M Is for Mama Podcast ·

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

2024/10/02

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. Be encouraged, friends that God’s sovereignty is a very good thing, even when it

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

And how will you handle it if you share something unpopular, and you receive backlash? We tackle all of these topics and more in this two part series on “Christians and Politics.” Make no mistake: This is two conservative women grappling with all of these issues from a biblical perspective. We are not neutral. And we believe your theology (bc everybody has one) should

Buckle up, friends, because a lot has happened since last May, and I’m chatting about it all during today’s episode. From family travel to trips abroad to really happy news, followed by sadness, it’s been a roller coaster ride of a summer.

One of the FAQs I receive weekly in DMs is: “How do you handle solo-parenting when your husband is gone?” And while I know that everyone’s solo-parenting circumstances are different, there are some core principles that can help shift your mindset from “woe is me!” (been there) to “I’ve got this” (in Christ’s strength). Is so important to actively look for ways to thrive rather than simply survive! I share some of the things that have helped me most in this episode, and I’ll talk more about ways the

But is it biblical? I sit down with my good friend, Jennifer Flanders from Flanders Family Home Life, chat about the biblical implications of a child-free lifestyle. We also chat all things birth control and what it looks like to live a surrendered life before the Lord—in every area,
