Surrendering In Motherhood

This week, we continue our conversation from last week with taking it a step further from being still in the "I don't know" seasons of life -- and that's making decisions. We have to be so focused on Christ that we know when to pause and when to make a decision. Olivia & Karlie talk about both of them struggling with this due to fear -- which has kept both of them stuck on "start" at times. We hope y...

This week, we continue our conversation from last week as we unpack just how crucial it is to trust God with our "I don't know." Truthfully -- that might even be the whole point of having faith. The Lord is the author of peace. We can trust him no matter what. Striving to do this as a spiritual discipline can help change everything about how we go about this life.

This week, we talking about fixing our focus on God -- no matter what life's circumstances look like. Taking inventory of what has our focus, and ultimately our hearts, is the only way that we can make sure we're following the path that God has for us. Will we ever do this perfectly? Absolutely not. Will we ever know all the answers what what our next steps are in life? Absolutely not. The only thing we can do is fix our fo...

This week, we open up about the state of female relationships and how we all need to hold each other to a higher standard of "relating" to one another. We need each other in a real way -- to be honest, to uplift, to enourage, and to believe the best about each other. We have to push back against what's "normal" and stop participating in the low hanging fruit that is complaining mommy culture.

This week, we talk about what the Lord has shown us through helping cultivate healthy relationships in our lives. Relationships are a foundational part of what we do here on this Earth. We have to reject what the world says about how we are supposed to relate to one another and fix our minds on what God says about it. This is a daily surrender. It's messy. It's real. It's worth it.

We'd love to hear from you! ...

This week, we continue the "information overload" conversation with an honest conversation about how this truly is impacting our society, multi-generationally. What are we modeling for our kids? How are we loving and honoring those who have gone before us? Is bitterness and un-forgiveness impacting your legacy?

We hope this conversation meets you where you are and encourages you.

This week, we talk about something that every mother faces, but not many talk about in a real way --- not being perfect. That statement seems obvious, but our culture has made it to where mothers feel like they can't be honest or that everything is a joke. We talk about rejecting passive motherhood and how harmful "relatable" content consuming can be. We hope you enjoy this conversation!

This week, we wanted to take an entire episode to just encourage every mother listening. As always, we hope every podcast we record is encouraging, but also understand that the depth of topics we discuss can feel overwhelming. We wanted to take the time to just speak God's truth over each and every one listening and pray that it meets you wherever you are on your journey.

This week, we continue talking about being intentional with stewarding our legacy well. We talk about all of the one-size-fits-all systems of this world and how they impact our children. We talk about how our actions and words need to match up and how confusing it is when they don't. We hope this conversation is encouraging and empowers you to be who God called you to be as a mother.

This week, we continue our legacy series of conversations with a talk about taking inventory of our time. Time is so precious. Time is currency. In fact, it's the only currency that we can't get back once it's gone. In this episode, we share our hearts about being the "timekeepers" of our lives and our legacies. God is the author of our time here AND He calls us to be a good steward of the days He's given ...
