  2. How to Decide If You Can Afford a Big Family: Insights from a Mom of 15

    How to Decide If You Can Afford a Big Family: Insights from a Mom of 15

    In today’s episode, I answer one crucial question every parent faces when deciding on their family size: Can I afford more children? I break down the true cost of raising children, using the latest stats from the U.S. government, showing how much it costs to raise kids from birth to age 17—and how that stacks up against real-life family finances. With 15 children of our own, my husband and I have experienced both the highs and lows of parenthood and finances. Despite the staggering costs—over $4.6 million—we’ve learned that faith, trust, and God's provision have made all the difference in our journey. Throughout this episode, I’ll share stories of how our family managed during the leanest times, from homelessness to financial struggle, and how God's provision always met our needs. If you’re wondering whether you can afford a larger family, listen in as I offer my personal insights, challenges, and ultimate joy in raising a large family on a tight budget. We may not have had wealth, but our children have been priceless treasures in every way. For more content like this, along with loads of freebies, be sure and visit my website, MomDelights.com

    Respecting Childbirth With the Mom of 15

    This post is another installment in our "unit study" for mommies on Babies. In earlier portions of this unit study we have covered things such as the myth of overpopulation and other general aspects of allowing children into our lives. Today we will focus on respecting childbirth. I have given birth to 15 lively children, one-at-a-time. In medical terms, I am a "great-grand multipara." I suppose you could say that I am an "expert" in my field (chuckling slightly). What have I learned? Be sure and listen to find out!

  7. Does Having Babies Make Logical Sense?

    Does Having Babies Make Logical Sense?

    As a mom of 15, whenever I announced the births of our children as a product of our trust in God, someone would inevitably exclaim, "But God gave you a brain, too, so why don't you use it?" The implication was that having babies is not logical. But is it logical to have babies? I think so, and in this video I will give some reasons why preventing babies is harmful, both to individuals and to the society at large, while having babies benefits everyone. The blog post for this podcast (with loads of links to articles, etc.) is below: https://momdelights.com/index.php/2024/12/29/what-babies-do-to-us/

  8. Receive a Child, Receive Jesus II Babies Unit Study for Mommies

    Receive a Child, Receive Jesus II Babies Unit Study for Mommies

    We have been trained to see everything from a negative side-view. Governments, money, morality, social issues, standard of living. I believe that thinking and speaking with a dark foreboding expectation of the future sets things in motion so that our decisions begin creating the very things we say we dread. Our expectation of the future is causing us to build that future. However, the opposite is also true. If we can turn our gaze on Jesus, our expectations can be adjusted so they are positive. Hope of the future sets the ball rolling. When we believe everything is working for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purposes, our individual decisions begin to look different. We are falling into plans for a hopeful future, and, in doing so we are helping to create that future as an optimistic one.
