How many times have you told yourself, “I'm just giving myself grace”—right after overeating or slipping into old habits? As Christian women, we know grace is one of the most beautiful gifts God has given us. But sometimes, we misplace it. Grace was never meant to excuse sin or keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles. Instead, it's meant to lift us up and empower us to walk in righteousness.In today's episode, I'm sharing encouragement and scripture to help you keep grace in its proper place—strength for the journey, not a license for gluttony. Together we'll look at what God's Word says about grace, how to recognize when we're using it as an excuse, and how to let grace lead us into freedom, wholeness, and health.What you'll learn in this episode:✨ The difference between true grace and cheap excuses✨ Why Romans 5:20 and Romans 6:1–2 remind us grace is not permission to keep sinning✨ How to invite conviction without slipping into condemnation✨ Practical ways to let grace guide your health journey toward strength and holinessScriptures mentioned:Romans 5:20Romans 6:1–2Hebrews 12:11Psalm 23:3Let's Connect:

Do you feel like no matter how many lists you make, routines you try, or books you read—you're still overwhelmed? You're not alone. As Christian working moms, the pressure to do it all can leave us exhausted, anxious, and wondering if peace is even possible. In this episode of Faith Led Working Moms, I unpack the biblical fix for overwhelm that doesn't come from hustling harder but from surrendering to God's design for rest and peace. We'll look at the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and how God met him in burnout with food, rest, and renewal before calling him forward. And we'll see how Jesus modeled a pace of life that wasn't controlled by constant demands, but by His Father's priorities.

Ever feel like throwing in the towel when God is calling you to something new? I get it, mama. This week I almost "burned it all down" after facing some criticism about my parenting choices.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 powerful Bible verses God gave me to combat the defeating thoughts that come when you want to retreat back to old patterns.

My fourteen-year-old self had gone to bed at my usual 9pm time. Two hours later, I woke up to use the bathroom. While walking undetected past my parents darkened room, I not only heard my dad whispering, but I heard him whispering my name. It was at that unforgettable moment that I learned that my parents' bedtime routine included intercession on behalf of their three children. I had been blessed with parents whose only stated hope for me was that I would grow up to love, follow, and serve Jesus Christ. As Christian parents, our hope for our children should be the same. The good news is that parents always exercise the greatest influence on the spiritual lives of their children. God has established the home as the primary arena for spiritual nurture. This influence is effectively exercised as we entrust our children to God, which includes certain responsibilities that He has entrusted to us. Listen in all this week as we talk about how to entrust our children to God.

As Christian parents, we are called to raise our kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We must be doing what we can to lead them into an adulthood that is spiritually, emotionally, relationally, intellectually, AND physically healthy. Their physical health depends greatly on how we teach them to steward their God-given bodies during their childhood and teenage years. One aspect of this that's related to today's youth culture regards caffeine intake. Are you aware, for example, that your local quickmart drink coolers are filled with aggressively marketed caffeine-infused energy drinks that appeal to teens? And, are you aware that ER visits due to eating or drinking too much caffeine have doubled among middle school kids, and almost doubled for our high schoolers between 2017 and 2023? Parents, we need to educate our kids on God-honoring matters of health and on the dangers of caffeine intake, along with setting borders and boundaries for their consumption.

Finding Joy When Your Kids Walk Away: Trusting Jesus Over Outcomes Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging journeys we can experience. As Christian parents, we often dream of raising children who follow Jesus, make wise choices, and walk closely with God. But what happens when our children choose a different path? How do we find hope and joy when our kids seem far from the faith we love? In this episode of The Bridge Between Us Podcast, we tackle these difficult questions head-on with guest Mary DeMuth, author of Love, Pray, Listen. Together, we explore how parents can trust Jesus in seasons of uncertainty and heartbreak. When Outcomes Become Idols It's natural to want the best for our kids. But sometimes, even good desires can turn into idols. When we say, “I'll be okay if my kids do exactly what I want,” we're putting our hope in outcomes, not in Jesus. As Mary DeMuth shares, this is a trap many parents fall into. We want control—but the truth is, we don't have it. God reminds us that our role is to love, guide, and pray, but ultimately, our children have free will. Finding Joy in Heartbreak One powerful theme from the conversation is the idea of finding joy even when life doesn't look like we planned. How do you celebrate the goodness of God when your heart is breaking? The answer is in understanding that joy is not based on circumstances—it's rooted in Jesus. Mary DeMuth reminds us that even God, the perfect Father, has children who rebelled. Our pain is something He understands deeply, and that connection can become a source of unexpected joy. Practical Tools for Grieving Parents Grief is real, and it's okay to lament. In this episode, you will be encouraged to use the biblical model of lament—pouring out your heart to God, describing your pain, and choosing to praise Him anyway. Writing your prayers, journaling your emotions, and finding a safe person to share with can help release the heavy burden of parenting heartbreak. Another powerful takeaway is learning to let go of specific outcomes in your prayers. Instead of telling God exactly how to move, Mary DeMuth suggests praying, “Surprise me with how You reach my child.” This shift opens the door to trust and helps parents see God's creative work in ways they might have missed. Love That Transforms We close the conversation by unpacking 1 Corinthians 13—often quoted at weddings but originally written to a broken church. How can parents apply “love is patient, love is kind” to their parenting, especially with a child who's wandering? Mary offers insights on showing grace, patience, and kindness to our kids, and even to ourselves, on this journey. Key Takeaways Release control: God loves your child more than you do. Joy comes from Jesus, not perfect circumstances. Lament is a healthy, biblical response to grief. Trust God's timing and methods, even when they surprise you. Love your child and yourself with grace and patience. This episode is for every parent longing for hope in a hard season. Whether your child is questioning faith, making different choices, or simply testing boundaries, remember this: you are not alone, and Jesus is walking with you every step of the way.

Remember this famous quote?“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,” President John F. Kennedy during his inaugural address in 1961.As Christian men trying to raise godly boys, our mantra should be, “Ask not what God can do for me; ask what I can do for God.”It's natural for us to think about ourselves first and not what we can do for God and what we can give back to him, including our time, talents, and treasure.As the Bible says, you must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a cheerful giver.”For more information about a Proven Process that is helping boys grow into godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

As Christian moms, we feel the weight of sending our kids into the world—whether that's homeschooling, private school, Christian school, or public school. And with a new school year beginning, our mama hearts can easily slip into fear about what they might face: bullying, harmful ideologies, peer pressure, or simply the unknown. But here's the truth: we don't parent in fear—we parent in faith. We have authority through Jesus, and God has promised us His angel armies encamped around our children. He is their first and ultimate Protector. In this episode of the Revival Mom Podcast, I share a raw story from my own motherhood journey that reminded me how deeply I long to keep my kids safe. Then, we dig into powerful scripture-based prayers that you can declare over your children as they start the school year. We talk about: Why revival in the home begins with moms standing on God's truth. How to cover your children in prayer no matter what type of school they're in. Scriptural promises of angelic protection (Psalm 34:7, Psalm 91:11, 2 Kings 6:16-17, and more). How to guard their minds, hearts, friendships, identity, and hunger for God. The difference between protecting them physically and spiritually. You'll walk away equipped to pray bold, faith-filled prayers over your children—and to trust God as their ultimate Defender. This isn't about fear. This is about raising up a generation of kingdom warriors who walk in victory because their moms chose to stand on God's promises.  So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and join me as we step into this school year with courage, faith, and the assurance that those who are with us are greater than those who are against us.

"Union with Christ" is essentially "Christ in you" and "you in Christ." But it involves not only a union with Christ but a union with one another, with the body of Christ, fleshed out in the core of a Christian assembly. Louis Berkoff gives a good definition of union with Christ: it is the "intimate, vital, and spiritual connection between Christ and believers." M. Pete Johnson says "to be saved is to be united to the Savior." God saves us not just as individuals in union with himself but also to join us to his people. The Christian life cannot be lived in isolation from other believers. Rom. 12:5 says "we are members one of another." It is only in the local church that we can rub shoulders with fellow Christians and share our mutual life together. In Christ we are new men and women, but we are joined to other new men and women in the local assembly. We have all been washed of all our various sins by Jesus' blood. We have all been awakened from spiritual death to spiritual life by the Holy Spirit and brought into the same quality of fellowship with God and his people that the triune God has experienced in himself in all eternity. As Christian believers we are in union with Christ and the "new we" - the people of God, the body of Christ.

Send us a text by clicking this link!When a Catholic influencer like Voice of Reason falls from grace, what's the appropriate response from the faithful community? Anthony and Christian Wagner dive deep into the recent apology video from Alex Jurado (Voice of Reason) following his scandal, examining both the genuine moments of contrition and the troubling implications about his future plans.The hosts untangle the complex web of accountability, forgiveness, and prudence that these situations demand. They highlight a concerning pattern in many reactions – the tendency to equate forgiveness with immediate restoration to public ministry. This conversation isn't about condemning Alex but about honestly assessing whether someone who used their Catholic platform to manipulate women should return to a position of influence after just a month of reflection.Christian brings up the powerful parallel of Michael Voris, who rejected advice to step away from the camera after his own scandal, only to eventually relapse and lose everything. This cautionary tale demonstrates why true charity sometimes requires maintaining firm boundaries rather than enabling potentially harmful patterns. As Christian pointedly notes, "Supporting your friend means dragging them to heaven, not cheering them on as they sprint towards hell."The most enlightening moments come when the hosts discuss alternative paths forward – ways Alex could contribute to the Church without returning to the spotlight. Perhaps working behind the scenes, using his talents for writing or production, or even eventually helping others with similar struggles could provide meaningful service without the dangers of public ministry.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the balance the hosts strike between mercy and justice, between compassion for a fallen brother and protection of the vulnerable. If you've ever struggled with how Catholics should respond to scandals within our own ranks, this thoughtful discussion offers a framework that honors both our call to forgiveness and our responsibility to uphold truth.Support the show********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful message the Lord has been speaking to me about crossing the threshold into a new season of revival in our homes. As Christian moms and wives, we often carry so much—fear, comparison, control, or even old wounds that weigh us down. But God is saying it's time to let go, to surrender, and to step into the freedom, peace, and joy He has waiting for us. I'll walk you through part of a training I did inside Revival Mom Academy where we asked God five key questions to identify what He wants us to leave behind and what He's inviting us into. This is the kind of work that shifts atmospheres in our homes, brings breakthrough in marriage, and sets the stage for raising kids who truly know and love Jesus. Inside the episode, you'll hear: What it means to be at a spiritual threshold and how God is calling us to cross over. The specific questions to ask God so you can release what no longer belongs to you in this new season. A powerful testimony from one of my clients who was delivered from a lie she carried since childhood. How surrendering opens the door to revival in your home, healing in your body, and fresh spiritual authority. This is for you if you've been feeling stuck, weary, or weighed down. Mama, God has carved out a space specifically for you. You don't need to compete or compare—you just need to surrender and follow Him into this next season.

What if your investments could do more than grow your wealth? What if they could also fight injustice, uplift your neighbor, and even bring joy to the world? Joy probably isn't the first word that comes to mind when you think about investing, but maybe it should be. Robin John joins us today to share how investing can be more than financial—it can be deeply spiritual.Robin John is the CEO at Eventide Asset Management, LLC. Views expressed in this podcast are intended for information purposes and do not constitute investment advice. Eventide does not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice. Eventide's values-based approach to investing may not produce desired results and could result in underperformance compared with other investments. There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.A Life-Changing Encounter in IndiaRobin was just 23 years old when his employer sent him to Pune, India, to support an outsourcing initiative. Although born in India, he had moved to the U.S. at the age of eight and was returning for the first time as a young professional.While staying in a guesthouse, he noticed two young men—Amal and Kamal—who took care of him daily, preparing meals and ironing his clothes. One evening, Robin asked where they slept and was shocked to learn they were sleeping on the hard floor of a hot, cramped pantry.“I had a beautiful air-conditioned room with extra space,” Robin recalled. “But they had no bed, no pillow, no blanket. And I looked just like them.”When he raised his concerns, he was told the guesthouse workers were not his company's responsibility. That response, though typical in business, left Robin deeply unsettled. It pushed him into prayer, fasting, and a season of searching. He began to ask: “Is business just about profit? Or could it be something more?”From Disillusionment to a Renewed MindThrough time in Romans 12—“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”—Robin experienced a major shift in perspective. He began to see that work, business, and investing could all be expressions of love for neighbor and tools for redemptive impact.That shift eventually led him, alongside his friend Dr. Finny Kuruvilla, to launch Eventide Asset Management—an investment firm with a bold mission: to invest in companies that make the world rejoice.What Makes a Company Worth Investing In?Eventide's approach centers on one key question: Is this company doing good?They look for companies whose products are truly good and whose practices serve others well—employees, customers, supply chains, communities, even the environment. Investing is a form of ownership, and when we invest, we are rooting for that company's success.But Eventide doesn't just embrace the good—it also avoids the harmful. In the book, Robin likens harmful companies to dragons that lurk outside the village in ancient stories, threatening human flourishing.Companies profiting from gambling, addiction, or exploitation—like sports betting platforms—may look appealing on a spreadsheet, but Robin challenges us to consider their deeper impact. As Christian investors, we must ask: What are we promoting in the world? Are we fighting the dragons, or feeding them?Cultivating Goodness, Like a GardenFrom the very beginning in Genesis 1, we see that we are called to cultivate, to build, to bring about flourishing. Business and investing can be part of that calling.From companies developing cancer treatments to those honoring their truck drivers by ensuring they can sleep at home with their families, these are the stories of modern cultivation, and they're the kinds of businesses Eventide champions.A Framework for Faith-Driven InvestingEventide's “Business 360” framework reflects biblical values and centers on love for neighbor. It seeks to:Avoid companies that cause harm.Embrace companies that promote human flourishing.Engage with companies to encourage positive change.Investors can explore two free tools at GoodInvestor.com:Portfolio Screening Tool – See how your current investments align with biblical values.Advisor Connection Tool – Get connected with a financial advisor who practices faith-aligned investing.Your Investments Can Honor GodRobin's hope for every reader of his new book, The Good Investor, is that they will walk away inspired, believing their investments can change the world and honor God in the process.You can purchase The Good Investor wherever books are sold.

There are three pairs of Unmercenary Physicians named Cosmas and Damian. The two commemorated today were brothers from Rome. Though they inherited great wealth, they gave most of it to the poor and needy, only setting aside enough for themselves to devote their lives to the service of Christ. As Christian physicians, they freely performed their healing services for men and for beasts, asking the healed only to believe in Christ in thanks for their healing. They ended their lives in martyrdom. According to the Prologue, they were summoned before the Emperor Galerius, who interrogated them and commanded them to worship the gods. The brothers refused to do so, but to show the truth of the Christian faith, they healed the Emperor of a grave infirmity. At this he proclaimed the truth of Christianity and released them. But a doctor and a former teacher who envied their reputation lured them into the countryside on the pretext of collecting herbs, then killed them.

Psalm 127:4 "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth." Every Christian is called to spiritual warfare, using two scriptural weapons: the sword (the Word of God) and the arrow (children, Psalm 127:4). Simeon and I discuss how arrows—our children—must be prepared, aimed, and fired to reach their potential. As Christian parents, we prepare and aim our children in their youth, then release them to fight the good fight of faith.   Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 6:6-9 Psalm 127:4-5 Proverbs 22:6 Matthew 4:1-11 Ephesians 6:12, 17   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

As Christian leaders, we often launch plans, initiatives, or businesses and then pray for God's blessing. But what if we're asking the wrong question? In this episode, we explore a powerful lesson from Joshua's encounter before the Battle of Jericho—a moment that reshaped his leadership posture and should reshape ours too. When Joshua asks a mysterious warrior, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” the answer is startling: “No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.” (Joshua 5:14) This divine encounter reveals a crucial leadership truth: God isn't here to take sides. He's here to take charge. In today's episode, we break down five key principles for Christian business leaders drawn from this story, including: The danger of assuming God is on our side How to discern whether your plans are aligned with His will What surrendered leadership actually looks like in the workplace Why obedience is more important than control How to pivot when your plans don't match God's direction You'll be challenged to ask a better question—not “Is God with me?” but “Am I with God?” Through practical action steps and reflection questions, this episode will help you pause, listen, and realign your leadership with the One who's truly in command.

So you've got a big business idea, but you can't shake the question, "Is this really from God, or is it just me?" As Christian entrepreneurs, it can be hard to tell the difference between Holy Spirit prompting and our own ambition. In today's episode, I'm sharing how to discern whether your idea is truly God-breathed. Let's dive into lessons I've learned about recognizing the difference between Spirit-led vision and self-led plans. I've chased ideas that weren't from Him, and I've also experienced what happens when you walk in His will. If you're seeking clarity and peace that you're walking in God's plans for your business, this conversation will help you tune into His voice and learn to move forward in faith.

Fifty years ago there was little or no knowledge among teenagers about eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. In today's image-obsessed and social-media saturated world, the great majority of our kids not only stress over their appearance, but many are struggling with body dysmorphia, which is defined as a mental health condition in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. New data from a study of thirty-nine-thousand adolescents ages fourteen to eighteen reports that the dominant factor raising the risk of self-harm, including suicide, is one's perception regarding their weight. Our kids are being hammered by a constant diet of marketing images and social media posts which leave them feeling inadequate and less than. As Christian parents, we must affirm their standing as loved divine-image bearers, emphasizing the fact that God looks on the inside, not the outside. Our identity is not to be found in appearance.

Holy Week is more than a season on the calendar—it's a proclamation of our faith. As Christian families, the way we remember, reflect, and celebrate the events leading to Jesus' resurrection shapes our understanding of the Gospel and deepens our walk with Him.  In this special Easter Week episode, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie explore the significance of Holy Week traditions and how they serve as a bold declaration of faith. From Good Friday reflections to Easter morning celebrations, they discuss ways to anchor family traditions in the truth of the resurrection. Drawing from Scripture, they highlight how our girls—just like the women at the empty tomb—are called to be proclaimers of the Good News, courageously sharing Christ's victory over sin and death.  Through Biblical encouragement, practical ideas, and insights from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director, Patti Garibay, this conversation will inspire you to embrace Holy Week as an opportunity to strengthen your family's faith. Whether your celebrations include a Passover meal, sunrise worship, or simple moments of gratitude, let this season be a testament to the hope we have in Jesus.  Tune in and be encouraged to make this Holy Week a time of deep remembrance, joyful celebration, and bold proclamation of Christ's love and redemption.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com
