A Conversation With Lois Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

This week on the podcast, I am joined by our oldest granddaughter, Lois! We talk about what it means to be duty-driven as a high school sophomore, how to push through hard things, and how to make decisions about extracurricular activities. Lois shares how she came to know the Lord and the influence people have had on her as she grows in her faith. Lois also talks about what life has been like for her and her sisters as she has transitioned from being educated at home to a Christian school. I love having these conversations with my grand girls – and I trust that you are encouraged by this heart-to-heart chat with Lois!

A Conversation With Grace Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

This week on the podcast, you will hear from my granddaughter, Grace. I asked her what her walk with God is like as a 13-year-old seventh grader. I asked how her relationship with God impacts her life as a daughter, a sibling, a cousin… We talked about how she studies the Bible and how she would encourage someone her age to stay strong in the Lord. It is always my prayer that this podcast encourages you

Adjusting to School as a Teen and a Pre-Teen Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

In this week's podcast, I had the opportunity to talk with two of my granddaughters, AudreyKate and Evangeline, as they have made the journey from school at home to school away from home. They started at Academy31 this past fall in Raleigh, North Carolina and I had the best time in interviewing them.

I spoke with them in June as they were anticipating the change - you can listen to that episode here:

Mary's Changing Role Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

Mary was chosen by God to carry not only her Savior, but our Savior. She was also chosen to raise Him as a baby and as a child. Something happened when He was 12 that she didn't quite understand, at that time. But she continued to grow in her faith and her understanding because she pondered and treasured everything in her heart. We talk about that this week on the podcast as we see her changing role in His life. He was about his Father's business. We watch her all the way to the cross and even afterwards.

As always, I hope this week's podcast encourages you

A Motherless Generation Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

What’s going to happen if our godly women today don’t invest in the lives of the next generation of young women? I think about this often. So many young women don’t grow up in families that reflect what a biblical family should be. This generation is consumed by social media and influencers, yet God says the primary influencers should be the godly older women in the church—women who are not like Lot’s wife, in love with the world rather than the Lord.

Young women need, as they always have, older women who understand what God’s Word teaches about being created as a woman, who have walked faithfully with Him, learned to bring their emotions under His control, and have wisdom to pass on to the young women following them.

Here’s the thing: today’s young women are, in many ways, a motherless generation—both in the home and in the church. Some may dismiss me as just an old lady, but that doesn’t matter. As long as God gives me breath, I will continue teaching His truth.

This week’s podcast features a message I shared with women at a conference in Dallas, Texas.

I trust it will encourage you.
