Inside the episode you'll discover: The freedom of “functional, not finished.” Why the Proverbs 31 woman isn't a perfection checklist—and neither is your house. Breaking the shame cycle. How to ditch guilt, embrace how God wired your brain, and start where you are. Faith in the middle of the mess.

Send us a textWelcome:At first glance, Romans 16 appears to be nothing more than a list of greetings—a roll call of names. But as we dig deeper, we discover this is not just a farewell section or an appendix to Paul's great letter. It is a profound window into the early church, its diversity, its leaders, and the vital role of hospitality, service, and community.Paul's list reads more like a memorial wall—every name etched into eternity with purpose and value. This episode explores why these names matter and what they teach us about true Christian fellowship, the equality of believers, and the heart of a community devoted to Christ.

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. Summer beckons – that magical time when routines relax and possibilities unfold like wildflowers. But how do we make these precious months truly matter?Instead of approaching summer with the typical achievement-oriented mindset that dominates the rest of our year, what if we shifted our focus to growth? Not the kind measured in completed checklists or Pinterest-worthy activities, but genuine expansion in relationships, rest, adventure, and joy.That's exactly what I'm exploring in this final episode before our summer podcast pause. I'm sharing my own summer intentions, challenging the anxiety-producing "18 summers" mantra that haunts parents, and offering practical ways to cultivate meaningful moments without the pressure of perfection.For those who thrive on structure, I've included practical frameworks like themed days and helpful resources in the show notes. For free spirits, there's permission to embrace spontaneity and the simple art of saying "yes" more often when our children invite us into their worlds.From yard games that create hilarious family memories to intentional digital detoxing that allows us to be truly present, this episode is filled with attainable ways to make this summer one of connection rather than accomplishment.When September arrives and we return with fresh episodes, I hope you'll have spent these months growing, resting, adventuring, and savoring the relationships that matter most. Because ultimately, that's what makes a summer that truly matters. Join me in embracing this pause, friends – I'll be waiting with new conversations, insights, and interviews when we return.Printable Resources: Printable Summer Bucketlist:https://sunriseelementarycounseling.weebly.com/blog/summer-bucket-list4977644Printable Summer Goals:https://writtenreality.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/free-summer-activities-chart-goals.pdfhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/17yNYnbDAFhRE5x_nHO8wG1u8LP9zY9jD/viewPrintable Weekly Summary:https://www.unoriginalmom.com/free-printable-weekly-summer-activity-plan/Printable Five Goals:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/71916925287715966Resources For A Great Summer:https://www.thebettermom.com/summer-with-kidsBook Resources:A Million Tiny Moments: Refections to Refresh a Mom's Spirit:https://amzn.to/43cByT6Homegrown Disciples: Parenting Rythmnsfor Drawing Your Kids Into Life With God:https://amzn.to/44J4FOXFrom Grouchy to Great - Finding Joy in the Journey of Motherhoodhttps://amzn.to/45myYLwPressing Pause- 100 Quiet Moments for Moms to Meet with God:https://amzn.to/4jjWkotRisen Motherhood - Gospel Hope for Everyday:https://amzn.to/3H39ngBhttps://amzn.to/3SOgNXy (beautiful deluxe edition)Gospel Moms - How to Make Biblical Decisions and Discover the Mom Go God Created You to Be:https://amzn.to/4dqnSqO Habits of the Household:https://amzn.to/438lFNhThe Flourishing Family: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Parenting with Peace and Purpose:https://amzn.to/3GZkpDIFun Yard Games:Kubb:https://amzn.to/3SJSXwaCrossnet:https://amzn.to/3SJSXwaSpikeBall:https://amzn.to/4dCfm8sYard Dice:https://amzn.to/3GZmFeaJOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

Send us a textThe real estate landscape is shifting beneath our feet, and the numbers tell a compelling story. Household income requirements for homebuying have reached staggering levels - $86,000 in North Carolina, a jaw-dropping $205,000 in California, while Mississippi sits at just $48,000. These stark differences reveal why homeownership feels increasingly out of reach for many Americans.Price cuts have become the canary in the coal mine for market shifts. When Arizona shows 37% of homes with reduced prices and North Carolina follows at 24.2%, we're seeing clear signals of a softening market. After three years of flattening prices nationwide, these indicators suggest sellers should act sooner rather than later.Beyond the numbers lies a deeply human story about our relationship with stuff. That nightstand drawer filled with mismatched socks, obsolete chargers, and dried-up pens? It's a metaphor for how we approach our homes. Most of us wear only 5-10% of our clothing and keep furniture, china, and heirlooms we never use. This accumulated "noise" creates physical and mental clutter that complicates life transitions.This is precisely why innovative solutions like Certified Pre-Owned home programs are revolutionizing real estate transactions. By applying the successful CPO model from the automotive industry to homes, sellers can unlock equity quickly (often within 14 days), avoid the stress of showings, and potentially receive 90-120% of market value. This approach proves especially valuable for seniors transitioning to retirement communities and homebuyers navigating new construction timelines.The truth many agents won't tell you: approximately one-third of real estate contracts fall through, often due to inspection surprises. Pre-inspections can dramatically reduce this risk while building buyer trust and minimizing repair negotiations. For a $500,000 home, this difference can translate to thousands in savings.Ready to rethink your relationship with your home and possessions? Start by decluttering one drawer at a time, letting go of what doesn't serve your next decade, and considering whether strategic selling approaches might better support your life transitions. The choices we make about our homes reflect far more than just real estate decisions—they shape how we live.

In this timely prophetic alert, Robert shares a recent experience where the Lord clearly spoke to him: “Tell My people to check their roofs.” But He wasn't talking about shingles and tiles — He was speaking of spiritual covering.Are you truly under the covering of Jesus in this hour of shaking, storms, and spiritual warfare?

My Daughters took over the podcast this week!   Interviewing Justin Whitmel Early about his new KIDS BOOK - "The Big Mess" ➡️ Why finding God in family life means embracing the mess, not avoiding it ➡️ How to create intentional spaces where your older kids will actually talk to you ➡️ The simple prayer that can transform frustrating parenting moments ➡️ Why throwing food might be good for your family (seriously!) This episode is filled with giggles, wisdom, and practical advice for dads navigating the beautiful chaos of family life. FULL SHOW NOTES: https://www.dadawesome.org/blog/382 SUMMARY: The Zaugg girls take over the podcast! In this special episode, Justin Whitmel Earley joins the four sisters to discuss his delightful new children's book, "The Big Mess." Discover why creating giant desserts (and sometimes destroying them) can teach profound lessons about forgiveness, sibling relationships, and finding God in the beautiful chaos of family life. Plus, hear why the girls are planning their own rooftop cookie adventure and how throwing pancakes across the kitchen can become a cherished family tradition. TAKEAWAYS The best relationship-building moments with your children happen in the mess, not by avoiding or controlling it. As kids grow older, shift from structured rhythms to creating intentional spaces where deeper conversations can happen naturally. Relationship is built in shared activity—invite your children into your projects, even when it means things will take longer or be done imperfectly. A "pause prayer" before disciplining your children can transform how you respond to frustrating situations. The reconciliation between siblings can be generative, creating joy that extends beyond your family to bless your entire neighborhood. GUEST Justin Whitmel Earley is the bestselling author of "The Common Rule," "Habits of the Household," and "Mate." He's also the founder of The Hang Ten Movement, which encourages parents to wait until 10th grade before giving their children smartphones. Justin lives with his wife and four sons near Richmond, Virginia, where they enjoy building (and sometimes smashing) enormous desserts in their kitchen and driveway.   Links mentioned: Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome:  Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 The Big Mess by Justin Whitmel Earley The Common Rule by Justin Whitmel Earley Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley Made For People by Justin Whitmel Earley The Hang Ten Movement

Joshua 24:14–15  14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.

Household spending has shifted due to high inflation and economic uncertainty. Consumers are prioritizing essential items like groceries while often forgoing discretionary purchases, including games, apparel, and prestige beauty. Circana's Sally Lyons Wyatt, global EVP and chief advisor for consumer goods and foodservice insights, and Adam Mellott, vice president of consumer and shopper insights, provide valuable insights into the current state of household spending, the role of retailers, and the resilience of consumers during challenging times. Highlights: Consumers are carefully weighing their options at the shelf, which doesn't necessarily mean the end of indulgent and premium purchases. Many retailers, notably within the dollar channel, are putting value – including convenience and affordability – front and center, which is proving attractive to a wider audience of shoppers. Urban and rural consumers are reacting to economic uncertainty in different ways, which will impact product assortments, oftentimes within the same retail chain.   While tariffs haven't impacted CPG prices yet, consumers will be tracking prices carefully. Innovation – from product development to assortment – can be critical to locking in consumer loyalty during challenging times.

More signs that the Defense Department's multi billion dollar contract to overhaul household goods shipments is not going well. As peak moving season gets underway, at least one military service is temporarily walking away from the global household goods contract and thousands of moves that were supposed to be handled by Home Safe the new vendor are headed back to DoD's legacy moving system.

John Starke preaches from Acts 16:11-34, continuing in our sermon series "Acts: Becoming the New".

If you find yourself frequently distracted or falling behind on your responsibilities, ask your husband to help keep you accountable. A daily check-in where he asks what tasks you've completed can work wonders for your focus and follow-through. As a submissive wife, you are not alone in managing your time; your Head of Household can guide you. If gentle accountability isn't enough, consider implementing reasonable consequences for incomplete chores or duties. Discipline isn't punishment it's a path to peace and order. Prioritize avoiding distractions and commit to honoring your role through consistency and effort.

“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” – 2 Timothy 1:5Mother's Day invites us to reflect on the deep, often quiet influence of a mother's faith. The Apostle Paul's words to Timothy reveal that sincere faith often passes from one generation to the next through the loving guidance of mothers and grandmothers. Today, we celebrate that legacy.A Mother's Work: Beyond MeasureWhen we think about the value of moms, it's usually in terms of intangible gifts—love, wisdom, compassion, and sacrifice. These are treasures that can't be priced.But what if we did try to measure the economic value of a mother's daily work?According to Salary.com, a working mother averages 54 hours a week managing her household in addition to her job. Stay-at-home moms? They often work the equivalent of 15-hour days, seven days a week. The roles include everything from chef and nurse to financial manager, event planner, and counselor.Based on these duties, a mother's annual salary would exceed $185,000—and that's before bonuses, overtime, or hazard pay. Factoring in those extras, a stay-at-home mom could easily command over $200,000 a year. And truthfully, she's worth every penny.Still, even that figure falls short of her true worth. The value of a mother's love and faithfulness can't be calculated. It's personal. It's spiritual. It's eternal.How Scripture Calls Us to Honor MothersThe Bible doesn't just acknowledge the role of mothers—it esteems it. Proverbs 31:28 paints a moving picture of a godly woman's reward:“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”Honoring your mother starts with your words. Tell her what she means to you. Thank her for the sacrifices she has made and the ways she has reflected God's love in your life.But biblical honor doesn't end with gratitude. It matures into care, especially as our mothers age.Honoring Through Care: A Biblical MandateIn Mark 7:10–13, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for neglecting their duty to care for their parents, even though they claimed their resources were dedicated to God. Their so-called righteousness became a mask for selfishness. Jesus made it clear: caring for your parents is not optional; it's a direct expression of your devotion to God.In today's terms, honoring your mother might look like:Making time for her amid your busy scheduleOffering financial assistance or managing her needsIncluding her in decisions that affect the familyListening with patience and respectPraying for and with her regularlyThese acts aren't just thoughtful gestures—they reflect the heart of Scripture and offer a meaningful way to live out our faith in everyday life.Honoring a Legacy of FaithWhether it's your biological mom, your wife, a grandmother, or a spiritual mother who's poured into your life, this Sunday is your opportunity to show them they're not alone or forgotten.Let her know she's seen. Let her know she's loved. Let her know that her quiet faithfulness—the prayers whispered, the tears cried, the meals made, the lessons taught—isn't wasted. It is, in fact, shaping generations and pointing hearts toward Jesus.Because when a mother models faith, she's not just building a home—she's shaping eternity.This Mother's Day, let's rise up and call her blessed, not just with words, but with actions that honor God and her.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Is Bitcoin something that someone should have in their portfolio?

“The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” – Proverbs 22:3That verse reminds us that wisdom means planning ahead, especially when it comes to life's most serious emergencies. If something were to happen to you, would your family know how to manage the finances, pay the bills, or access important documents? Today, Dr. Art Rainer joins us to walk through how to create a financial emergency binder.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose.Why Planning Ahead MattersLife is full of unexpected turns, and while we trust God in all things, wisdom calls us to prepare, especially when it comes to our finances and family care.Consider the questions every household should be able to answer:What happens if you or your spouse is hospitalized?Would someone know how to manage your bills and care for your children?If you were to pass away unexpectedly, would your family know where to find your vital documents?Sadly, many families are left overwhelmed and directionless in moments of crisis because these preparations were never made. Yet this kind of confusion can be avoided through a simple but powerful step: organizing essential information before it's urgently needed.The Power of an Emergency BinderAn emergency binder is a centralized location—digital and physical—where your most critical information is stored. This includes:Financial accounts and passwordsMedical records and contactsInsurance informationBill due dates and utilitiesFuneral wishesChildcare instructionsAnd more.Preparing an emergency binder may not feel urgent, but when the unexpected happens, it becomes priceless. Organizing your household's key information is a tangible expression of love, wisdom, and care. It's a simple act of stewardship that offers comfort, clarity, and care when it matters most.How to Get StartedCreating an emergency binder might sound overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.Here's a simple approach: work on one section at a time. Set aside 30 to 60 minutes a day to focus on gathering the necessary documents for each category. This bite-sized method turns a daunting project into a doable one.And once it's complete? Print it out. A red three-ring binder is a wise choice for easy identification in an emergency. Store it in a secure, fireproof location, and ensure that your loved ones are aware of its location. It's also wise to keep a digital backup, securely stored and shared with trusted family members.If you're thinking, “I wish someone would just do this for me,” you're in luck. Art and his team have created The Essential Emergency Binder—a beautifully designed resource with over 60 pages of templates and instructions to help you get started quickly and confidently.You can find it at EssentialEmergencyBinder.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I want to consolidate our investments. We have a pension, Social Security, Roth IRAs, a 401(k), and traditional IRAs at two different financial institutions.

Is this the right way for a church to use funds?I've received a six-figure inheritance from my uncle in Florida, which includes checking, savings, a money market account, and a Lutheran annuity.

Fan Mail Me BrrrruuuuunnndenThe battle against uninvited houseguests rarely ends with a simple victory. From the silent destruction of termites costing Americans billions annually to the midnight cricket that drove one host to strip naked and hunt it down, our latest episode dives deep into the frustrating world of household pests.Did you know a mature termite colony can consume up to a pound of wood daily? Or that carpenter bees create not just structural damage but entry points for water – potentially causing far more destruction than the insects themselves? We share shocking facts about common pests while trading war stories from our own pest control nightmares.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is our practical approach to solutions. We explore both traditional and unconventional methods: from the effectiveness of cats against mice to homemade cricket traps using Coca-Cola. For pet owners, we tackle the challenging balance between finding solutions that eliminate pests without endangering beloved animals – including why natural remedies often disappoint while chemical options raise health concerns.The episode takes unexpected turns as we recount personal horror stories, including a memorable middle-of-the-night encounter with a cricket that led to some questionable naked furniture climbing, and a painful bee infestation that resulted in multiple stings and the realization that "eco-friendly" spray might just make bees angrier, not deader.Whether you're dealing with chipmunks ("designer mice") or stink bugs (that supposedly summon more when killed), this episode delivers equal parts practical advice, humorous mishaps, and camaraderie around a universal homeowner struggle.

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb dives deep into the rich and challenging teachings of Colossians 3:18–4:1 on Christian household ethics. With Tony absent, Jesse takes the reins to explore the revolutionary and countercultural aspects of Paul's instructions to wives, husbands, children, and slaves. He emphasizes how these teachings, though often misunderstood or misapplied, are deeply rooted in the lordship of Christ and the call for submission, love, and service within the family structure. Jesse begins by highlighting the groundbreaking nature of Paul's acknowledgment of women, children, and slaves in a societal context where these groups often held little to no value. Paul's direct address to these groups affirms their inherent worth as image-bearers of God. Jesse also challenges listeners to see how Paul's instructions to men, particularly husbands and fathers, subvert the cultural norms of the time by calling them to love and serve their families sacrificially, rather than exercising dominance. The discussion extends to the broader implications of Paul's teaching, focusing on how Christ's lordship should permeate every aspect of family life. Jesse draws attention to the transformative power of living out these principles in modern Christian households, urging listeners to embrace submission and service not as burdens, but as acts of worship and reverence for Christ. Key Points: Paul's Revolutionary Address to Marginalized Groups: Paul affirms the value of women, children, and slaves by addressing them directly, which was unprecedented in the cultural context of the Roman Empire. The Call for Husbands to Love and Serve: Paul challenges traditional male authority by instructing husbands and fathers to lead with love and avoid harshness, reflecting Christ's sacrificial love. Christ-Centered Family Dynamics: All family relationships are to be oriented around Christ's lordship, emphasizing submission and service as acts of worship. The Surprising Ethics of Slavery: While acknowledging the existence of slavery in the Roman world, Paul subverts its norms by reminding masters of their accountability to their own Master in heaven. Questions for Reflection: How does Paul's affirmation of marginalized groups in Colossians challenge societal norms, both in his time and today? In what ways does the call for husbands to love their wives mirror Christ's love for the Church? How can we ensure that Christ remains at the center of our family relationships and everyday interactions? What does submission look like in a modern Christian household, and how can it reflect reverence for Christ?
