**EP 173: All Things Gifting; The Arrival of the Magi** Dec 16, 2024
Show notes

Hey Mamas! We’ve made it to the last episode of our Christmas series, and oh, what a journey it’s been! Today, we’re diving deep into the story of the Magi (the Wise Men) and King Herod. You guys, the contrast between these two is SO powerful. The Magi came to worship Jesus with humble hearts and incredible gifts, while Herod… yikes. His fear of losing control drove him to manipulation, lies, and even tragedy.

As we talked through this, we realized something BIG: sometimes we’re more like Herod than we’d like to admit (ouch ). But that’s where God’s grace steps in! We’re reminded to focus on Jesus, to stop what we’re doing, and give Him our hearts—even if it means pausing the chaos of the holidays for a quick prayer .

God’s plans are SO good, Mamas. Did you know Daniel’s faith (yes, from the lion’s den ) might’ve inspired the Magi to seek Jesus hundreds of years later? Like, what?! Nothing is wasted in God’s story, and that includes all the hard stuff we go through, too.

We’re wrapping up this episode with a challenge to pray for people around the world who can’t celebrate Christmas freely like we can. Let’s lift them up as a family and keep our eyes on the hope and joy that Jesus brings!

**EP 172: All Things Barns and Birth | The Birth of Jesus** Dec 09, 2024
Show notes

**Connect with Us:**

This Christmas season, let’s hit pause and remember what the holiday is really about. We all know it’s easy to get caught up in the glittery decorations, the must-have gifts, and the endless shopping lists. But what if we stopped for a moment and asked ourselves: Are we celebrating Christmas the world’s way, or God’s way? Because, let’s face it, God’s kingdom is upside down! His idea of royalty looks nothing like what we see in movies. A stable birth, humble shepherds, and a feeding trough for a crib—talk about a plot twist!

As moms, we’re juggling the stress of perfecting the Christmas tree, finding the ideal gifts, and making everything “Insta-worthy.” But here’s the fun truth: the real joy of Christmas doesn’t come from a picture-perfect holiday. It’s about celebrating Jesus, serving others, and soaking in the simple moments that truly matter. This season, let’s flip the script and focus less on what the world says Christmas should be and more on what God modeled for us. Instead of stressing over matching pajamas and show-stopping decorations, let’s shift our hearts to celebrating Jesus with joy, peace, and maybe even a little less shopping!

So, if you’ve already hit the holiday grind or if you’re just getting started, don’t worry—it’s never too late to make this Christmas different. Let’s keep the fun, but put Jesus first. Because when we celebrate the season His way, the peace, joy, and hope we’re all looking for? It’s already there, waiting for us. Let’s make this Christmas one that truly honors the King.

**EP 171: All Things Mary; You’re Having a Baby!** Dec 02, 2024
Show notes

Hey moms! Oh my goodness, this episode is bursting with Christmas cheer, deep truths, and some good laughs (seriously, how many pregnancy tests did YOU take?). We’re diving into Christmas movies, those magical moments that warm our hearts—and comparing them to the *real* magic of Christmas: the greatest story ever told.

We laughed over our favorite holiday movie quotes (yes, *Elf* makes the list!), swapped hilarious stories about pregnancy tests, and marveled at Mary’s incredible faith in God’s promises. How amazing is it that the same hope Mary held is available to us today?

So grab your cocoa, settle in, and let’s celebrate the season with all the joy, laughter, and encouragement you need. Don’t forget to share this with another mom who needs a little hope this season. You’re doing an incredible job, and we’re here cheering you on!

EP 168: MAMA SAID Just Wait Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-AHMdi23UM

As moms, we can either be super helpful to each other or end up being harmful if we aren’t careful with our words. We’re talking in this episode about things moms say to other moms and we’re focusing on the things we say that aren’t helpful. Unsolicited advice, minimizing, and comparing are all things we do that are not great.

A mom that is going through a hard time might share with a mama a season ahead of her and instead of hearing hope and encouragement, she gets the dreaded: JUST WAIT. As in, just wait until the newborn that doesn’t sleep becomes a tantrum-throwing toddler. Then, we find a mama who was already overwhelmed feeling worse as she anticipates all the hard to come.

Instead, what if we speak JUST WAIT into other moms as a way to offer hope as we share how good it’s going to be! As in, just wait until that sweet newborn can say mama and give you a hug. It’s going to be great! Let’s speak hope and life and joyful expectancy into each other, moms!

EP 164: MAMA SAID Stop Crying or I’ll Give You Something to Cry About Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

Our kids can have BIG emotions and so can we. Depending on how we were raised and our own issues, it can be such a struggle to handle our children’s big feelings. Kate and Rebecca share openly about the ways they’ve grown in this area and the big mistakes they’ve made along the way as they’ve navigated feelings.

Here’s what we want to remember:

Wait: Don’t have a big talk in the middle of an emotional storm

Prep: Make a plan when things are calm

Model: Model what you teach, apologize quickly

We don’t need to be afraid of emotions. We can turn to the God who created our emotions and ask him to guard our hearts and minds. When we give our emotions to him and remember he is with us, we calm down in our spirits and can lead ourselves and our children well.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4–7)
