    65: Are All Christian Married Couples Called To Have Children?

    This week on the pod, Jess and Bella wrestle with one of the purposes of marriage – having and raising kids. They explore reasons couples may put off having kids or even go childless. What about IVF? Single-mum by choice? They also discuss the difficult reality of declining birth rates across the globe. We hope the episode encourages you this week! Please bear in mind that we are sensitive to the fact that many couples desire to have children but experience infertility, so we are not talking about these couples in today's conversation.

    64: Type A, Type B and Type C Mums: Which One Are We?

    This week on the pod, Jess and Bella chat about the viral pop psychology label of personality types and how they can be applied too quickly and readily in boxing us all into a comparison game. Our values may drive some of the ways we approach things as mums, but sometimes we are different in different seasons, and sometimes we just don't meet the real and imagined standards of culture. And that's okay. We hope the episode encourages you this week!

    63: Let's Talk About Sex and Submission in Marriage

    Friends, it's time we go there. This episode is a response to some comments we have received in a previous episode about what biblical leadership and submission looks like in a marriage. We also chat about what that looks like when it comes to sex and intimacy with your spouse. We encourage both wives and husbands to listen to this together, because we think it will be a benefit to your marriage in some way (maybe get your husbands to skip the life update part as there is mention of some TMI girly stuff!) We want to add a disclaimer that we are not qualified Pastors, Counsellors or Theological Experts on this subject. We are coming to this conversation having wrestled with a lot of these things in our own marriage, looking honestly at what Scripture says and how we can best apply that to our marriages.
