EP. 28 Shepherding The Home: God's Pattern For Parenting with Gina Romero

What does it mean to truly shepherd your home? In this episode, we explore God's beautiful design for parenting—not as a system of behavior management, but as a calling to lovingly guide, nurture, and disciple the children He has entrusted to us. Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as a Shepherd who leads with wisdom, protects with compassion, and gently directs His people toward truth. As parents, we are invited to reflect that same heart within our homes. We'll discuss how shepherding differs from merely enforcing rules, why relationship is the foundation of effective parenting, and how grace, truth, love, and boundaries work together to create an environment where children can flourish. You'll be encouraged to view your role not simply as raising responsible adults, but as cultivating hearts that know, trust, and follow God. Whether you're in the toddler years, navigating the challenges of adolescence, or simply seeking a more Christ-centered vision for your family, this conversation will help you embrace parenting as one of God's most important discipleship opportunities. Join me as we discover how ordinary moments in the home can become spiritual opportunities to point our children toward the Good Shepherd and His enduring love.

EP. 24 God's Hand in Every Chapter with Alice Murray

In this inspiring and deeply thoughtful episode, I sit down with Alice H. Murray — a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, longtime adoption attorney, and author of God Adopted Us First: Faith Lessons From an Adoption Attorney's Adventures, The Secret of Chimneys, and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: An Agatha Christie Mystery. Together, we explore the unexpected ways God can redirect our careers and callings, often weaving purpose into places we never anticipated. Alice shares wisdom gathered through decades of practicing adoption law, raising a family, and pursuing her passion for literature and faith-filled storytelling. We discuss the importance of cultivating homes filled with books, stories, and conversations that reflect our Christian values — creating spaces where even the literature on our shelves can serve as quiet witnesses to God's truth. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that faith is not only something we profess, but something we live out daily through our work, our homes, our hospitality, and the legacy we leave for future generations. Whether you are navigating a career transition, building a Christ-centered home, or seeking encouragement to boldly walk out your faith, this episode will inspire you to see God's hand in every chapter of your story.
