Ep. 165: Homemaking Matters (A Chat with Marci Ferrell)
If you find yourself confused and conflicted about the modern narrative surrounding “homemaking,” “tradwives,” and what exactly it means to keep your home well, this episode is for you.My guest Marci Ferrell does an excellent job of breaking down the why behind investing time and energy into our homes and families as a way of bringing glory to God. With calm, compassionate, clear language, she exhorts women to view homemaking as a muscle to be strengthened and then flexed regularly as a way to bring order and peace in our homes—rather than as a way to bring attention to ourselves or gain admiration from others. She also addresses how easily being a “good homemaker” can become an idol and how to avoid that trap while still seeing value in our daily work.I loved this episode, and I know you’ll be encouraged and exhorted by it too! Guest Info:Marci Ferrell is a wife, mom, Nana, homemaker, author, and the voice behind Thankful Homemaker. She encourages Christian women to love Christ, faithfully steward their homes, and find biblical purpose in the ordinary work of everyday life.Find More Encouragement from Marci at Thankful HomemakerInterested in Marci’s Book?

Ep. 164: All Things Baby #11!
Today’s show is all about Baby Halberstadt #11!I’m answering your FAQs (how I feel, when I’m due, how big our age gap will be, etc.) and chatting about what it’s like to be pregnant at 44.I’m also discussing a couple of things I’m doing differently this time around. I hope you find these helpful! It’s certainly a different experience being pregnant in my forties in many ways than our other pregnancies (I care way less about people’s opinions, for one), and I am so grateful to be able to carry this new little life, especially after several losses in the last 6 years.

Ep. 162: Contentment Breeds Capacity + Big News!
Our current culture gives us every reason to make excuses for our lack of capacity: circumstances, trauma, personality, etc. But what if we truly believed that God’s Word and power truly have everything we need for life and godliness and that we truly can do so much more than we feel capable of—not because we are great but because Christ is. In this episode, I talk about the link between choosing contentment and growing capacity, backed by Paul’s famous, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”When we have hit a wall of capability, we still have the ability to turn to God in praise and receive strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. If you’re struggling with overwhelm or wondering how to grow in your capacity, I pray this episode encourages you that it’s possible!
