Miracle Illness: How God is Using a Sore Throat to Heal My Anger Problem
I have begged God for ten years to help me not be such an angry mom—to help me not yell and scream at my kids. Due to a recent illness He had begun to do just that and I am utterly amazed. This podcast is about slowing down and saying LESS to our kids instead of more. About how only God’s power can turn a sore throat into a character overhaul. How powerlessness is actually our strength in Him. How He, as David said, can show us how to do the impossible and “bend a bow of bronze” (Psalm 18).…………………………………Links!-My newsletter/blog + the sanitarium +-book on anger that I talk about in the episode -my newly released motherhood book -bringing up bebe book

Missie’s Testimony: God is Faithful No Matter What!
In 2012, Missie’s husband of 11 years left her for a family friend. Her kids were 7, 5 and 1. Listen as she talks about her journey of walking with God through a terrible circumstance and all the ways He has remained strong and faithful to her despite everything that has come her way.
Missie brings some serious seasoned mom vibes to this conversation and reminds us that it’s not about us being perfect parents—it’s about God’s perfect love working in and through all we go through as mothers.

How to Kill Mom Guilt
…and a spicy little *bonus chat* about spiritual warfare.
Buckle up, Christian mums, because we’re about to talk about the best and only defense against the raging mom-guilt monster: the blood of Jesus.
And, of course, because I can’t just sit still and do the easy, acceptable thing, I’m throwing in a complimentary talk about the mildly controversial subject of spiritual warfare. Opinions differ in the Christian world about spiritual warfare, yet despite the different ways of looking at it, the Bible is clear that God has given us the mandate and the tools to fight the things that are against us.
And fight we should, because the second-best way to rid ourselves of mom guilt is to stop doing the things that make us feel guilt and shame in the first place, and this is where the spiritual war work comes in.
Here is a link to some of the concepts I mention in this episode and the verse references to back them up:
