82 | Do You Miss Your Old Self, Mama?: How to Feel More Human, Adjust Your Parenting & Leave Guilt Behind Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

This is a conversation that I fully, completely believe in and plan to have FAR more often.

On today's episode with Sarah Bragg, author of A Mother's Guide to Raising Herself, we discuss the importance of not losing yourself within your motherhood, but rather growing INTO yourself. Jesus prunes us as we raise our little ones, mamas.

The Wife Project FINAL LAUNCH is on November 7th! Don't miss it! Sign up for the waitlist today!

He grows us just as much as we work to raise our little ones up well during our time together. But the question that I want to challenge you with today is: are you willing to be sanctified in your motherhood? Are you willing to fight for your own mental health rather than giving up and giving in?

Sarah and I are honest and vulnerable in this conversation as we discuss the struggles that we've had within our own parenting, how it's never too late to change your parenting style and how I'm navigating that in my own life right now, why showing up on the days when you're burnt out is more than enough and how to deal with pressure from family members when they tell you how to raise your own children.

81 | Dear Sister, Do You Feel Stuck? How to Live Well in Seasons of Waiting with Alyssa Bethke Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

Alyssa Bethke's new book: Satisfied: Finding Hope, Joy, and Contentment Right Where You Are came at such a timely moment for me and I knew her wisdom would bless you guys as well! Whether you feel stuck in your life, your job, your growth or faith or you struggle with discontentment as a whole, this conversation is for you.

Sign up for The Wife Project Waitlist, launching Nov. 7th!

I believe that so many of us (including myself) can become really exhausted because we live life searching for the next best thing. But sometimes Jesus isn't ready to give us that next thing yet - or maybe it isn't part of His plan to ever make that change. A "maybe later" answer to our prayers can often be a painful or confusing place to be in.

Alyssa (@alyssajoybethke) and I share our personal experiences and biblical perspective on the waiting seasons of life and why that waiting is not in vain. If you feel stuck in your life, if you feel like God isn't answering your prayers, if you feel like someone else is where you wish you could be - this conversation is for you.

79 | How to Raise Boys Who Are Good at Being Men with Pastor Jon Tyson Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

"I want to pass on radical blessing, not radical dysfunction, to my children."

This is one of the quotes that Pastor Jon Tyson from NYC (@jontyson) shared with me and all I could think was 'amen!'

On this episode, we are talking all about raising boys to be GOOD at being godly men. And I truly have had few interviews that I felt like I learned so much from as I did in this one. Pastor Jon talks about the difficult burden that many children bear which is the unlived life of a parent and how that deeply affects them. He shares about how men ache to be good at being men, but often lack the tools and resources to do so.

Don't forget to sign up for our FINAL LAUNCH of The Wife Project: sparrowsandlily.com/the-wife-project

Pastor Jon offers his own experiences as a father of over 20 years and the biblical truths that helped him to build such a strong relationship with his son.

He talks about the importance of a father showing vulnerability with their son and how to invite them into your life so that the bond isn't broken when your children become teenagers. This is a PHENOMENAL interview and one that I strongly recommend that you listen to once and then again with your spouse.

78 | How to Declutter Your Home (and Mind) When You're Overwhelmed By Too Much Stuff: A Q&A with Allie Casazza Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Today's guest is Allie Casazza, queen of decluttering and the woman who helps other women simplify everything - in their homes, in their schedules and even in their motherhood.

As I prayed about this conversation, I realized how deeply important it is that our days begin well at home. Our mornings begin at home, our rest begins at home and that flows out onto the people and situations we come across throughout the day. We have to get a handle on our homes, friends - for sweeter days and for furthering the Kingdom. We shouldn't be spending every moment cooking, cleaning, stressing and then cleaning again, only to miss out on the most special moments that we should be savoring with our little ones and our families.

I took to Instagram for this episode to ask you guys what you wanted to hear from Allie, so this Q&A style conversation is full of practical advice that you wanted to know.

Allie shares how her own life was impacted by too much stuff and how it affected her own joy and caused deep depression and anxiety in her motherhood, which is what compelled her to write a book and coach women in the art of minimalism. She talks about guilt-free, no-stress ways to transform your home and your life - and it is GOOD stuff, you guys.

On this episode, Allie answers questions about decluttering children's toys, the importance of donating items without guilt, how to organize without all of the fancy baskets and expensive plastic bins, teaching your children and husband about the process, and much more!

By the way, if you have a quick minute, would you mind giving The Living Easy Podcast a star rating and review on iTunes? It should really only take 60 seconds! I love hearing feedback from you guys and it really blesses me to see the reviews. It also helps me to get more amazing guests like Allie on the show! Thanks so much!

77 | How to Make (and Keep) Good Friends as an Adult and as a Couple with Pastors' Wives: Stephanie, Jenna & Jessica Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

On today's conversation, I am talking all things friendship with Stephanie, Jenna and Jessica from Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast. I love this conversation because you are getting THREE different perspectives on finding friends as an adult.

These three women are pastor's wives from three separate churches who love the Lord and love relationship but, just as any human being does, they have faced their own share of challenging friendships. They talk about the loneliness that can come with being in ministry, how to find couple friends and why it's okay if your husband doesn't love hanging out with that one person, and most importantly, we discuss how expectations, different life stages (such as having babies or getting married) AND boundaries can all affect a friendship, and how to navigate through that.

I loved this conversation and it's one ya'll have been asking for for quite a long time, so I'm happy to share it with you! You can also listen to my Q&A Live on instagram @livingeasywithlindsey to hear my husband Jesse and me talk about this same topic and what it looks like practically in our lives.

75 | How I Study the Bible: Which Bible Translations I Recommend, Scripture Memorization and My Honest Thoughts on Quiet Time & Devotionals Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

The questions of how I study my Bible and which Bible I read or recommend are two of the most popular questions I receive (by far!)

On this episode, I am sharing practical tips on how to read and study the Word and the importance of not making this a black-and-white experience.

I discuss why we should shift our perspective about church and scripture-reading, why I believe the promise of "quiet time" can be a lie and a distraction, my opinion on devotionals and podcasts and why the Word is so powerful and pertinent to our lives.

73 | The Marks of a Christian Life: Are You Living It Out? Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Are you really, truly living out your faith? On today's episode, I (Lindsey Maestas) talk about the characteristics that are tightly woven into the heart of a Jesus-following Christian and what it really means to live out a faithful, biblical life.

Each portion of this episode is packed with scripture; I dig in to one of my favorite chapters of the Bible: Romans 12. I also discusses Peter's relationship with Jesus and how their interactions together can impact the way that we live out our faith and see our God.

I discuss what modesty in scripture actually refers to (hint: the focus actually isn't on how you dress) and why it applies to both men and women. And you can't forget the common struggles of comparison, sex, intimacy and marriage, having a lowly and humble spirit and so much more.

Do you have tasteful judgment? Do you use discretion? Do you live a virtuous life? Do you truly, truly know Jesus? Let's talk about it.
