Heartfelt Obedience with Emelie Pepito
Heartfelt obedience to God and those in authority over us, is one of the powerful sanctifiers of a believer and joyful obedience is a powerful outcome of our love for Christ. (John 14:15). But it is scary; the connotation is negative, and many of us are scarred by it, or are so protective of our happiness, dreams, ideal world that obedience at the cost of any of these is an untenable prospect. Even though some broken people have ruined "obedience", this does not give us the right to reject the practice or virtue of obedience in our personal lives.
Where do we go from here though, how do we practice obedience? How do we train children in obedience while being attuned and tender parents? More importantly, how do we heal our hearts around obedience?
Episode 132 with Emelie Pepito is full of stories from the arc of obedience in the Pepito family, the comfort of God as we grow in obedience, and being the leader you want to have.

The Spiritual Practice of Motherhood with Whitney Newby
Whitney Newby is the creator of the Brighter Day Press, a lovely human being, and a beautiful artist. It is a delight to have her on the podcast for episode 131. In this episode, we're talking about embracing motherhood as a spiritual practice.
Motherhood is not a struggle to get through, but a process wherein we experience the sufficiency of Christ in our weakness and become more like Him as we are sustained by Him amidst the dirty diapers, sleepless nights, teenage woes, and homeschooling drama. Whitney brings so much practical and gentle advice on how to take care of ourselves, carve out time with Jesus, and enjoy the wonder of motheirng.
Enjoy!

Intimacy with God with John Eldredge
We have an incredible guest for episode 130, author John Eldredge. John wrote Wild at Heart which gave Jennifer the courage to follow her husband to Mexico. His Pause App has been a huge part of teaching us to slow down, listen and learn to commune with Jesus in the deep intimacy that we are created to live in. Over the years of homeschooling, growing as individuals, and a family, we have been so blessed by John's work.
We hope that this episode blesses you, gives you the courage to remove distractions from your life so you can press into the quiet place and encounter Christ's healing and his comfort. We pray that you are inspired to seek greater rest, and enjoy more intimacy, and build the habits to make Christ your first port of call in the daily stress, anxiety and fear that so often overwhelms us as mom's in the grind and travails of daily life.
