209/ Following Our Calling WHILST Raising Kids and Pointing Them to Jesus (with Ali Gilkerson)

Hey Mumma, Earlier this year I read the Bible through in chronological order (I used a 12 month plan in YouVersion and did 2 readings each day) and I got so much out of it. Today on the podcast, I want to share with you 4 thoughts I have after reading the Bible through and they might not be what you expect!

Hey Mumma, Family mealtime doesn't have to be complicated! In fact it should be a time of the day we all enjoy yet so many of us are stuck dreading dinner time because we either have to make different food for everyone, are dealing with picky eaters, engaging in power struggles and usually ending up with someone having a meltdown. Today on the podcast I am joined by Jason Levee, a registered dietician from New York, who is passionate about family nutrition, and we are chatting all things when it comes to simplifying and enjoying family mealtime again no matter what difficulties you might be facing at dinner.   Connect with Jason : https://wholefamilyhealth.co/

It can be hard to know when to bring up hard conversations and what to say, but we know as Christian parents, we want our kids to know the truth and need to set them up with a biblical foundation. Today I am joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz from Foundation Worldview to discuss how we can have these conversations around biblical sexuality with our kids, what age should we start bringing these ideas up, why these conversations are important, what topics to cover and how often to have these conversations.   Links: Foundation Worldview Website See more on the God's Good Design curriculum Use code "MUMMA10" for 10% a family license of any Foundation Worldview curriculum

As a mum, you probably don't really get any time for yourself. But is self care selfish? Is it okay to "do" self care as a Christian woman? These are the thoughts and questions I am chatting around in todays episode. Specifically the difference between soul care and self pride and promotion. And how I, as a mum of 3, find time for myself. My Simple Skincare for Mums Join Our Facebook Community

Hey Mumma, Do you freak out at the thought of having others in your home? Maybe like I used to be, you're ashamed of your home, maybe it's small, old and cluttered. Today on the podcast I am diving into the gift to others that our hospitality is, what the Bible says and how we can shift our mindset to see how we can create a space for others to be seen and loved. FYI ;) having home rhythms makes it sooo much easier to do this! Be blessed, Elyse

Hey Mumma, I get it! As a mum we have a constant to do list going through our mind and that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, especially when we can't tick things off it. But what if your overwhelm is more than just because you have things to do, more than just keeping on top of the house? Sometimes we have "internal overwhelm" that is actually causing external factors to seem more mentally consuming than they should be. Today on the podcast I am chatting about TWO things that may be contributing to your overwhelm. And the good news is we have total control over these things and therefore can make changes, which I share in the episode too.
