    Your Hope Is Not on the Ballot | S2 Ep41

    The election is Tuesday. God is still sovereign on Wednesday. Election season can bring plenty of fear, frustration, division, and uncertainty. But as Christians, where should our hope really rest? In this timely episode of Truth Over Trends, we’re looking at three biblical reminders for election week: why elections matter but aren’t ultimate, why God’s sovereignty never depends on political outcomes, and why our calling as Christians remains the same regardless of who wins. We’ll talk about engaging thoughtfully in civic life, guarding our hearts against fear, praying for our leaders, and remembering where our true citizenship belongs. Because elections have consequences, but no election can remove God from His throne. Your hope was never on the ballot to begin with. Don’t follow the trends.

    Five Truths Worth Standing For: A Reformation Day Reminder | S2 Ep40

    October 31 isn’t just about Halloween. It’s also Reformation Day—a date that marks a turning point in church history and reminds us why biblical truth is worth standing for. But what exactly was the Protestant Reformation? And why should Christian women care about something that happened more than 500 years ago? I n this episode of Truth Over Trends, we’re taking a quick look at Martin Luther, the Reformation, and five foundational truths known as the five solas: Scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and glory to God alone. These aren’t just lessons from church history. They’re biblical truths that shape how we understand salvation, discern teaching, live out our faith, and disciple the next generation.

    Stop Letting Your Personality Define You | S2 Ep39

    “I'm just Type A.” “I'm an introvert.” “I'm an Enneagram 8.” “That's just how I am.” But what happens when the labels we use to describe ourselves become excuses for the behaviors we're called to change? Personality tests, Enneagram numbers, and endless self-discovery tools have become part of everyday culture. They've even found their way into Christian churches, women's ministries, and conversations about spiritual growth. But just because something helps explain your behavior doesn't mean it excuses it. In this episode of Truth Over Trends, we're examining the Enneagram's origins, its growing influence in Christian circles, and the bigger problem with allowing personality labels to define our identity. We're talking about the difference between self-awareness and self-justification, how easily we put ourselves and our children into boxes, and what Scripture actually teaches about transformation. Because being naturally impatient doesn't excuse impatience. Being strong-willed doesn't excuse controlling behavior.   And being outspoken doesn't give us permission to be unkind. Your personality may explain your tendencies, but it doesn't excuse your sin. Romans 12:2 doesn't call us to discover our personality type and remain there. It calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. God created us as individuals, but He never called us to use our personalities as permission slips to remain unchanged. You are not defined by a number, a label, or a personality test. Your identity is found in Christ.   🎙️ Listen to Truth Over Trends and find more resources at www.HealthyHolyMomlife.com   Don't follow the trends. Follow the Truth.

    Christian Discernment in an AI-Driven World | S2 Ep38

    What happens when we start asking ChatGPT questions we should be taking to God? AI can write your prayers, explain Bible verses, offer parenting advice, and help you make decisions. It can sound knowledgeable, convincing, and even biblical. But just because something sounds like truth doesn't mean it is. Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, learn, parent, and even approach our faith. And while some Christians are avoiding it altogether, others are embracing it without considering where the boundaries should be. So where's the line between using a helpful tool and allowing it to become an authority in our lives?   In this episode of Truth Over Trends, we're tackling a conversation every Christian woman needs to consider: How do we navigate an AI-driven culture without outsourcing our God-given responsibility to think, question, and exercise biblical discernment? I'm sharing how I personally use AI as a busy mom, homeschooler, and business owner, where I believe we need to exercise caution, and why teaching our children to think critically matters more than ever. We'll explore what Scripture teaches about testing what we hear, why AI-generated spiritual advice deserves scrutiny, and how to recognize when convenience is quietly turning into dependence. Because the answer isn't to fear technology—or blindly follow it. Use the tools. Test the answers. Know your Bible. And never confuse artificial intelligence with godly wisdom.   Technology is changing faster than ever. God's Word remains the same.

    Your Health Won’t Change Until Your Habits Do | S2:Ep37

    Most women don’t need more information about how to be healthy. We know we should move our bodies. Drink the water. Eat nourishing food. Get enough sleep. Manage stress. Take care of ourselves. Knowing isn’t usually the problem. Doing it consistently is. In this episode of Truth Over Trends, I’m joined by Brooke Rozmenoski—also known as Brooke Rozzie—a Christian counselor, Functional Nutrition Coach, and founder of Faithfully Nourished. We’re talking about the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it: why motivation isn’t enough, what makes healthy habits sustainable, why accountability matters, and how to find the balance between giving ourselves grace and using grace as an excuse to stay stuck. We also dig into the all-or-nothing mentality that tells us one missed workout, one chaotic weekend, or one imperfect meal means we’ve failed and need to “start over Monday.” Because lasting health isn’t built by constantly starting over. It’s built by continuing to show up. And as Christian women, this conversation goes deeper than changing our bodies.   Our health isn’t our identity, and pursuing health shouldn’t become an obsession. It’s an opportunity to faithfully steward the bodies God has entrusted to us.   You don’t have to change everything tomorrow. But eventually, the things you know have to become things you do.

    Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? | S2:Ep36

    Every October, Christians seem to have the same debate: Should Christians participate in Halloween at all?   Is trick-or-treating harmless fun? What about costumes, pumpkins, harvest festivals, scary decorations, or the darker parts of Halloween? And at what point does a personal conviction become something we start requiring of every other Christian?   In this short episode of Truth Over Trends, Ingrid shares how her own family’s approach to Halloween has gradually changed over the years—and why she believes this conversation is about much more than simply deciding whether Halloween is “good” or “bad.”   We’re talking about what Scripture actually condemns, what may fall under Christian liberty, how Halloween can become an opportunity to teach our children biblical discernment, and why Romans 14 should make us very careful about judging another believer’s conscience in disputable matters.   You don’t have to blindly participate in everything the culture celebrates. But you also don’t have to turn your family’s personal convictions into commands Scripture never gave.   The better question may not be “Can Christians celebrate Halloween?”   It may be:   “How can our family honor Christ in the way we approach it?”   🎙️ Listen now, then come tell me: Has your family’s approach to Halloween changed over the years?   Find more from Truth Over Trends at www.healthyholymomlife.com    Don’t follow the trends.

    You Don’t Have to Homeschool to Disciple Your Kids | S2:Ep35

    You love your kids. You want them grounded in God’s Word. You want to be intentional about what is shaping their hearts and minds. But you don’t homeschool. Maybe you can’t. Maybe you don’t feel called to. Maybe you’ve prayerfully chosen public, private, or Christian school for your family. Does that mean you’ve somehow handed over your role in discipling your children? Absolutely not. In this episode of Truth Over Trends, I’m sitting down with Carrie De Francisco of Coffee With Carrie Homeschool Help to talk about an important distinction: Education and discipleship are not the same thing. Carrie is a retired home educator, teacher, author, speaker, podcast host, and homeschool coach with a BS in Education and an MA in Math Education. She’s also a wife, mom of two adult children, mother-in-law, and soon-to-be Mimi. We’re talking about how Christian parents can remain intentional about discipling their children regardless of where they go to school—how to stay engaged with what they’re learning, navigate cultural influences without parenting from fear, weave faith into ordinary family life, and remember what we can and cannot control as our children grow. Because homeschooling can be a wonderful educational choice. But homeschooling isn’t the Gospel. And it isn’t a prerequisite for faithful Christian parenting. Whether your children learn around your kitchen table or spend their weekdays in a classroom, their greatest need is the same: They need Christ. And you still have countless opportunities to faithfully point them toward Him.

    When You’re Taking the Kids to Church Alone | S2:Ep34

    You’re getting the kids dressed.   You’re getting everyone out the door.   You’re sitting in the church pew.   You’re opening the Bible at home.   You’re praying for your children.   You’re trying to faithfully point your family toward Christ…   But your husband isn’t walking alongside you spiritually.   What do you do when you’re the one carrying much of the spiritual responsibility for your children—and you desperately wish you weren’t doing it alone?   In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, I’m sitting down with my friend Sara, a woman from my own church who has actually walked this road.   Sara came to know Christ later in life, after her marriage and family were already established. As her faith changed, she found herself learning how to follow Christ, take her children to church, and point them toward the Lord without necessarily having her husband walking beside her spiritually.   Today, Sara has been married for nearly 43 years. Her children are grown, she’s now a grandmother, and she has something incredibly valuable to offer the mom who’s still in the middle of it:   Perspective from the other side.   We’re talking honestly about:   Coming to Christ later in marriage Taking your children to church without your husband Carrying the weight of spiritual discipleship largely on your own Loving and respecting your husband through disappointment and loneliness What Sara sees differently now that her children are adults What she wishes she could tell her younger self Trusting God with your husband and your children’s hearts God’s faithfulness through decades of marriage and motherhood   This isn’t an episode about criticizing husbands who aren’t attending church.   It’s an episode about encouraging the woman who is faithfully showing up anyway.   You cannot save your children.   You cannot change your husband.   But you can faithfully follow Christ, love your family, disciple your children, pray, and trust God with what you cannot control.   And if you’re the woman getting everyone ready for church by yourself again this Sunday, I especially hope you’ll listen.   For more biblical encouragement and to join our free Christ Over Culture Moms community, visit:   www.healthyholymomlife.com   And remember, my DMs and email are always open if you need prayer or encouragement.   Don’t follow the trends.
