    58. Top 5 Ways to be Happy | Google vs. The Bible

    What does it actually mean to be happy—and should happiness even be something we’re chasing as Christian women? I did what any curious person would do…I asked Google. I looked up the top ways people say we can be happy, and then I compared those ideas with what the Bible actually says. And here’s what I discovered: Scripture speaks into every one of them. But when we slow down and compare Google’s advice with God’s Word, we find something much deeper than surface-level happiness. Yes, relationships matter. Yes, gratitude changes our perspective. Yes, caring for our bodies matters. Yes, we’re called to serve others. And yes, Scripture tells us not to live consumed by worry. But friend…none of those things can give you the lasting peace and joy your heart is really looking for. In this episode, we’re taking what culture says about happiness and putting it through the truth of God’s Word. We’ll talk about: Why Christian moms need relationships—but can’t expect people to be their source How biblical gratitude is different from toxic positivity What Scripture says about caring for our bodies Why serving others can be life-giving—but also become people-pleasing The difference between setting our minds on truth and what the world calls mindfulness Why Jesus promises peace even when life isn’t peaceful The difference between happiness, biblical joy, and lasting peace Why you don’t need another strategy—you need Jesus Because here’s the truth: The Bible never promises us a happy life. It promises something deeper. Peace in chaos. Joy in hardship. Hope when we can’t see what’s next. Purpose in the ordinary. And a God who never leaves us. And if you’ve never placed your faith in Jesus, I’ll also walk through the Gospel and what it means to have a real relationship with Him. If you’re an overwhelmed, anxious, stressed-out Christian mom who is tired of trying to fix everything on your own and just wants real peace in the middle of real life, this episode is for you.

    57. Can You Really Have Peace After Tragedy? A Christian Mom's Story of Hope, Grief & Faith with Mae Renfroe

    What would happen if your worst nightmare became your reality? Would you still trust God? In today's incredibly moving conversation, I'm joined by Mae Renfroe—a wife, homeschool mom of ten, author, podcast host, and speaker—who shares the heartbreaking story of losing her 14-year-old son in a tragic four-wheeler accident. Mae opens up about the questions, grief, disappointment, and wrestling that followed, but even more importantly, she shares the supernatural peace God gave her in the middle of unimaginable pain. We talk about what it really means to trust God when life doesn't make sense, why our circumstances don't determine God's goodness, and how it's possible to experience joy and abundant life even after devastating loss. If you've been battling anxiety, walking through grief, wondering why God allowed something painful to happen, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, I pray this episode reminds you that God has not abandoned you. His peace is real, His promises are true, and He is still working even when you can't see it. I know this conversation encouraged me deeply, and I pray it does the same for you.

    56. Overwhelmed? Learn How to Have Peace in the Chaos

    No Matter Your Circumstances, God Gives You Peace Have you ever thought, “If this situation would just change, then I would finally have peace”? Maybe it’s your marriage. Your kids. Your anxiety. Your health. Your finances. Your circumstances. We often believe peace comes when life becomes peaceful—but that’s not what Scripture teaches. In this episode of Spiritual Growth for Christian Moms, we’re talking about the supernatural peace that only comes from God. The kind of peace that doesn’t mean there are no storms, but instead gives you calm, strength, and hope while you are walking through them. We’ll talk about: ✨ The difference between worldly peace and biblical peace ✨ Why God’s peace “surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7) ✨ How Jesus gave us peace as a gift in John 14:27 ✨ Why peace is something we receive from God, not something we create ourselves ✨ How Paul experienced peace even through suffering and difficult circumstances ✨ How keeping our minds focused on God leads to the “perfect peace” described in Isaiah 26:3 Friend, your circumstances may change, but God doesn’t. The same Jesus who calmed the waves, comforted the broken, and strengthened His followers is offering that same peace to you today. You don’t have to wait until life gets easier to experience peace. You can have the peace of God right in the middle of the storm. Grab your coffee (or your Alani 😉), open your Bible, and let’s grow together. 💜 Want more encouragement, resources, and ways to grow closer to God?

    55. How to Study Your Bible with Angie Baughman ⭐

    How do you read your Bible when you're already overwhelmed by motherhood, work, laundry, and life? In today's conversation, I'm joined by Angie Baughman, pastor, Bible teacher, author, podcaster, and founder of Steady On Ministries. Angie shares how years of studying Scripture—and walking through trauma, a devastating car accident, and the everyday challenges of motherhood—taught her that God doesn't call us to live from our emotions. He calls us to stand firmly on His truth. If you've ever opened your Bible and immediately felt intimidated, guilty, or unsure where to begin...this episode is for you. We talk about: ✨ Why Bible study feels overwhelming for so many women ✨ How Scripture quiets anxiety and fear ✨ Finding peace when motherhood feels heavy ✨ The difference between reading the Bible and truly studying it ✨ Angie's simple "Step By Step" Bible study method ✨ How to build a consistent relationship with God—even with a busy schedule Whether you've been following Jesus for years or you're just trying to reconnect with Him again, I pray this conversation encourages you to take one small step toward opening God's Word.

    What happens when every parent's worst nightmare becomes reality? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Jill Sullivan to talk about the loss of her daughter Hannah, who was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer at just 16 years old and passed away one year later at the age of 17. Jill shares Hannah's incredible faith, the difficult journey through diagnosis and treatment, and the heartbreaking reality of learning to live after the loss of a child.

How do we keep moving forward when our hearts are broken?
