    58: Building A Marriage That Lasts (with Abby from @an.intentional.wife)

    In this episode, we interview Abby from @an.intentional.wife. Jess found Abby on Instagram over one of her viral reels (listen to find out what it was about). Abby opens up to us about how to have an intentional marriage, the little things that make a huge difference to support your marriage and the little things that create tension and disconnect in a marriage. We talk about how to date your spouse again and the importance of dressing up for your husband (you'll love the way she and her husband figured out a spicy way to do this!) We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved chatting with Abby. Disclaimer: Jess's audio was not working well in this episode - sorry in advance!

    57: Is The 'Redemptive Birth' Movement Helping or Hurting Mothers?

    In this episode, we talk all about the concept of 'redemptive birth' and how many women who have a traumatic first birth are often encouraged to believe that their next birth will be different and 'redeem' the first one. However, we want to chat about how that is not always helpful, and doesn't fully align with the Bible.  Bella speaks about her first birth that was deemed traumatic and how she has been wrestling with the idea of praying for a redemptive second birth. We want to encourage women that it's important to pray for protection and God's presence for their births, while viewing birth in the light of Scripture, in all its pain as a result of sin and glorious beauty as a result of the outcome of a child. We pray that this episode blesses you and encourages you to seek God whether you are expecting a baby or not.

    56: Parenting Biblically Series: Spiritual Warfare No Mother Wants To Face (with Julie Robertson)

    *Trigger warning: in this episode, we talk about sexual abuse. How do you respond when your daughter has been sexually abused?  How do you move on? How do you plead with God as her mother? In episode 56, our final episode of our Parenting Biblically series, we chat with Julie Robertson (a.k.a like our second mum), about her daughter, Jordan's journey in being sexually abused as a child. Julie shares honestly about what it was like finding out, how she responded, what kind of spiritual warfare she faced and how she and her husband, Brett, decided to choose to live by faith and forgive. But there's good news at the end. Julie shares how God redeemed Jordan and where she is today. We share this story because Christian mothers are at war, whether this is your story or another. And we must put on the full armour of God and step in the gap for our children.  Julie is a great example of a warrior mother.
