The Soapbox

Brittany is a mom of 6 precious children still under her roof! She spends her days homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, and encouraging others walking through their own pain as she shares her story of God’s faithfulness. She has walked through profound seasons of grief—becoming a young widow, raising three young boys as a single mom, remarriage, and blending a family deeply affected by trauma. As you hear her share, you will be splashed with contagious hope as she declares the faithfulness of God. She is committed to run the race in front of her and encourages us to run ours! It's clear that her eyes are fixed on Jesus and I am confident it will encourage you to do the same, whatever situation you are currently in. The Brooker Family has taken all they have experienced in grief and minister to and support widowers through their ministry, Refuge Widowers.

You can learn watch and learn more about Brittany's story here and follow her on Instagram here. To learn more about Refuge Widowers by visiting their website: www.refugewidowers.com or their instagram.

Melany Wolfe has been married to Brian for 25 years, has 6 children, 2 granddaughters, and is the director of Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach. She shares the hard and beautiful of involving her kids in the ministry she is specifically called to. She talks adoption, unplanned pregnancy, and inclusivity. Her family story makes me think about Psalm 37:26 “All day long he shows compassion and lends to others, and his children are blessed.”

Laina Graf, mom of 5 and Honey to almost 9 grandchildren, joins us to share the importance of processing hard and playing hard through all the years of mothering. She has been in ministry for decades, both internationally and in her own backyard in California (literally). She is a culinary wonder, but mostly an expert in loving people. She heard a mentor say that healthy families do lots of things, but they all do two things well… process hard and play hard. This transformed the way she mothered and still does. Listen to her connect these dots with all different ages and stages.
