One of my fav podcasts

As a fellow believer, military wife, and homeschooling mom I greatly enjoy this podcast. I don’t have a large family (mama of 2) but I still glean so much wisdom and encouragement from these episodes. Thank you for sharing your story and experience so well and helping other moms like me seek truth and wisdom in God through motherhood. Definitely give it a listen!

Oh, the heartstrings! You are so full of godly wisdom and that’s one reason I absolutely love your podcast. Thank you so much for these reminders.

Encouragement for every mom

Love this podcast - easy to listen too, but also super grounded in the word. Very relatable and encouraging at the same time. Seriously feels like sitting down with a cup of coffee and talking life, God, and parenting with a dear friend.
