If you’ve ever struggled with how to convey deep theological concepts in a simple way to your toddlers, this episode is for you! In it, we talk about the common obstacles that keep parents of young children from engaging with and catechizing them.

I can personally attest to how much my little ones enjoy her colorful, simply structured board books, and I know upper will too!

We’re back with season 4 of the M is for Mama podcast, and we’re kicking it off with one of my favorite people, Jennifer Flanders. In this episode, we chat about all things “village” in motherhood. It’s no secret that moms need help, but the ultimate question is from where? And what do we do when we’re in seasons of little or no help from our community? We tackle these questions (and lots more) with personal experience and, so much more importantly, truth from God’s Word. Whether your mom lives down the street and comes over every day to help or you live 500 miles from your closest family member and don’t even have a reliable babysitter you can pay, be encouraged that the Lord’s strength is sufficient for all He has called you to, and that strength is perfected, not diminished, in your weakness.

In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we’re sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren’t you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You’ll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we’re so glad you’re here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.

You asked, we’re answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I’ve invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin’s responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!

We know we’re supposed to read the Bible with our kids. But sometimes, we overlook the why of its importance. In this episode, Melissa and Michael Kruger approach the topic of family devotionals in a way that makes it seem doable—because it is! It’s not about perfection but instead intention. And with their new book. The Good News Family Devotional, they’ve created a resource that walks parents through the process of teaching God’s Word (in this case, the gospel of Mark) to our children. Our best advice? Just start somewhere, and then stay the course, trusting the Lord to direct your path and sustain you every step of the way.

What if we truly believe our contentment were not linked to our circumstances—that we really do have the ability to give thanks in all circumstances, as we’re exhorted to do by Scripture? What would it change? For the Christian woman mired in bitterness and comparison, the answer just might be “everything.” In this conversation with Tilly Dillehay, we explore the influences in modern culture that drive Christian women to consider themselves short-changed by their husbands, their children, and, ultimately, God.

On today’s show, Abbie and Abbey talk all things grace, mom guilt, and perseverance in motherhood. In a world that can swing from extremes such as try-hard motherhood perfectionism to the “hot mess express” mom, finding our center on the truth of the completed work of Christ for us as moms can feel almost impossible. I’m thankful for grounded voices like Abbey’s who help moms to discern Scripture rightly and remind them of their worth in Christ as well as the high calling they have received to raise up the next generation in the teaching and admonition of the Lord. Be encouraged you are not in this fight alone. And no matter how much you may feel like you’re failing, know that Christ’s sacrifice is more than enough to cover any sin or shortcoming, and today is great day to start again.

If you’ve ever found yourself mumbling about what you’re doing in the pantry or asking yourself why you walked into the garage and flipped on the lights, then you’re probably well-versed in the art of talking to yourself. The science behind it is obvious: As we vocalize our thoughts out loud, we help our brains process better. So, what if we applied this truth to our spiritual lives and began “talking back” to the lies our brains try to sell us sometimes? This exact practice of preaching truth to myself—out loud—is one that has served me well over 20 years of marriage and parenting. And I think it could help you too! Listen in as I give you concrete examples of what this looks like for me and how you too can benefit from talking yourself off of an emotional ledge before you ever tell anyone else something you might regret.
