When Being Married Feels Like Roommates...With Kids: Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler May 05, 2026

Show notes

Marriage didn’t get easier when the kids came; it got louder, tighter, and easier to miss each other. Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, authors of Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, meet you there in survival-mode advice with honest, lived-in perspective. From overstimulation to quiet resentment, they name what’s real—and point toward a better way to stay on the same team when connection feels out of reach.

Hot Mess to Hopeful: Risen Motherhood for the Worst Days: Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler May 04, 2026

Show notes

You love your kids. But some days you lose it, replay it, and carry the weight. Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, authors of Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, meet you smack dab in the middle of your mess, not the highlight reel. They challenge the suffocating pressure to be the “ideal mom” and point to something far sturdier when your guilt, comparison, and chaos are hitting home.

Mom Shame: Why You’re Hiding (and What It’s Costing You): Abbey Wedgeworth Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

Mom shame doesn’t just whisper—it isolates. Maybe this looks like snapping, hiding, the “I’ll fix it myself” cycle. And meanwhile, you’re exhausted and still feel like you’re coming up short. Abbey Wedgeworth, author of Help! I'm Ruining My Kids: A Gospel Guide for the Mom Who's Desperate for Change, names what’s really going on—behind the anger, the silence, the pressure to hold it together. She digs into why going it alone keeps you stuck longer than you think.

Sports Evangelism: Stop Trying to Score. Start Building Trust--Heather Reddy Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

You want to be open about your faith—but not that person. Pushy. Scripted. Weird. So you stay quiet. Meanwhile, life’s already full—kids’ games, long weekends, surface-level talk. What if sports evangelism didn’t feel like a setup? Heather Reddy, national women's soccer chaplain with Athletes in Action, gets the tension and offers a more natural way to connect—right where you already are, without forcing the moment.
