EP 17: What If Jesus Says, "I Never Knew You"?: How to Know you are truly saved

How do you know if you're truly saved? Can a Christian lose their salvation? What did Jesus mean when He said, "I never knew you"? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Amanda Grantham—a homeschooling mom, pastor's wife, worship leader, and women's ministry leader—to have an honest conversation about salvation, faith, assurance, and spiritual doubt. Together we discuss: * How to know if you are saved * The meaning of "I never knew you" (Matthew 7:23) * The difference between knowing about Jesus and having a relationship with Him * Signs of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life * The fruit of genuine faith * Why so many Christian women struggle with fear, insecurity, and feeling "not enough" * Baptism and salvation * Finding confidence in God's grace instead of striving for perfection If you've ever questioned your salvation, wrestled with assurance of faith, or wondered whether you're truly following Jesus, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for your walk with God.

EP 15: Slowing Down The Bible Recap: How to Stop Rushing and Start Connecting with God

Have you ever felt like you’re rushing through your Bible reading just to keep up? Like you’re showing up every day… but not actually slowing down enough to connect with God? In this episode, I share what happened when I lost my 474-day Bible streak—and why it was the shift I didn’t know I needed. Instead of trying to keep up with a fast pace, I started slowing down—using a familiar Bible reading plan as a guide, but giving myself permission to move differently. If you’ve been wanting to slow down while still following along… use your paper Bible… watch the videos… actually have time to explore what you’re learning… and dive into the note sections instead of skipping past them… this episode is for you. We’re also talking about how to ask simple but powerful questions like: 👉 What is my “God shot” for today? …and actually give yourself the space to answer it. This is for the busy mom who wants to stay consistent in the Word—without feeling rushed, overwhelmed, or disconnected. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, not just completion—this is your invitation to slow down. Lets Connect find me on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/kelsie.folsom/]

EP 14: Stop Being the Referee: Teaching Kids to Solve Their Own Problems

Are your kids constantly fighting, arguing, and running to you to solve every little problem? Do you feel like a full-time referee in your own home? In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop carrying the mental load of breaking up every argument—and start raising children who can actually solve their own problems. As a mom of multiple kids (and someone who grew up as an only child), I know how overwhelming constant sibling conflict can feel. But I’ve learned that if we want to raise emotionally healthy, responsible kids, we have to shift from being the referee to being the trainer. Inside this episode, I’m sharing practical parenting strategies that are actually working in our home, including: * How to stop constant tattling and get your kids to take responsibility for their actions * Simple ways to teach conflict resolution and problem-solving skills * What to say when your kids come to you arguing * How to set boundaries that reduce fighting and bickering * Why listening before reacting builds trust and honesty in your home * The mindset shift that will help you stay calmer in the chaos We’ll also talk about the importance of modeling emotional regulation as parents, and how our responses shape the way our kids handle conflict. If you’re trying to raise kind, respectful, and independent kids—without losing your sanity in the process—this episode will give you simple, actionable tools you can start using today. 📖 Biblical encouragement included: We’re called to raise peacemakers, not just problem reporters.
