution? Ever wished someone wise would just write you a step-by-step solution to a sticky situation so you can love forward? The truth is, we rarely receive enlightenment or next steps in the way we hope we will. Instead, the Lord asks us to simply keep taking steps forward, doing the next needful thing. A truth God

We’re back for part 2 of our chat with Blake Guichet about Christians and Politics. We chat about whether open borders and socialism are truly biblical, what it means that God is the one who raises up and brings down kings, and what this means for our political decisions as Bible-believing Christians. Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, we pray this episode will cause you to pray more, search your Bible diligently for truth, and trust yourself to the sovereign Lord of the universe whose
