Podcast appearances and mentions of christian moms

Have you ever felt prompted to do something and immediately wondered… Is this God speaking? Or is this just my anxiety? As a working Christian mom balancing career, family, responsibility, and faith, it can feel incredibly difficult to tell the difference between the voice of the Holy Spirit and your own overthinking. You want to obey God. You don't want to miss Him. But anxiety can sound urgent, spiritual, and convincing. In this episode, we talk about how to discern whether what you're hearing is truly God's voice — or anxious thoughts fueled by pressure, exhaustion, or fear. If you struggle with: Overthinking decisions Feeling pressure to “get it right” Anxiety that sounds spiritual Decision fatigue as a Christian mom Fear of missing God's will This conversation will bring clarity and peace. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The key differences between God's voice and anxiety Why anxiety feels urgent — and God rarely does The difference between conviction and condemnation How to filter your thoughts through Scripture A simple 3-question discernment grid you can use in real time Why exhaustion makes spiritual clarity harder How to grow confident in hearing God without fear For the Working Christian Mom Who Feels Overwhelmed Discernment isn't about being perfect. It's about becoming familiar with God's character. When you learn to distinguish peace from panic, you move from reactive living to faith-led decisions. And that changes everything. If this episode encouraged you, share it with another Christian mom who wrestles with anxiety and wants to grow in hearing God's voice with clarity and confidence. You don't need more noise. You need alignment.  

From the pressure to “get it right” to the constant second-guessing, so many of us carry quiet questions in motherhood: Am I doing enough? Am I messing this up? Am I a good mom? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Sara and Marissa sit down with author and podcast host Hallie Dye to talk honestly about the weight moms carry—and the freedom found in surrendering that weight to the One who never fails. Hallie shares the heart behind her first book, You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails, and unpacks what it really means to be “a good mom” from a biblical perspective. Together, they discuss why our limitations are by design, how surrender reshapes the way we approach our roles, and how to navigate the tension between responsibility and trust in God. Whether you're in the thick of diapers and sleepless nights or navigating new challenges with older kids, this conversation is a gentle reminder: your worth was never meant to be measured by your performance. You are still a good mom. -- Meet our guest: Hallie Dye Book: You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails  Podcast: The Saltworks -- Question of the Week: What is something you enjoy and want me to keep doing as your mom/dad? -- Hosts: Sara Jones & Marissa Ray Guest: Hallie Dye Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!

Where do our kids learn what they're worth – and how do we guide them toward the truth that their value comes from God, not achievements or approval? Today, Amy and Marissa are joined by returning guest Margaret Sharpe to talk about how the question of worth shows up at every stage of childhood, from early elementary through high school. Together, they unpack the lies that kids often believe about themselves, how those lies evolve as kids grow, and how Scripture speaks directly to the questions our kids are asking – even when they can't find the words for them. You'll also get a sneak peek into WinShape Camps' upcoming theme for summer 2026, ASCEND: Encounters with the Holy God, and walk away with gospel-centered truths to help your kids (and yourself) rest in the worth God has already given.--WinShape Camps 2026 Theme Preview: Ascend--Question of the Week: What do you think that God thinks about you?--Hosts: Amy Lowe & Marissa RayGuest: Margaret SharpeProducers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun--Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!Instagram: @WinShapeCampsTikTok: @WinShapeCampsFacebook: @WinShapeCamps Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When good things become too much, it's often not because we're doing the wrong things — but because we're doing too many of the right ones. In this re-aired episode of the Organized On Purpose Podcast, we're talking about the quiet burnout that happens when we say yes out of guilt, obligation, or fear of disappointing others, rather than out of discernment. Many women who love to serve find themselves with schedules filled with meaningful commitments — meetings, projects, ministries, and responsibilities that once felt like blessings. Over time, those good things can begin to drain us and crowd out the rest, margin, and clarity we need to thrive in this season. In this episode, I gently walk you through three questions for faithful discernment to help you pause before your next yes and ask: Is this life-giving or depleting? Am I responding out of guilt or obedience? Does this align with what God is asking of me right now? We talk about: The hidden cost of always saying yes Why guilt is not a healthy guide The difference between serving faithfully and overgiving How to say no without shame Creating rhythms that support what God is calling you to in this season This episode is for women who want to live faithfully, serve generously, and still have space to breathe — without burning out.

→ Prayer CalendarBringing a baby home is one of life's most sacred transitions, and for young Christian mothers, it's a season that comes with both tender anticipation and anxious questions. From installing car seats to preparing your heart for sleepless nights, the arrival of a new child mirrors the beauty of Advent: the waiting, the wondering, and the miraculous arrival of life and hope.In this episode, we explore how to practically prepare for the birth of a baby while also preparing spiritually for the birth of Christ. With a blend of light-hearted stories, honest reflections, and deep biblical encouragement, we guide young mothers through everything from nesting and deep cleaning to pondering the promises of God, offering peace for your mind and rest for your soul in the middle of new beginnings.Episode Highlights[00:00] The First Christmas[10:00] Mary's Response[15:00] Advent Pillars[19:00] Practical ways to prepare your homePlease send us your questions if you'd like to have them discussed on the podcast: themindofachildpodcast@gmail.com The Mind of a Child is an early child development podcast that exists to encourage and equip parents to raise their kids to love God and love others.

If you've ever felt pressure to be the “perfect Christian mom,” today's episode will breathe relief into your soul. We're breaking down the unrealistic expectations working Christian moms carry — the pressure to be calm, organized, patient, soft-spoken, always put together, and never overwhelmed — and replacing them with the truth of what God actually says about motherhood, identity, and faithfulness. In this episode, we look at the real biblical picture of womanhood — not perfection, but valor, strength, resilience, and dependence on God. You'll learn how the Hebrew word ezer reveals God's true design for women, and why the moms in Scripture looked a whole lot more like you: stretched, brave, imperfect, and deeply loved. Whether you're navigating work, motherhood, overwhelm, or spiritual exhaustion, this conversation will help you release pressure, realign your heart, and step into the motherhood God has actually called you to — one marked by courage, not perfection. ✨ Join the Faithfully Balanced Course If you're ready to create rhythms that help you stay present, peaceful, and aligned with God in your busy season of work and motherhood, the Faithfully Balanced course gives you practical, grace-filled tools to: Establish priorities Release pressure Build boundaries Reset your heart around God's design Find details in the show notes below.

This episode dives deep into why so many women feel overwhelmed at home — not because they're unmotivated or “bad at organizing,” but because the brain responds to clutter, decisions, novelty, transitions, and loneliness in predictable ways. I am answering four listener questions, weaving in practical organizing strategies and specific scientific concepts discussed in the episode, including: Decision fatigue and temporary disorganization bias — why dumping grounds appear during remodels and life transitions The novelty effect, executive function fatigue, and habit friction — why systems stop working even when you set them up well The Zeigarnik effect and task-switching overload — how unfinished tasks drain mental energy and fuel the “I can't follow through” spiral Micro-wins and dopamine — why breaking projects into 5-15 minute tasks changes everything Freeze responses, low internal reward cues, cognitive overload, and living alone — why some women feel powerless to begin You'll also hear faith-rooted encouragement on stewardship, caring for your home as part of wellbeing, and showing up for yourself the same way you show up for others. Whether your home is “not that bad” or completely overwhelming, this episode gives you the scientific understanding — and the small, doable steps — that help you finally move forward.

Pens, old receipts, mystery cords, stretched-out scrunchies, expired spices, broken toys, duplicate kitchen tools — tiny things that create big visual and mental clutter.

After a few years, Clare and Alesia, are back and better than ever (or at least they think so). Hear where they have been, testimonies of their time off, and where this season is heading. Be blissed! Be blessed! Enjoy!

Every day, our daughters are surrounded by cultural messages that claim to be empowering, positive, or even “spiritual.” From TikTok reels to Pinterest mantras to influencer hashtags, the slogans sound harmless—“Good vibes only,” “She believed she could, so she did,” “Trust the universe.” But as Christian parents, we have to ask: what's really behind those words? Are they pointing our girls toward God's truth—or leading them into deception?  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden expose the subtle lies hidden in today's social media trends. With insight from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay, they discuss how the enemy uses the same old playbook he's used since the Garden of Eden—just packaged now in hashtags, aesthetics, and trending content. From horoscopes and crystals to “manifesting” dreams, what looks trendy and harmless can actually distort a girl's view of God when left unchecked.  Rather than responding with fear or panic, Rachael and Melissa share practical ways moms can disciple their daughters through these cultural messages. You'll hear tools to help your girl ask the right questions, test cultural claims against Scripture, and gain confidence in her identity as a child of God. The goal isn't to raise daughters who hide from culture—but to raise daughters so rooted in truth that they can spot the counterfeit before it takes root.  Scripture References:  1 John 4:1 — “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”  2 Corinthians 10:5 — “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  Ephesians 6:11 — “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.”  John 8:32 — “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  3 Key Truths to Remember:  Trendy ≠ Truth — Just because a message is popular online doesn't mean it aligns with God's Word.  Spot the Counterfeit — Teach your daughter to ask: “Where's the lie? How does this oppose God's design?”  Truth Sets Her Free — When she anchors in Scripture, she can confidently declare: “I am a child of God; the enemy has no power over me.”  At American Heritage Girls, programs like the Faith Awards and Troop life give girls exactly this kind of grounding. Whether through structured studies, Godly mentorship, or simply time spent unplugged and away from cultural noise, American Heritage Girls equips girls to recognize lies and replace them with the light of Christ. Moms, this episode will help you step into those daily discipleship conversations with confidence.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

We all know how important the church is in shaping a kid's faith — it's where foundations are built and seeds of belief take root. But let's be honest: sometimes our kids just aren't excited about going to church.

A father of two with over 14 years of experience in kids and camp ministry, Aaron shares wisdom and encouragement to help families make church a place their kids love to be.--Question of the Week: What are some of your favorite parts of going to church?--Hosts: Amy Lowe & Sara JonesGuests: Aaron CollierProducers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun--Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!Instagram: @WinShapeCampsTikTok: @WinShapeCampsFacebook: @WinShapeCamps Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If you've ever felt like life is shifting beneath your feet — your kids growing up, your work changing, or your heart longing for something more — this episode is for you. In God's Guidance for Christian Moms in Seasons of Change, Misty invites kingdom-minded moms and moms in transition to pause, breathe, and rediscover the beauty of walking in step with God when life doesn't look like it used to. So many overwhelmed moms find themselves carrying too much — expectations, guilt, responsibilities, and the quiet ache of not knowing what's next. Misty shares her personal story from walking the Camino de Santiago with her husband Craig — a 14-day pilgrimage that became a powerful picture of how God's guidance often unfolds step by step, not all at once. You'll learn how to prepare spiritually for your next season, what to carry and what to leave behind, and how to hear God's voice when the road ahead feels uncertain. Drawing from biblical wisdom in Jeremiah 6 and Exodus 33, Misty reminds us that preparation is sacred — and that the Shepherd always walks with us. If you're longing for clarity, peace, and purpose in your journey of spiritual growth and motherhood, this episode will remind you: God's not just leading you somewhere new — He's forming something new within you. ✨ Tune in and discover how to walk your own pilgrimage of faith — lighter, freer, and ready to live with passion and purpose.

Do you ever sit down for “quiet time” with God, only to be interrupted before you even start? Between kids, work, and endless to-do lists, your days may feel anything but peaceful — and yet, your heart still longs to connect with Him. In this episode, I help busy Christian moms rediscover how to meet with God even when life feels loud, messy, and nonstop. You'll learn simple, practical ways to stay spiritually grounded throughout your day — no matter how chaotic it gets. If you've been feeling guilty that your quiet time isn't as structured or peaceful as it used to be, this conversation will remind you that God meets you right where you are. You don't need a perfect morning routine to grow closer to Him — just a willing heart and a few intentional moments in your everyday life.

In this heartfelt episode I sit down with my mom and sister to share a legacy of faith, resilience, and family love. My mom's story begins with her mom, an English war bride, who left everything familiar behind to start a new life in America. Later, mom had her own military journey after she married my dad who was stationed at first in Germany and eventually was deployed to Vietnam. Even though it was difficult, mom learned how to make anywhere feel like home. Through frequent moves, a long deployment, and so many home renovations, mom created a life centered on faith, love, and togetherness. Their story is a reminder that building a strong home isn't about having the perfect house—it's about the people, the faith, and the memories that fill it. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ What life was like for my grandmother, a war bride starting over in a new country ✨ The lessons I learned from a dad who was always renovating and rebuilding ✨ What it means to “find home” no matter where you are If you love stories about faith, family, and the power of home, this one will touch your heart and inspire you to see your own family's story through fresh eyes.

When your child dies, peace feels foreign. It's not just the absence of calm—it feels unreachable, like something other people get to have but you don't anymore. If that's you, friend, this episode will help you see peace differently. Not as something waiting at the end of your pain, but as a gift Jesus offers right in the middle of it. Here's what we'll explore together: Why the world's definition of peace will always leave you empty How Jesus' peace shows up even when the chaos doesn't stop The difference between striving for peace and receiving it as a gift Six characteristics of the peace that steadies a grieving heart Peace doesn't erase grief—but it does carry you when the weight feels too heavy to bear alone. Press play and let this message sit with you. Listen Next:

Do you ever find yourself replaying the same decision in your mind—curriculum choices, discipline, meal planning, screen time limits—only to end up feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough? If so, you're not alone. I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to live in a loop of second-guessing, especially when you're juggling homeschooling, ADHD tendencies, medical needs, and the daily demands of mom life.In today's episode, I'm sharing a biblical mindset reset for the overthinking mom. You'll hear both the science and the scripture behind why our brains get stuck in these spirals—and, more importantly, you'll walk away with two simple tools you can use immediately: 3 Simple Questions and Pause, Name, Reset. These are practical strategies you can tuck in your back pocket to calm the noise, build confidence, and trust that God has equipped you to lead your family with love.We'll talk about why even doctors struggle with decision fatigue, why naming your emotions helps calm your brain, and how anchoring your choices in biblical truth can bring peace to your days. My hope is that you'll finish this episode feeling lighter, more confident, and encouraged that you don't need to carry the burden of perfection.

Hey Friend, If you are a mom and you just haven't felt yourself since having kids. If you find yourself EXHAUSTED, irritable, and hanging by a thread. Or if it's been a bit since you raised young kids, but years later you feel like you never got back to a place of feeling well, today's guest has some amazing insight to share.   I do want to give a trigger warning for today's conversation regarding miscarriage. It is mentioned with minimal detail, focused primarily on the health surrounding the event.   Honestly, I believe the conversation offers hope and answers you may not know you needed to hear to finally feel well again.   I hope it blesses you!
