Thankful Homemaker: A Christian Homemaking Podcast

In this episode, I’m joined by eleven dear friends who share what their time in God’s Word looks like in their current season of life. You’ll hear from women in different stages—homeschooling moms, empty nesters, full-time workers, caregivers, young adults—each finding simple, real-life ways to stay in the Word.

Their routines may look different, but their hearts are the same: to draw near to Christ. My ...

Homemaking is so much more than just cooking and cleaning—it’s about creating the atmosphere of our homes. In today’s shorter devotional episode, I’m sharing a refreshed blog post that reminds us of the life-giving role the Lord has entrusted to us as Christian women.

True peace in our homes doesn’t come from having everything just right or crossing off our to-do list. It comes from Christ reigning in ou...

Time is a gift from the Lord—but if you’re anything like me, you’ve had those days where it feels like it just slipped away.

You’ll find encouragement to live wisely, practical tips to stay focused, and a gentle reminder that we...

Because Jesus lives, every part of our lives is changed—not just our future but our everyday moments. His resurrection gives us hope when we’re weary, strength when we feel weak, and purpose in the unseen work of daily life. The empty tomb isn’t just something to celebrate once a year—it’s the foundation we build our lives on. How does the resurrection shape the way we trust God, love others, and walk through trials? This episode w...

What does it mean to walk in wisdom with eternity in view?

So much of life is fleeting, but God calls us to set our hearts on what will last forever (Colossians 3:1-2). In this final episode of the Walking in Wisdom series, we’re stepping back to see the bigger picture—how wisdom not only guides our daily decisions but prepares us for eternity.

✅ Are we investing in what truly lasts—knowing Christ, growing in holiness, and pointing...

It's so easy to assume the worst about others—to misread a friend’s words, question someone’s motives, or let suspicion take root in our hearts. But 1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us that love “believes all things” and “hopes all things.” What does that look like in daily life? It’s not about ignoring wisdom or discernment, but about extending grace, choosing trust over doubt, and reflecting the love of Christ in how we think about and...

I’m thrilled to share a special episode with you. I had the joy of sitting down with my dear friends Tony and Bre Wood—two people who have deeply encouraged me and so many others through their ministry and their new book, The Little Red Book of Marriage and Family: 12 Principles for Relational Thriving. Tony and Bre bring warmth, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement to every conversation, and this one is no exception.
