EP #006]]>You want it. You crave it. And yet somehow, it's become one of the biggest sources of guilt in your life as a mum.

We're talking about quiet time — and friend, it's time we had an honest conversation about it.

In this episode, I'm getting real about something I wrestled with for years: the heavy burden of perfectionism around spending time with God. The shame spiral when you miss a day. The obsession with the perfect journal, the perfect spot, the perfect time of morning. Sound familiar?

So in this episode we're diving into:

  • 📖 What quiet time actually is (and what it isn't)
  • 🕰️ Where it came from — hint: it's not as ancient as you think
  • ⛪ What devotional life looked like in the early church (this one might surprise you)
  • 📜 What Scripture actually says about it
  • 💡 Why your perception of quiet time might be the very thing getting in the way of actually being with Jesus

This isn't an episode telling you to ditch your Bible and your devotional journal. It's an invitation to loosen your grip on the idea of quiet time — and hold tighter to the One it's meant to point you to.

📌 Resources & Scriptures Mentioned:

  • Matthew 6:6
  • Mark 1:35
  • Psalm 1:1-2
  • John 15 (abiding in Christ)

This Episode Is For You. EP #005]]>January hit different, didn't it? Wars, scandals, exposed corruption, church drama — and you're just trying to get through the day without losing your mind or your temper with your kids.

In this episode, we're tackling the tension so many of us feel: how do we stay informed without becoming overwhelmed? How do we stay tender to what breaks God's heart without letting anxiety run our lives? And what does God actually ask of us in these last days — because it might surprise you.

We dig into what Scripture says about guarding your mind, consuming news wisely, and the quiet, faithful life God calls us to — even when the world feels like it's unraveling. Spoiler: your ordinary, surrendered day is the will of God.

If you've been feeling numb, fatigued, or just plain heavy lately — this one's for you. 🤍

Ep #004]]>In this episode, I sit down with Maddy Grace to talk about raising little disciples in the everyday rhythms of family life. Maddy shares how a simple moment with her daughter sparked a passion to help children understand who God is and why they were created. We talk about discipling our kids at home, why theology matters even for little hearts, and how simple habits like prayer, Bible reading, and creativity can help sow seeds of faith. If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to teach your children about God, this conversation will encourage you to start right where you are.
