Free to Grow and Change in Motherhood: Aha Moments from M is for Mama + A Special Message for First-Time Moms (Ep 25)

Today we’re back for part two of a conversation with Jessica McCraney (if you haven’t listened to part 1, feel free to go back and listen here!) on Biblical motherhood vs. our culture’s view of motherhood. In this episode, we share the changes we’ve made in our lives and mothering after reading the book M is for Mama by Abbie Halberstadt. We also discuss Jessica’s second pregnancy while mothering a toddler and how she’s preparing for post-partum this time. If you’re wondering:  * If your perspective on motherhood matters * What it actually means to be a gentle parent * If your words have power over yourself or your child/ren * About another mom’s biggest post-partum surprise! * What a second-time mom will do differently this time around  * What to do with intrusive thoughts post-partum Then you’re in the right place! Resources mentioned:  M is for Mama (Abbie Halberstadt)  As always, thank you so much for listening! I’m so grateful that you’re joining me on this journey of pursuing Christ and finding freedom in Him.  OUR PRODUCTS Shop our TSHIRT OF THE MONTH and join the Joyful Mama Movement here [https://shop.miraculousfreedom.com/product/joyful-mama-tee-free-lip-balm-lotion/WD75T67NWQK6JLBX2TOFHXUP?cs=true&cst=custom]: https://shop.miraculousfreedom.com/product/joyful-mama-tee-free-lip-balm-lotion/WD75T67NWQK6JLBX2TOFHXUP?cs=true&cst=custom [https://shop.miraculousfreedom.com/product/joyful-mama-tee-free-lip-balm-lotion/WD75T67NWQK6JLBX2TOFHXUP?cs=true&cst=custom]  📝Are you ready to cultivate a healthier thought-life in 2026?

Free to Become a Joyful Mama: A Biblical Response to Our Culture’s View of Motherhood (Ep 24)

Y’all, this episode was SO fun for me to film, and I’m so happy to share it with you today! Please welcome back bestie of the pod, Jessica McCraney for a talk on all things motherhood! As you’ll hear in today’s heartfelt episode, Jessica and I became moms around the same time, and having a friend to journey through motherhood with has been SUCH a blessing. At two years in, we are still relatively new to mom life, but we are both committed to glorifying God in our motherhood, maintaining the view that our children are GIFTS, and allowing the Lord to sanctify us within the walls of our homes as we do the holy work of changing diapers, feeding babies, and chasing toddlers.  I do want to let you know, if you’re struggling with infertility or grieving the loss of an infant, there is a very brief pregnancy announcement within the episode around minute 6 and it lasts for about 15 seconds. Feel free to skip ahead. The outro of this episode has more details on the announcement, so if you’d rather not hear that, please skip that as well!  If you’ve ever wondered:  * How God sees children & motherhood * If motherhood is actually a ministry or not * How to gain support in motherhood/share struggles without complaining * If the Bible instructs parents to not only LOVE their children but enjoy them Then you’re in the right place!  Scriptures shared:  Psalm 127:3-6 Resources mentioned:  Surprised by Motherhood (Lisa Jo Baker)  As always, thank you so much for listening!

Free to Glorify God with Your Gifts: Christian Fiction Author Chat (Ep 23)

Today's BONUS episode is fun and special! When I interviewed Mr. Bill & Mrs. Crystal about The International Guest House, I couldn't help but ask Mr. Bill a few questions about his writing journey too! In the episode, we said he'd written 11 books, BUT I realized later I'd left one out of the count, so the current number he's got published is 12, with 13 and 14 on their way.  Although this content IS about books and writing, I love the principles Mr. Bill shares & think they can be applied to multiple areas of life. Especially in this day and age, it's tempting to write (or perform, or do any hobby!) for the masses and fame; Mr. Bill gently reminds us that prioritizing impact and writing for an audience of One is what truly matters.  ✨ Topics covered: How to start writing a book (even if you don’t feel like a “writer”) The difference between storytelling and wordsmithing Writing for impact vs writing for fame Faith, purpose, and Christian themes in storytelling Building characters and meaningful narratives Finding time and discipline to write Why writing for a small audience still matters 🎧 This episode was originally from the Miraculous Freedom Podcast and is now featured on Charles’s Chapters—a channel dedicated to books, reading, and storytelling.

Free to Make Disciples at Any Age: How to Build Life-on-Life Relationships (Ep 21)

“Making disciples” is sort of a buzzword in church circles, but what does it really mean? And at what age are you considered an “older woman” (Titus 2:3-5)? Spoiler: Even if you’re a teenager, you’re an “older woman” to someone! In today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing what I’ve learned about discipleship over the past 10 years, AND I’ll share an (almost) embarrassing story about my first reaction to hearing that discipleship was part of my job description overseas. If you’re curious as to:  * Who is eligible to disciple someone  * What the term “life-on-life discipleship” means * Why Christians are called to make disciples * Why YOU can consider discipling someone  * What discipleship meetings look like Then you’re in the right place!  Scriptures from today’s episode:  * Matthew 28:19-20 * Titus 2:3-5 * 2 Timothy 2:2 * Deuteronomy 6:6-8 * Ephesians 2:10 * Psalm 145:1-7 Discipleship resources (some were mentioned in the episode, and some were not!
