Podcast appearances and mentions of christian motherhood

As I've been sorting and decluttering—bags to donate, projects to release, spaces to breathe again—God's been whispering something deeper:Letting go is not just about organizing. It's about obeying.Maybe you're in a season like mine—overwhelmed, surrounded by clutter, and longing for peace.Today, I want to remind you (and myself) that sometimes, the spiritual invitation is hidden right in the middle of a messy room.This isn't about perfection.It's about pausing long enough to hear what the Lord might be asking you to release—and trusting that peace and presence follow.With love,Katie

Send us a textThis episode is a heart-to-heart packed with wisdom, theology, and real talk from the other side of the “busy, burnout, and barely-holding-it-together” years.I'll take you behind the curtain of what I thought I needed to do to live a meaningful life—and what God gently showed me instead:

In this episode we think about the origins of Sunday School and the problems which were being solved in the 18th and 18th centuries. We look at the idiosyncrasies of 21st century childrens ministry (at least in Australia) and ask some questions about the assumptions underlying our current norms.  Charlotte Mason Parents and Children p.92ff  https://www.motherbiblelife.com/articles/somethingforthekids https://www.motherbiblelife.com/tableofcontents  

Do you ever walk into a room and forget why you're there—because your brain is juggling 35 invisible tabs at once?In Episode 302 of Her Home and Heart, we're unpacking the mental and emotional load that so many Christian homeschool moms silently carry. From constant planning to managing emotions, homeschool, meals, and life—it's no wonder we feel exhausted. I'll walk you through how to recognize the signs of cognitive overload, how to dump and delegate what's weighing you down, and how to create flexible rhythms that work with your season—not against it.

This episode features a brief life update as well as an article I wrote at Easter-time, but true for all times. Life is a cycle of deaths, seeds buried. But we believe in resurrection through Jesus Christ. My garden is a metaphor for that.

Mother's Day 2025 - Pastor Mark SmithMay 11, 2025

In this episode, Pastor Karl kicks off a new 10-week sermon series diving into the letters of 1st and 2nd Timothy. Speaking on Mother's Day, he highlights the powerful influence of faithful mothers and grandmothers, drawing from Timothy's own story, shaped by his mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois. Pastor Karl emphasizes the core theme of these letters: what a Jesus community believes—its doctrine—directly shapes how it lives. Exploring 1st Timothy Chapter 1, he unpacks Paul's charge to Timothy, a young leader in Ephesus, to remain steadfast in a challenging environment, teaching sound doctrine and resisting cultural confusion. Pastor Karl outlines six reasons to "remain" in faith: hard places need hard truth, God's people are needed, God uses unworthy people, we serve a great God, the battle for faith is too important to surrender, and some have already fallen away. With passion, he calls the church to stand under Scripture, guard doctrine, and trust in God's grace to live faithfully. Join us for an inspiring start to this series, urging believers to press in and stay committed.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Episode SummaryIn this moving episode of Faith Talks, Janna Faith shares life updates and introduces a special session from her sister, Stephanie Swanson, recorded live at a teen rally in Martinsville. Stephanie challenges listeners to reconsider how they view God's gifts—especially when those gifts come through trials, delays, or unanswered questions. With raw honesty, Scripture, and a powerful testimony of her son Parker's medical journey, she invites young ladies to trust God's heart, even when His gifts don't come wrapped the way they expect.Topics DiscussedLife update: Janna's new baby, Evan Martin SchultzIntroduction to Stephanie's session from the teen rallyHow God's gifts often appear as trialsThe temptation to rush God's plan vs. waiting on His timingStephanie's personal story of Parker's craniosynostosis and miraculous surgeryThe gospel opportunity with a world-renowned surgeonLessons from biblical characters who waited—or didn't wait—on GodPractical advice for walking by faith in waiting seasonsKey TakeawaysGod's gifts are always good, even when they don't feel like it.His timing is as purposeful as His provision—wait well.Personal trials can become platforms for gospel influence and ministry to others.Fix your heart on the Giver more than on the gift itself.Choosing thankfulness over “why” can shift your entire perspective.You'll never regret a step of faith—but you may regret a step of doubt.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation podcast designed to help young ladies discover greater ways to nurture and exercise their faith in their day-to-day walk with Christ.

I was in Chicago last week-end speaking at the Midwest Motherhood Conference - it was amazing!We laughed and cried and connected with so many friends and made new friends – the atmosphere was electric and I was so honored to speak to all these women.At this conference we had young women – some pregnant with their first, some pregnant with their 3rd or more.We had moms of elementary aged children and middle school kids.We had moms of high schoolers, college-age kids, and moms of children who have left the home.And one thing we all had in common was that everyone in that room gave up a Saturday morning for I think three reasons.  Listen to this episode to hear my thoughts on what moms are looking for.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

And in learning how to nurture my interior life, I learned how to find peace – peace when life and relationships were good and peace when chaos was the order of the day.  In the Gospel of Matthew we read, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” I wasn't going to God – I was carrying all the labor and burden of my life on my own. But once I started developing my interior life, I found peace - and I stopped yelling at the kids and being critical of my husband and those around me.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

We need to teach our children to have clear values of what's really important in life and satisfying their desires all the time is not it.  We need to help our children see that we're not here in this world to think constantly about what will make us happy and satisfy all our whims.Let's teach our kids that things of the world are here to enhance our life, not to make us self-centered, selfish, and always wanting more.If we want our children to practice moderation as adults, it's our job to teach them how to live it as children during boring days and celebratory seasons. Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

The mind finds what it seeks.  When we're focused on all the contradictions or negative parts of our life it is impossible to feel joy. But when we're focused on all that we're thankful for, our heart softens, and we can find the joy. Living in gratitude is a habit to embrace. It's not just one day on Thanksgiving or when special happy events happen in your life.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

Many new parenting styles create an imbalance in the child/parent relationship.  When we adopt a parenting style that is child-led and emotion driven, we do a disservice to our children by hyper focusing on how they feel and what they want rather than teaching them how to think and how to feel and express their feelings in an appropriate way while learning the good habits or virtues that are the foundation of thinking, feeling, and acting.In Virtue Based Parenting, we 1.   Recognize that we are the leaders of our children and that we are their first and most important teachers.2.  We seek self-growth in virtue in order to better model those virtues for our children and as a point of connection with each child.3.  We are proactive in establishing our parenting and home life goals and we communicate our expectations clearly and consistently. We react calmly and thoughtfully to our children's misbehavior seeking ultimately to fulfill our long-term goals rather than simply implementing short-term solutions.4.  We focus on formation through lived virtues, understanding that virtue, or good habits, is the foundation of excellent moral, spiritual, and practical goals.   Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?
