    What No One Tells You About Hormonal Birth Control

    Hormonal birth control is often presented as a simple solution for preventing pregnancy and managing symptoms like painful or irregular periods. But what if there are important conversations about its effects on the body that many women aren't hearing? In this episode, we take a closer look at hormonal contraceptives—how they work, how they influence the menstrual cycle, and why understanding your body's natural rhythms matters. We discuss the role of ovulation, the importance of a healthy menstrual cycle as a vital sign, and why simply suppressing symptoms may not always address the underlying issue. Whether you're currently using hormonal birth control, considering it, or simply want to better understand your reproductive health, this episode is designed to encourage informed conversations and help you ask thoughtful questions about your options. In This Episode How hormonal birth control works and what it does to the menstrual cycle Why ovulation and regular cycles are important markers of overall health The difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causes Research on mood, libido, and other potential side effects Hormonal birth control and reproductive health Nutrient depletion and supporting whole-body wellness What to expect when coming off hormonal birth control Practical ways to support your body during post-pill recovery Resources Referenced: Prayer Journal for Kids https://nohighercalling.org/shop/family-resources/prayer-journal-kids/  The Fifth Vital Sign by Lisa Hendrickson-Jack https://amzn.to/4c8Klt1  Period Repair Manual by Dr. Lara Briden https://amzn.to/4vXda2K    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

    How Important is My Thought Life?

    "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:" How important is our thought life? It is estimated that we think an average of 60,000 thoughts each day. Many of these thoughts are repetitive and negative. Repeated thoughts stregthen neural pathways, so it is vital that our mind is anchored in the truth of God's Word. In this episode, we discuss... -Your mind is a battleground -What you dwell on shapes who you become -You must guard the "input" of your mind -You must replace, not just remove, wrong thinking -You must have daily discipline over your mind not merely occasional effort -Peace is the result of disciplined thinking   Scriptures Referenced: Proverbs 23:7 Isaiah 26:3-4 II Corinthians 10:3-6   Resources Referenced: Prayer Journal for Kids https://nohighercalling.org/shop/family-resources/prayer-journal-kids/  What Do I Know About My God? by Mardi Collier https://amzn.to/3SAOBuu    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

    Encouragement for the Homeschool Mama

    Do you ever wonder, “Am I doing enough?” as a homeschool mom? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re offering a reminder that homeschooling was never meant to be measured by perfection, packed schedules, or completed checklists. The heart of homeschooling is faithfulness—loving our children well, discipling their hearts, and creating a home where learning, wonder, and connection can grow. Join us as we explore encouragement from beloved homeschool voices who remind us that our presence matters more than perfect lessons, that childhood is worth protecting, and that some of the most meaningful learning happens through simple moments together. From read-alouds on the couch to adventures outdoors and everyday conversations, these reminders will encourage you to embrace the beauty of the homeschool journey right where you are. Because years from now, your children may not remember every worksheet or lesson plan—but they will remember the atmosphere of home you created.   Resources Referenced: Favorite Books on Homeschooling https://nohighercalling.org/my-favorite-books-on-homeschooling/  Prayer Journal for Kids https://nohighercalling.org/shop/family-resources/prayer-journal-kids/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

    The Grace Wherewith We Are Comforted

    II Cor 1:4 "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."   In this episode, we explore the biblical meaning of comfort through 2 Corinthians 1:4 and discover that God's comfort is far more than sympathy—it is His strength, encouragement, and presence coming alongside us in our trials. We discuss how the comfort we receive from God equips us to bear one another's burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ by actively helping others carry their struggles. Ultimately, God's grace in our suffering is not meant to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters, reminding us that it's hard to doubt God when His people keep showing up.   Resources Referenced: Children of Character Cards https://nohighercalling.org/shop/family-resources/children-of-character/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.
