Mother’s Day Series: Early Motherhood | Finding Grace in the Chaos with Rebecca Gedeon

Summer Homeschool Series | The Homeschool Conversation

Could our family ever homeschool? Maybe the thought has crossed your mind after a hard school day, a conversation with another mom, or just quietly in your heart. In today’s very real episode of Behind the Mic with Trixie (recorded from my minivan—because motherhood 😅), we’re opening the door to an honest summer conversation about homeschooling. This episode isn’t about convincing anyone to homeschool. Public school moms, private school moms, homeschool moms—you all belong here. Instead, we’re talking about something deeper: faithfully raising little hearts, discipleship at home, intentional motherhood, and the questions so many moms quietly carry. Over the next few weeks, we’ll talk honestly about homeschooling—the fears, the questions, the realities, and the heart behind it all. And next episode? I’m sharing the real story behind why I never thought we’d homeschool either. ✨ Whether you homeschool or not, this conversation is for every mom longing to raise children who love Jesus, trust His Word, and never lose their wonder. In this episode: • Why homeschooling keeps coming up in conversations with moms • Why this series is not about pressure or convincing • Questions many moms quietly carry about education and discipleship • A look at what’s coming in this summer homeschool conversation 🎙️ Wonderkeepers — our Christ-centered family podcast for kids: devotionals, science, history, and wonder—all pointing back to our Creator.

The Legacy Years | Seeing God's Faithfulness Unfold

What happens when the little hands you once held are now raising families of their own? In this heartfelt episode of Behind the Mic, Trixie sits down with Patty Cerpa—a wife of 38 years, mother of five, grandmother of nine, ministry leader, and faithful follower of Christ—to talk about the beautiful and sometimes difficult transition into the later seasons of motherhood. Together, they discuss parenting through the teenage years, learning to release adult children into God's care, navigating mistakes with grace, and trusting the Lord when motherhood looks very different than it once did. Patty also shares powerful stories of God's faithfulness, family restoration, answered prayers, and the joy of watching generations grow in faith. If you've ever wondered whether the prayers, tears, and faithful years of motherhood truly matter, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that God is still working—even when we cannot yet see the fruit. ✨ In this episode: * Parenting through the teenage years * Learning to release control and trust God * Restoring relationships with adult children * Grandparenthood and generational faith * God's faithfulness through every season * The power of prayer and perseverance

Mother's Day Series: The Growing Years | Walking Beside Them

There comes a moment in motherhood when everything begins to shift. Your children aren’t so little anymore… but they’re not fully grown either. They’re asking deeper questions, forming their own thoughts, and stepping into the world in new ways. And in this season, we’re invited into something new—not just caring for them, but walking beside them. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Abby Bautista as we talk about the beauty and challenges of the growing years. Together, we reflect on: – the transition from little years to growing independence – shaping character and guiding hearts – giving space while staying close – trusting God in this changing season Because right here, in the middle of it all, God is still faithfully with us.

Mother's Day Series: The First Time Mom | Wait...I’m Someone’s Mom?

This episode is all about the beginning of motherhood. Today, I’m sitting down with Ruby Salinas as we open up an honest conversation about becoming a mom for the very first time—the beauty, the overwhelm, and everything in between. From those early “wait… I’m someone’s mom?” moments to learning how to care for a little life while you’re still growing yourself, this conversation is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out. We talk about: – giving yourself grace in the learning – finding your rhythm as a new mom – depending on God in the middle of exhaustion – and the quiet, powerful moments that shape your motherhood If you’re a first-time mom… or even just remembering those early days, I hope this conversation reminds you: God chose you for your child—and He will equip you every step of the way.
