Ep. 124: Walking Through Grief with Kids (a Chat with Wit)
Join us as we tackle the tricky topic of grief and children. A few weeks ago, a reader whose husband had died under tragic circumstances asked for resources on how to navigate grief with her four children.So I invited my pastor Wit (Rick Witmer) on to share from the perspective of a biblical counselor. In this episode, he introduces the idea of “trellissing” grief in a way that helps our kids make sense of it biblically. We also chat about more practical tools (like using the acronym GRIEFS) to guide our interactions with our kids as they are mourning. The biblical principles we discuss in this episode are helpful for any parent navigating grief with their children, but they also apply to numerous other aspects of parenting. So even if you’re not dealing with this exact topic, I encourage you to listen in.

Whether you have personal experience with a child asking questions about gender or are nervous about how to address issues that might arise from exposure to media or peers, this episode is for you!Dr. Jeff Meyers breaks down the importance of emphasizing God’s good design for gender and why it matters that male and female remain distinct. We also dive into the science behind gender as well as the devastating consequences of going against God’s plan for boys and girls. Be confident that, with Christ’s help, you can raise gender-confident kids who know their worth and their identity are rooted in who God says they are, not what the world says.

Ep. 122: The Lies of Progressive Christianity and the Next Generation (with Alisa Childers)
My friend, Alisa Childers, is back on the podcast to talk about how we can help the next generation—middle schoolers through young adults—to spot and refute the lies of progressive Christianity. We talk about how politics and culture are always downstream from theology and ways we can prepare ourselves and our children to stand on historical Christianity in the face of an onslaught of secular ideologies.

Ep. 120: Share the Arrows (Highlights and Takeaways)
This week’s episode is all about Share the Arrows—a conservative Christian women’s event in Dallas, Tx. I’ve had the honor of being invited to speak and represent the motherhood perspective from a biblical standpoint for 2024 (the year of its inception) and 2025. And both times were utterly surreal experiences in sheer scope of number of attendees (4,000 the first year and 6,700 the next) and the work involved to prep/run our booth Paint and Prose booth to serve a never-ending stream of customers and moms who stopped by to say hi.I’m sharing my thoughts and reactions to the event (spoiler: You should definitely come to the next one!) and why this is one women’s conference I’ll gladly say yes to.
