    167 | When Domestic Violence Becomes a Family Legacy | Featuring Author Linda Diane

    Surviving Abuse, Breaking Cycles & Finding Blessings | Featuring Author Linda Diane Hey there Grandma, What happens when the abuse you survive becomes the behavior your children repeat? And how do you protect the next generation from the same painful cycle? In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Namma welcomes author Linda Diane to WNLOW with Namma & Jo for a courageous conversation about domestic violence, generational trauma, survival, and the power of breaking destructive family patterns. Linda Diane is the author of the fictional book Two Alcoholics Plus One Narcissist Equals I'm Blessed, a compelling story about a woman who endures abuse across two generations of her family. After surviving an abusive marriage and leaving her husband, the central character faces another heartbreaking reality: her son has grown up repeating the abusive behavior he witnessed from his father. The cycle becomes even more complicated when her son marries a woman portrayed as narcissistic and abusive, bringing further pain into the family. Now a grandmother, the central character finds herself enduring additional mistreatment while trying to maintain a relationship with and protect her twin grandchildren. Two alcoholics. One narcissist. Generations of abuse. Yet the story is ultimately one of survival and blessing. Through this fictional narrative, Linda Diane explores difficult questions that many families face: How does domestic violence affect children who grow up witnessing abuse? What happens when destructive behaviors are repeated from one generation to the next? How can grandmothers recognize unhealthy family patterns while protecting their own well-being? What does it mean to survive abuse without allowing it to define your future? How can faith, healing, and healthy boundaries help families begin breaking generational cycles? Christian Grandma, this conversation is especially important for YOU. Your love for your grandchildren may be unconditional, but that does not mean you must accept abuse to demonstrate that love. Sometimes protecting your legacy means recognizing destructive patterns, establishing healthy boundaries, and seeking the help necessary to create a safer future. As we continue celebrating three years of WNLOW, this episode reminds us that legacy is not only about what we pass down. Sometimes it's about what we must refuse to pass on. Join Namma and Linda Diane for this important Domestic Violence Awareness Month conversation about family, faith, survival, and the courage to break the cycle. Because at WNLOW, we're committed to nurturing Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ through prayer, biblical teaching, and legacy building. We don't just leave an inheritance. We leave a legacy that points the next generation to Christ. Content Advisory: This episode discusses domestic violence, family abuse, and emotional trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

    166 | The Book of Josiah: How to Keep Your Eye on the Prize

    Hey there Grandma, Are you so focused on what's behind you that you're losing sight of what God has ahead of you? In this powerful new episode of The Book of Josiah, 10-year-old Josiah takes the microphone to share an encouraging message from Philippians 3:12–14 about perseverance, purpose, and keeping your eye on the prize! The Apostle Paul reminds us that although we haven't reached perfection, we must keep pressing forward, forgetting what lies behind and reaching toward what lies ahead. And that's exactly what Jo wants to remind us today! Whether you're a Kingdom kid learning to overcome challenges or a Christian grandma encouraging the next generation, this message is for YOU. Through Paul's words, Josiah challenges us to remember three important truths: Don't let your past hold you back. Yesterday's mistakes, disappointments, and setbacks don't have to determine your tomorrow. Keep pressing forward. Following Christ requires determination, faith, and a willingness to keep going even when things get difficult. Keep your eye on the prize. Our ultimate goal isn't earthly recognition or success, but answering God's call and pursuing the heavenly prize found in Christ Jesus. Christian Grandma, this is also an opportunity to remind your Kingdom kids that following Jesus is a lifelong journey. They won't always get everything right, but they can learn to get back up, trust God, and continue moving forward. And as we continue celebrating three years of WNLOW with Namma & Jo, what a timely reminder that our journey isn't finished. God is still working, and we must keep pressing toward what He has called us to do!   Here's a question for YOU and your Kingdom kids: What is one thing you need to leave behind so you can move forward in what God has called you to do? Grab your Bible, turn to Philippians 3:12–14, and join Josiah for a message that will encourage you to stay focused, remain faithful, and keep pressing toward the prize!   Because at WNLOW, we're committed to nurturing Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ through prayer, biblical teaching, and legacy building. Don't look back. Don't give up. Keep your eye on the prize!   With love and child-like faith, Namma & Jo   MAKE - A - WILL Resources Click Here CONTACT US: Email - info@wnlowwithNammaNJo.com   Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → @WnlowWithNammaNJo ✅ Like, Share & Comment to support the journey! ✅ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wnlowwithnammanjo Facebook: https://bit.ly/wnlowcommunity

    165 | How WNLOW Started Part 2 | Our 3rd Anniversary Replay

    Hey there WNLOW Family! Three years later, we're going back to where it all began! As we continue celebrating the third anniversary of WNLOW with Namma & Jo, we're taking a special trip down memory lane! Last week, in Episode 164, we revisited how WNLOW got started. This week, we're continuing the story by bringing back one of our earliest recordings - our original Episode 3: How WNLOW Got Started, Part 2! But first, Namma and Jo have a fresh introduction for our WNLOW family before we turn back the clock to hear where this journey began. What started as a grandmother and grandson sharing their faith has grown into a podcast dedicated to helping Christian grandmas nurture their Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ through prayer, biblical teaching, and legacy building. As you listen to this anniversary replay, we invite you to reflect on your own journey. What has God started in your life that may become a legacy for generations to come? Sometimes we don't recognize the significance of a beginning until we look back and see how far God has brought us. To our faithful listeners, guests, supporters, and the entire WNLOW family, THANK YOU for being part of these three incredible years. Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean so much to us. And as Namma's mother would often say: “Don't forget to remember.” Join us as we revisit our beginnings, celebrate God's faithfulness, and look forward to what He has in store for WNLOW in Year Four! Because we don't just leave an inheritance. We leave a legacy that points the next generation to Christ.   With love and child-like faith, Namma & Jo   MAKE - A - WILL Resources Click Here CONTACT US: Email - info@wnlowwithNammaNJo.com   Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → @WnlowWithNammaNJo ✅ Like, Share & Comment to support the journey! ✅ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wnlowwithnammanjo Facebook: https://bit.ly/wnlowcommunity

    163 | Grandparents Month Finale with Auntie Kathy Conner

    Hey there Grandma, What can 11 grandchildren teach you about being a grandma? A whole lot! We’re wrapping up Grandparents Month with a very special episode of WNLOW with Namma & Jo—and this time, Josiah is taking over the microphone! Jo sits down with his Auntie Kathy Conner, a proud grandmother of 11, for a heartfelt conversation about what her grandchildren have taught her along the journey of being a grandma. With 11 different personalities, ages, needs, and experiences, Auntie Kathy has learned that grandparenting is about much more than simply loving your grandchildren. It’s about building relationships, creating memories, sharing wisdom, praying for them, and being intentional about the legacy you leave behind. Jo asks Auntie Kathy about the joys and lessons of being a grandmother, how she makes her grandchildren feel special, what they have taught her, and what she hopes they will always remember about her. And because this is Jo interviewing his Auntie Kathy, you can expect some fun and special family moments along the way! Christian Grandma, as we close out Grandparents Month, Auntie Kathy’s story gives each of us something to think about: What are your grandchildren teaching YOU about being their grandma? Sometimes we’re so focused on what we need to teach the next generation that we miss what God may be teaching us through them. Whether you have one grandchild or 11, your presence, prayers, faith, stories, and love can leave an imprint that lasts for generations.   Grandparents Month may be ending, but our assignment isn’t. Keep praying. Keep teaching. Keep making memories. Keep building legacy. And keep nurturing your Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ. Because we don’t just leave an inheritance. We leave a legacy that points the next generation to Christ.   With love and child-like faith, Namma & Jo   MAKE - A - WILL Resources Click Here   CONTACT US: Email - info@wnlowwithNammaNJo.com   Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → @WnlowWithNammaNJo ✅ Like, Share & Comment to support the journey! ✅ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wnlowwithnammanjo Facebook: https://bit.ly/wnlowcommunity

    162 | What Every Grandchild Should Know About Their Grandma

    How much does your grandchild really know about YOU, Grandma? As WNLOW continues celebrating Grandparents Month, the microphone is changing hands! This time, Jo is asking the questions as he sits down with his very own Namma for a special conversation about family, faith, memories, and legacy. Christian Grandma, as you listen, consider this: How many of these questions could your grandchildren answer about YOU? Your grandchildren know you as Grandma, Nanna, Namma, Mimi, Gigi—or whatever special name they call you. But do they know your story? Do they know what God has brought you through? Do they know the prayers you've prayed for them? Do they know the faith, wisdom, and family history you hope they'll carry forward? Maybe it's time to tell them. Don't wait for someday to share the stories, lessons, testimonies, and memories that make up your family's legacy. Because sometimes leaving a legacy begins with a grandchild asking a question—and a grandparent taking the time to answer. Join Jo and Namma for this special Grandparents Month conversation as WNLOW continues nurturing Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ through prayer, biblical teaching, and legacy building. And remember: Don't forget to remember.   With love and child-like faith, Namma & Jo   MAKE - A - WILL Resources Click Here CONTACT US: Email - info@wnlowwithNammaNJo.com   Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → @WnlowWithNammaNJo ✅ Like, Share & Comment to support the journey! ✅ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wnlowwithnammanjo Facebook: https://bit.ly/wnlowcommunity

    Grandmas, Grandpas, and grandparents everywhere, Jo has something he wants to say to YOU! As we continue celebrating Grandparents Month, 10-year-old Josiah is taking over the microphone for a very special episode of WNLOW with Namma & Jo. No interview. No Namma leading the conversation. This one belongs to Jo. He's honoring grandparents everywhere, with an extra-special message for the faithful grandparents who listen, support, pray for, and are part of our WNLOW family. From the memories you create and the wisdom you share to the prayers you pray and the faith you pass down, Jo wants to remind you that what you do as a grandparent matters. And sometimes, you need to hear that directly from a grandchild. So wherever you are listening, this special Grandparents Month tribute is dedicated to YOU. Happy Grandparents Month from Jo and the entire WNLOW family! Keep nurturing your Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ through prayer, biblical teaching, and legacy building.   With love and child-like faith, Namma & Jo   MAKE - A - WILL Resources Click Here   CONTACT US: Email - info@wnlowwithNammaNJo.com   Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → @WnlowWithNammaNJo ✅ Like, Share & Comment to support the journey! ✅ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wnlowwithnammanjo Facebook: https://bit.ly/wnlowcommunity

    160 | Helping Your Kingdom Kids Find Their Rhythm with Dori Stahle

    Hey there Grandma, Could something as simple as rhythm help you connect with and support your Kingdom kids differently? As we continue celebrating Grandparents Month, Namma sits down with Dori Stahle, a “rockin’ grandma” of three and the owner of Next Stage Drumming LLC, for a fascinating conversation about drumming, faith, connection, and supporting children and adults with neurodivergent needs. Dori shares how she uses rhythm and hand drumming with clients experiencing autism, ADHD, anxiety, stress, and challenges with focus and emotional regulation. She also introduces simple techniques involving rhythm, breathing, affirmations, prayer, and Scripture that families can explore together. And Grandma, you don't even need a drum to get started! Throughout the conversation, Dori shares practical ideas that can help you think differently about connecting with a child or grandchild who may process, communicate, focus, or respond differently. But this conversation isn't only about drumming. It's also about recognizing that every Kingdom kid is uniquely created by God. Sometimes nurturing them means being willing to learn new ways to reach them, encourage them, and meet them where they are. Dori also shares her own powerful journey. She didn't seriously begin drumming until age 47, and after a serious accident changed her life, she says prayer helped lead her back to something God had already placed in her hands: her drums. Her story leaves us with a powerful reminder: “You don't know what God can do until you say yes.”   Christian Grandma, Here's Your Challenge Think about your own Kingdom kids. Is there a child or grandchild who learns differently, communicates differently, struggles with focus or anxiety, or simply needs another way to connect? Instead of immediately asking, “What's wrong?”, consider asking: “What might help me connect with this child differently?” Listen to Dori's story. Try one of the simple rhythm activities she shares. Most importantly, pray and ask God for wisdom to help you nurture the unique child He has placed in your life. Then share this episode with another Christian grandma, parent, teacher, or caregiver who could benefit from this conversation. Because nurturing Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ doesn't mean expecting every child to be the same. It means learning how to reach the child God actually gave us.   Connect with Dori Stahle Website + Freebie: https://www.nextstagedrumming.com YouTube: https://www.YouTube.com/@NextStageDrumming Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NextStageDrumming Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@nextstagedori Email: dori@nextstagedrumming.com Dori’s Books Find Your Divine Rhythm | Amazon & Kindle http://amzn.to/1NYTMYP Rise Up & Rock | Amazon & Kindle https://amzn.to/36W7IV8   WNLOW with Namma & Jo, nurturing Kingdom kids into warriors for Christ through prayer, biblical teaching, and legacy building.
