The Best Biblical Parenting Advice I Ever Got Came From a Man With No Kids | Christian Motherhood

The best mom advice I ever got came from a man who never had kids — Paul, in 1 Thessalonians. This one isn't a list of things you're doing wrong. It's a long, slow look at how Paul loved and raised up a brand-new church he only got a few weeks with before he was torn away — and everything motherhood can learn from his example. We walk through being the same person in every room ("as was his custom"), the ordinary women whose faith bent whole generations, giving your kids your actual life instead of a lesson plan, meeting each child one at a time, the way they catch it just by being near you, refusing to panic when the hard shows up, praying night and day like it's the main move instead of the last one, and being humble enough to send help when you can't be everywhere. And remember when we talked about raising Timothys? Here's the payoff — the Timothy a tired, faithful mama raised in a regular house becomes the very one God sends out to hold up a whole church. Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 1:2, 1:5–6, 2:7–8, 2:11, 2:17–18, 3:2–3, 3:6, 3:10; 2 Timothy 1:5 (Lois & Eunice); and the backstory in Acts 17:1–4 — "as was his custom" and the leading women who believed.   Join the Email list at Torigass.com

How to Break Free From Trauma and Generational Curses: The Biblical Tools for Real Healing That Self Help Will Never Give You

Have you read every self help book, tried every strategy, and you are still carrying the same thing you have been carrying for years? Have you wondered if the trauma, the addiction, the generational patterns that run through your family are just too deep for even God to reach? Have you been praying but not seeing anything change and quietly starting to wonder if it is ever going to? Friend. The tools you have been handed were never built for what you are carrying. Self help can name your pain. Only God can actually heal it. Today we go deep into 2 Chronicles 20, Psalm 51, and 1 Samuel 15 and unpack what the Bible actually says about the battles you did not choose, the ones you walked into yourself, and how God moves in both. We talk about what it actually takes to break a generational cycle, why accountability and grace are not opposites, and the real practical tools for rewiring a heart and a brain that have been through something hard. This is not a quick fix. This is the truth. And the truth is the only thing that actually sets you free.   "The battle is not yours but God's." 2 Chronicles 20:15 Stay covered, stay loud, and never stop letting God rewrite your story.

Why Your Hardest Season Is Not a Sign You Are Failing (What the Bible Says About Restoration and Redemption)

Are you in a season right now where no matter how hard you try you cannot seem to catch up? Are you carrying the weight of mistakes you made that you cannot undo? Have you been wondering if the years you wasted or the things you lost are just gone forever? I have been there. In the middle of it I opened my Bible and God showed me something that changed everything about how I understood hard seasons. Today we are going deep into the Word together. Not just a quick verse and a nice thought. We are doing a real Bible study into what God actually says about restoration, redemption, and the seasons that feel too far gone to recover from. We are going to sit in Psalm 23, Joel 2:25, and Psalm 126 and unpack what the original Hebrew actually means because there is so much more there than the English translation shows us. This episode is for anyone in a hard season. You do not have to be a homesteader. You do not have to have it together. You just have to show up. The locust years are not wasted. The weeping farmer still brings in the harvest. And God is not finished with your story yet. "Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy." Psalm 126:5

How to Butcher Chickens at Home (Even If You Think You Could NEVER Do It)

Are you curious about raising meat birds but convinced that butcher day is where your homesteading journey stops? Have you been telling yourself you are just not built for that part of the process? Friend, I said every single one of those things. I used to stand at the fence watching Ryan do the whole thing while I gripped that fence post and swore I would never lay a hand on a single bird. I now do ninety percent of our processing on my own. In this episode I am walking you through the real story of how that happened, the exact equipment you need before processing day, a step by step breakdown of the full process in plain practical language, the emotional side nobody talks about, and what I would tell the version of me standing at that fence. Everything we personally use on processing day is linked on my Amazon storefront. You can do this. Let me show you how.
