S2E8 | Rest For the Weary: Trusting God to Provide | A Sabbath Practice

This month, we’re exploring the spiritual practice of Sabbath through the lens of motherhood. In a culture that constantly pushes us toward productivity, hurry, and exhaustion, Sabbath invites us into something different: trust, delight, rest, and presence with God. Together, we’ll talk about why it’s so hard to slow down, what Sabbath reveals about our hearts, and how this practice can reshape the way we approach motherhood, family, and even our relationship with ourselves. Whether you feel burned out, spiritually dry, or simply exhausted from carrying the weight of everything, this episode is an invitation to slow down and remember: before you ever accomplished anything for God, you were already loved by Him.

S2E7 | At His Feet: Connection with God in Busy Seasons of Motherhood | A Prayer Practice

Prayer can sound simple… until you’re in the middle of motherhood. In this episode, we explore what it really looks like to practice prayer in a season that is loud, busy, and often overwhelming. What if prayer isn’t about saying the right words or having long, uninterrupted time with God, but about staying connected to Him throughout your day? We’ll talk about three simple and sustainable ways to pray in this season: structured prayer, breath prayers, and surrender prayers. If you’ve ever felt like your prayer life doesn’t “measure up,” this episode is an invitation to let go of perfection and rediscover prayer as a place of connection, honesty, and dependence on God.

S2E6 | When Ministry Moves In: Faith, Family, and the Mission of Jesus (with Katrina Campbell)

In this episode, I sit down with Katrina Campbell to discuss what it looks like to live a life of steady, uncompromising faith. Katrina shares from her years of raising children who love Jesus, her deep commitment to the local church, and her work in foster care - both personally and professionally. She talks about faithfulness in the everyday, the responsibility and joy of discipling your children, and what it means to truly live on mission. Katrina’s wisdom is grounded, honest, and deeply rooted in her love for the Lord. This episode is an invitation to pursue a faith that isn’t swayed by culture, but anchored in Christ - and lived out with consistency, courage, and love.

S2E5 | Loud and Touched Out | A Silence & Solitude Practice for Motherhood

In this episode of Season 2, we’re exploring the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude - not as an escape from motherhood, but as a way of being present with God in the middle of it. For many moms, silence feels inaccessible, and solitude feels unrealistic, or even selfish. Our lives are loud and full, and the quiet can feel uncomfortable. But throughout Scripture, we see silence and solitude not as luxuries for the spiritually elite, but as formative rhythms modeled by Jesus Himself. We’ll talk about what silence and solitude actually are (and what they’re not), why silence feels so difficult in our modern world, and how this practice reveals what we carry beneath the noise. We’ll also explore what it looks like to come into God’s presence not as a role we carry but simply as a beloved child of God. My hope is not that you would strive to be still, but that you would learn to rest in the presence of a loving Father who delights in simply being with you.

S2E4 | Where Shame Ends and Grace Begins: Finding Freedom from Shame Through God’s Grace with Lin Whitlock

In this episode, I sit down with my mentor, Lin Whitlock - a woman whose life is marked by wisdom, humility, and a deep love for both people and wide open spaces. Lin shares wisdom from years of mentoring women, her love for nature and horseback riding, and how walking closely with the Lord has shaped her perspective on failure and redemption. If you’re navigating guilt, shame, or wondering how God redeems hard chapters of your story, this conversation offers hope and steady encouragement.
