My teen said, "Hey, Momma, it's National Podcast Day.  You should record one with me."  We sat down and winged it, and what followed was some suprisingly profound advice, especially towards the end.  I know she is is smart with an incredible heart, yet I was still amazed by the insights that she shared.  Take a listen, then I encourage you to do a similar unplanned chat with your children.

It's a topic that comes up fairly often across several of my private friend groups:  Church hurt.  It seems like one of those topics many have experienced but few are willing to speak about publicly.  Let's acknowledge the wounds while keeping our faith and moving forward.

Have you ever seen water roll right off of a duck's back?  The duck doesn't have to think about that - it just happens.  It may sound strange, but this philosophy can help your parenting and homeschooling life as well.

Feminism can be a hot button term that stirs up strong feelings in people.  What if we embraced that women don't have to meet another person's specific definition.  With a bonus humorous story thrown in because I love to laugh.

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
