House Builders Nov 18, 2024

Women are house builders.

Proverbs 9:1 says, "Wisdom has built her house . . . "

Verse 10 says : "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

This week's podcast will help us understand some choices we must make to be wise house builders.

The Woman Who Builds Nov 12, 2024

Proverbs 24:3–4 states this:

"By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge, the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches."

God is so kind to trust women to build homes whose rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. As we build our homes, we are strengthening the country, and we have a major influence in the world. When we do this, we are bringing honor to the Lord.

On this week's podcast, we focus on what it means to be a biblical housebuilder.

I trust it encourages you.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Nov 05, 2024

The poem "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is the Hand that Rules the World" was written in 1865 and although the phrase remains, the poem has long faded from memory.

As you listen to this week's podcast, you will hear a lot from the book of Proverbs, you will hear the poem, and by God's grace, you will be renewed in your heart about what it means to walk with God moment by moment doing the things God has called you to do. And one of those things is rocking the cradle. The world may not notice your faithfulness in the home, but God does. And it matters.

Workers at Home Oct 29, 2024

Working in the home matters. Being there for your people - making a house a home matters.

All throughout the Scripture, we see how God created women to be keepers of the home in a very special way. Then specifically in Titus chapter 2, when the Lord is giving a curriculum list of what the older women are to teach the younger women, one of those is to be "a worker at home. "

This week on the podcast, we're going to explore that phrase and even talk about how it has become so controversial in our day.

I trust it will be helpful to you and as always, visit my website at audreybroggi.com for more encouragement.

Home Oct 22, 2024

This week on the podcast, I share some thoughts about home.

No matter where or how or when we grew up, we never forget our home. Home is supposed to be something really special. It is supposed to be the place where we are loved unconditionally, taught, guided, sheltered, and protected in our youngest years. It's supposed to be a place that prepares us for life.

God has a heart for the home. He established it.

It is my prayer that this podcast encourages you.

Celebrating the Holidays Oct 15, 2024

October, November, December! The season of holidays ... Reformation Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

On this week's podcast, I'm joined by my daughter, GraceAnna, and we talk about all things holidays. We're moving into that season and there's so much to share from the big holidays to simple celebrations as a family.

We conclude with Manger in Danger and how Grant and GraceAnna created a game focusing on Christ from a simple tradition in their family.

Rest For Our Souls Oct 08, 2024

Jesus gave an invitation in Matthew's gospel:

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

That invitation still stands for us today. On this week's podcast, we get glimpse of some people in the New Testament and how Jesus taught them to rest even when they were disappointed in life, even when their circumstances overwhelmed them, and even when they were distracted and flustered.

What Jesus taught still stands and applies for us today.

And as always, you will find lots of encouragement at my website www.audreybroggi.com

Launching Pt. 4 Sep 01, 2024

When I recorded the first "Launching" episode, I didn't know it would evolve into a four part series, but here we are.
In this week's episode, I share some raw emotions as to what it was like for me launching our last two children from the Broggi home. And as I did, my thoughts gathered around Psalm 100 as I closed out the podcast.
Who knows? I may return to this theme again because as I shared in the show notes last time, we are always launching our children. We never stop being mothers. We never stop loving them, praying for them, cheering for them, and holding them close our hearts.
You will find lots of essays I've written about my life journey and things God has taught me over the years at my website www.audreybroggi.com

Launching Jack Aug 25, 2024

This week on the podcast, I am joined by my daughter-in-law, Maureen and you'll hear from her about launching their first born son, Jack, to college and all the steps they made preparing for this time in their lives. You've heard from me in these last two podcasts dealing with this topic and as I shared on the show notes last time, I still have another podcast in my bones to share on launching next time ...

Launching Part 2 Aug 19, 2024

I had a feeling I wanted to do a follow up after last week's podcast. And even after recording this week, I want to do more. Why? Because every single one of us begins launching our children as soon as we find out we're carrying them. We launch them from the womb into the world and then we launch them every time they say a word or they begin to take steps or they go to their first play date or to story time in a class whether at church or at school ...

Our lives as women are spent launching our children from one stage to the next, and it continues, even after we have launched them from our homes - because in our hearts, we're still launching them as we watch them grow in their adult years, have their own families, and sometimes God even allows us to witness their lives as they begin creeping into their senior years.

So this week on the podcast, I continued with the theme of launching as my thoughts gathered around Psalm 90. Many of you are in the years of walking through life changes I was walking through 20 years ago. I want to encourage you and I know that one day, you will be where I am now should the Lord tarry.

I have much more to say in future podcasts.

I pray this week's drop will be encouraging to you.

My girls are very busy right now with their families, but they are taking time in September to come to Beaufort individually to teach a study they co-authored titled Chosen in Love at our women's ministry, Woman's Life. Their messages will be aired on the podcast during the month of September.

Launching Aug 11, 2024

As my son and his wife launch their first child from home, I have been thinking about so many things. Life is filled with bittersweet moments. This past week, in particular, I have been filled with so much nostalgia as I reflected on how quickly time goes by, how important it is that we invest the time God gives us well, live in the moment yet all the while look forward to the future.

It's interesting, but as I was searching for a document on my computer, I came across a response I had written to someone's question back in 2004.

It was a time in our lives when we were launching three of our children from home at the same time ... that was the year we had three graduations and a wedding. And though we had begun the process four years earlier when our first child went to college, it hit me. It was 20 years ago and now these 20 years later, our oldest grandson is launching from his home.

So, I had an epiphany - I needed to share what I wrote on the podcast. See, a lot of people wonder about launching their children – whether they should let them go to "secular" universities and what God may have for them. I took the time to answer the one who wrote to me, and in my response to her, I even said this, "I am taking some time to deal with the issues you raised – I do this not only for you, but also for other women who will face these decisions."

I hope this week's podcast is an encouragement to you. I plan to follow up, by God's grace, to further explore this topic. Let me hear from you!

Chosen in Love - introduction Aug 04, 2024

GraceAnna joined me on this week's podcast to talk about our upcoming September season of Woman's Life at Community Bible Church. Three of my girls - GraceAnna, Maureen, and Chesed - will be coming to Beaufort individually to teach the sessions from a study they co-authored on a woman's identity in Christ titled "Chosen in Love."

I asked GraceAnna questions like "When did you first start thinking about writing the study? How did it come about? What was it like as you taught it with the girls at your church? How did you work it out with your sisters-in-law? How has God used it already in your own life and in your girls' lives?"

Women of Conviction Jul 28, 2024

This week on the podcast I exhort us to be women of conviction from God's Word. We must be women who devote ourselves fully to the Lord no matter what our age or season of life.

We must not be women who are so pre-occupied with ourselves and things that don't matter that we miss the things that do. I pray this episode helps you see the difference.

I share a lot from my heart ...

Teaching the Bible to Your Children at Home Jul 14, 2024

I love hearing from women and I so appreciate all the questions! One listener wrote and asked this:

"What would you use or did you use to teach your children the Bible at home ... did you use a curriculum, did you just read the Bible to them? What would you recommend?"

I love this question so much and I hope my answer encourages you!! There is so much more I can and will say on this topic for a future podcast! I'll grab my girls and you can hear them as well ... maybe even my grandgirls!!

This has been so fun talking to the next generation of Rare but Real girls and hearing how they came to know the Lord and what life is like for them growing up Broggi.

The Right Kind of Rest Jun 23, 2024

The Bible has a lot to say about work, God commands us to work; but God also has a lot to say about rest. So often we're so worn out and so tired as we do the things God calls us to do because we're not resting God's way. This presentation was refreshing for me, and I hope it will be refreshing for you.

AudreyKate and Evangeline Jun 16, 2024

My daughter, GraceAnna, and her children met me at my mom's farm for a quick overnight trip this past week! We packed so much in two days and one of the things I did was grab time to record a short podcast with two more of the next generation of Rare but Real girls, AudreyKate and Evangeline.

We talk about many things - growing in faith, a study they are doing this summer, what they admire about their mom, and you'll even hear a sneak peek of what's coming up at Woman's Life this fall!

Hope you enjoy!

Walking in Forgiveness Pt. 4 May 26, 2024

Maureen joins me on this week's podcast as we wrap up our short series on walking in forgiveness. She has asked me what I thought about addressing it from the standpoint of forgiving ourselves. This is so important because so many of us struggle with dealing with our own sin before the Lord, and we often beat ourselves up continually about our past sins – especially when we have a limited understanding of Christ, death, burial, and resurrection. And when I say limited, I mean, we understand it, and we know we are saved - we know God has forgiven all our sins past, present, and future. We know there's nothing we can do to earn God's acceptance– yet, even with this knowledge, we can become stagnant about the freedom in forgiveness. We know we've been forgiven, but we struggle sometimes in our experience. There are reasons for this - one of them being that Satan is the accuser of the brethren and he loves to condemn us for our past sins. Sometimes we're doing just fine and then suddenly we feel condemned all over again.

This is not God's way. He wants us to deal with our sins honestly, so that we can walk in forgiveness and experience His love and grace.

Walking in Forgiveness May 05, 2024

I get asked a lot about forgiveness and letting go of hurt. How do you forgive when someone has not asked for forgiveness? How do you forgive if someone doesn't even know the pain they inflicted? Do you just forget about it? Do you avoid people?

What does the Bible say about forgiveness and bitterness? How does an unforgiving heart affect us?

This week's podcast is the first in a short series dealing with this topic. In the next few weeks, I will ask my girls to join me and get their wisdom concerning forgiveness in relationships.

Summary of the Song Apr 28, 2024

Epilogue

"Put me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is a strong as death, jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the Lord. Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, it would be utterly despised."

God's love is as strong as death and that kind of love is a gift from Him.

The Song Chapter 8 - And They Lived Happily Ever After Apr 21, 2024

The only way a couple can truly live "happily ever after" is if they live their lives in obedience to the Lord.

The bride has learned her loyalty is to her husband, and she wants everyone to know. She wants the world to know there is no way any other man can get to her, can steal her heart, and steal her affections. She stands with her husband, no matter what. She belongs to him and him only.

And isn't that the way it's supposed to be in a believers's life? Loyal to the Lord. The world cannot get to her to steal her heart or her affections. A believing woman stands with Christ, no matter what - she belongs to Him and Him only.

The Song - Chapter 7 - The Second Honeymoon Apr 14, 2024

Though weddings are beautiful, they are not nearly as beautiful as a marriage that has stood the test of time and commitment. Real beauty emerges after some heartache. Real beauty is when a couple is still dancing after 25, 35, 45, 65 years together. Real beauty emerges when they are forgiving of each other's sins, and when they don't see ugly, even if they've lived with ugly for years. When a husband and wife are still meeting at their own personal altar, still taking pictures with their heritage, and finally so sad when death separates them in this life. That's real beauty and we learn all about this kind of beauty in this week's podcast.

The Song Chapter 5 - Where Did Their Love Go? Mar 31, 2024

When I taught this chapter, I titled it "Where Did Their Love Go?" Their love really didn't go anywhere - it's just that the bride allowed it to fade. Like her, sometimes we allow our love to fade. We drift from the one we love. We sometimes wander, we sometimes forget, and even sometimes don't want to be bothered with the one whom we love the most.

We also learned that one of the best things we can do when this happens is to rehearse all the reasons we loved in the first place. We also learned that our love sometimes fades for the Lord! The One who saved us! But when He saved us, we became His friends. Jesus, what a friend of sinners!

I trust this week's podcast will encourage you.

Bustling Family Life Feb 25, 2024

I'm taking a break from airing the Song of Songs and actually it's a good time because we've reached the halfway point of the book. This week, I was joined on the podcast by my daughter-in-law, Maureen, and we talked about all things family! We talked about what it's like in the middle years of raising a family with one getting ready to graduate from high school and the effect that has on parents and siblings. And in the middle of it, we talked about prioritizing time with the Lord and time with your husband. Our conversation was so fun and I hope it will be an encouragement to you.

The Song - Chapter 2 Feb 05, 2024

Great godly men and women are both rare finds. Yet God shares the words of the Shulamite: "Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men."

And really, this is the mirror of Proverbs 31:10, "An excellent wife, who can find?"

In our world today, it can seem there's a shortage of both. However, in every generation, God raises up great godly young men and women. This week's podcast, covers chapter 2 of the Song. I trust it will be of encouragement to you.

The Song - Chapter 1 Jan 28, 2024

The Song is like reading a young man's romantic journal. He is writing about and chronicling his heart for his bride. God teaches us so much through this book. The bigger picture is God's relationship with His bride. This week's podcast covers the first chapter.

The Song - Introduction Jan 21, 2024

God's plan is good. His rules and ways are good. Romantic love between a man and a woman is good the way God planned it. God shares with us from His book the first human love story. He performed the first wedding ceremony , and then throughout Scripture, God unveils so much more about love and marriage and baby carriages as the pages of His Word are turned. And then He gives us the Song of Songs. Such a beautiful book and a reminder of God's heart. In this week's podcast, I introduce the book. I trust it will encourage you.

When the Heart is Sad Jan 10, 2024

God wants to use every hurt and sorrow for His great glory and our great good. Sometimes our pain may go on for a long time. In fact, sometimes it goes on for a lifetime but because this world is not our home, it will not go on forever. And through it all, God promises: "And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, Who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you." Oh my, how He takes care of us.

Obey What You Know Dec 20, 2023

At some point in my Christian life, I began using the phrase "obey what you know." It came from this verse in John's Gospel: John 14:21 says "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

Obedience to Christ doesn't save us, but it is certainly a mark of salvation. If we love Him, we will obey Him. That's what He says. We don't know everything, but we know some things, and if we obey what we know and keep learning His Word, He reveals more of Himself to us. That is amazing. I talk about my journey learning this principle in this week's podcast.

All Things Women Dec 04, 2023

It was a great time with GraceAnna while Grant was in seminary and a part of CBMW (Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood). We talked about all kinds of things - from being a pastor's wife to women's ministry in the church to raising children in the home to using your gifts in the body of Christ to submitting to your husband to being single. I pray this will encourage you!!

I encourage you to give CBMW a follow!

Thanksgiving and Baby Shower Nov 27, 2023

Grateful to have had all of my family here for Thanksgiving. It was such a bountiful time together around our table AND we Broggi women also squeezed in hosting a family/close friends baby shower for Marilyn! She and Jameson are expecting their first child, a little girl, in January. My girls and grandgirls had so much fun decorating and showering love on their sister-in-law/aunt. On this week's podcast, I share some thoughts from my heart as I have been reflecting on the last few days in the Broggi home.

Psalm 16:7

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

A Vision for Motherhood - Session 3 Nov 20, 2023

A Biblical Vision for Discipleship

In this session, GraceAnna helps women to see that mothering is discipleship and is part of a greater unseen reality of building God’s Kingdom. She shares three truths from God’s Word that women in all seasons of mothering can cling to.

A Vision for Motherhood - Session 2 Nov 12, 2023

A Biblical Vision for Children

The world often views children as burdens, but God’s Word unequivocally states that children are blessings. In this session, GraceAnna shares what the Scripture teaches regarding children and also delves into the physical and spiritual blessings that children bring to a family.

A Vision For Motherhood - Session 1 Nov 05, 2023

A Biblical Vision for Marriage

In this first session, GraceAnna introduces the need for a biblical vision for all of life, including motherhood. She takes women to the Scriptures to see why marriage is the foundation of motherhood.

A Vision For Motherhood Introduction Oct 29, 2023

In this episode, GraceAnna shares why she wrote her Bible Study, A Vision for Motherhood. We also talk about the importance of discipleship and mentoring within the local church. No matter the age or stage or season of life women are in - whether married, single, or whether they have children or not - all women need a biblical vision for motherhood. We trust you will be encouraged!

Hard Things Oct 22, 2023

God calls us to walk through hard things. Sometimes those hard things show up in ways we don't expect. In this podcast, Maureen, busy wife and mom, shares how she deals daily with the intrusion and progression of multiple sclerosis in her life. You'll be encouraged as you hear how she chooses to trust God with the challenges it brings.

Perfect Peace Oct 16, 2023

Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."

In this week's podcast, I share some simple truths that have helped me keep my mind on the Lord. Hope it encourages you.

Changes Oct 09, 2023

From transitioning your children into fall, conquering whining, and handling mealtime, Chesed and I discussed a wide range of topics!

Unless the Lord Builds the House Oct 01, 2023

Wise women want to build their homes. But we never arrive. We never have it all figured out. We can never build, watch, sleep, rest, or do anything without the Lord. That is - anything of substance. This week on the podcast, we're going to look at Psalm 127 and 128. In these two passages, we are reminded of God's providential care over us. He is sovereign. Our work is useless unless God works. No matter how hard we build our homes, how much care we take, how much we worry, we cannot control our homes. Now, God wants us to build our homes. He wants us to watch over our homes and He wants us to be industrious and not lazy. I trust this week's podcast will encourage you.

Wise Women Build Sep 24, 2023

The Scripture tells us, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”

Proverbs 7 Sep 18, 2023

When older Christian women are spiritually strong, when they are wise, when they model godliness in both their behavior and in their dress, they become great role models for the young women. In today’s podcast, we take a look at the Rebekah, Tamar, the foolish woman of Proverbs 7, and the women of Judah. Each of us must decide if we are going to be wise or foolish.

Summer to Fall Sep 10, 2023

Transitioning from the lazy hazy crazy days of summer to the structure of fall as children begin schooling - that’s the conversation with GraceAnna for this week’s podcast! Stay tuned for episodes with Maureen and Chesed!

Proverbs 9 Sep 04, 2023

Wisdom seems to be underrated and under-appreciated today. It used to be that foolishness was reserved, for the most part, to the young and immature. They would grow out of it as the older and wiser instructed and taught them. But today, it seems foolishness reigns, yet God tells us to get wisdom.

Barbie Thoughts Aug 27, 2023

I keep getting asked about the Barbie movie. In this podcast, I share my thoughts.

The Role of Older Women Aug 20, 2023

Thoughts on my birthday.

Reaching Children For Christ Aug 06, 2023

Chesed joins me for a fun podcast talking about reaching children for Christ through Vacation Bible School. Their church doesn’t have a building but God gave Jeremy and Chesed a vision for putting together a Vacation Bible School anyway. With the help and leadership from their church, God has blessed it now for several years.

Losing Jane pt. 2 Jul 30, 2023

Maureen joins me for part two of losing Jane. We talked about birthdays, holidays, and Jane's heaven anniversary. Also, Maureen shared how God has brought joy and laughter into their lives amid so much sorrow and loss.

Losing Jane pt. 1 Jul 23, 2023

July 24, 2023 marks the seventh year without our little granddaughter, Jane. God called her home when was 21 months old.

Jane’s mama, Maureen, is here with me to talk about her and our son’s (Jordan) painful time of the unexpected and sudden loss of Jane. She shares how God carried them through the fog and continues to carry them …

Birthing Babies Jul 16, 2023

On this week’s podcast, I grabbed some time with my daughter, who just had a baby! She shares how scary it turned out to be, and walks us through how she and her husband trusted the Lord through the journey. As always, we trust you will be encouraged as you give it a listen.

Psalm 8 Jul 09, 2023

When I teach Psalm 8 to children, I ask if they have a baby brother or sister. Then I ask if they ever let a newborn baby grab hold of their finger.

They all are eager to say yes, yes, yes. Then I ask , “Is it easy or difficult to get your finger out of the grasp of that little newborn baby?” They usually start laughing and say it's so hard. I tell them that even a newborn baby has some strength!

But beyond this, it is evident that little children are quick to praise the Lord. They are quick to accept the things of God when they are taught about Him. They grasp the truth of God. They freely will sing praises to Him. And think about it, what better way to hear the praises of God than to hear little children singing their little hearts out?

And when Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem on that triumphal entry - He healed the blind, He healed the lame in the temple, and there were little children who began to cry out!! (Matthew 21)

“From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.”

This and so much more in today’s podcast.

Psalm 1 Jul 02, 2023

I still remember when Psalm 1 made its first huge impact in my life.

Carl and I were newly married and in our first church together. The pastor was not preaching that day … it was a lay person. And I still remember his saying, “Open your Bibles to Psalm 1.” Then he taught it, verse by verse, and it loomed large in my life.

God reminded me that Sunday morning that there are two paths and only two paths. Two ways and only two ways. Two destinations.

And even today – it is true of those who listen to this podcast.

Psalm 91 Jun 25, 2023

Psalm 91 is so comforting. God encourages us to trust Him even in the worst of circumstances. He brings us to see Himself for Who He is - the God beyond our fears, beyond our insecurities, and even beyond the real dangers that lie before us.

I pray this episode encourages you.

Mothering Boys Jun 19, 2023

Does mothering boys change as they grow into manhood? A mom asked if we would discuss this on the podcast.

I’m so grateful God gave 4 boys to me! What a privilege to raise young men for Christ, especially in this day and age when men are so criticized and disrespected by women.

My daughter-in-law, Maureen, is married to one of my boys and they are in the throes of raising 2 teenage sons. She joined me for a fun discussion about loving, raising, mothering, and building our boys! We talked about how important it is to respect our boys as they are growing up in our homes and so much more.

Also, I taught a 4-part series for women called Building Boys. You can listen on the Search the Scriptures app or at www.communitybiblechurch.us

When It's Stressful Jun 11, 2023

Life is filled with stress and hard things. Yet, we can endure and grow stronger because of those stresses. We CAN do very hard things with God’s help. Though it is difficult to understand, He leads us into stressful times. He has a greater purpose …

Q&A With GraceAnna Jun 04, 2023

Read-aloud books, thought life, change, and one-on-one time with children. In this episode, GraceAnna joined me to answer questions from women.

Encourage Your Husband May 28, 2023

It’s easy for women to come up with a list of things they don’t like about their husbands; but my encouragement is come up with a list of things you love, appreciate, and admire about your husband. And then encourage him! Chesed joined me for a conversation on this very topic.

Biblical Love pt. 4 May 21, 2023

When we were children, we acted like children. Now that we’re grown women, are we acting like grown women? As believers, are we growing up in the Lord? Let’s ask some questions:

Are you still as immature today as you were when you were 12? Are you still as spiritually immature today as when you first became a Christian? Do the same things provoke you today that provoked you 10 years ago? Do you still gossip? Do you still hold grudges? Do you love others even when you think they are simply unloveable?

God wants us to grow up in Him. He helps us grow because He fully knows us. And one day, we will fully know Him. The more we get to know Him, the more we love others His way.

The way you love others won’t be perfect in this life – it will have flaws – but if you love God, you will grow, and you will love people no matter what.

I hope this last episode on biblical love will encourage and motivate you to love others the way He loves you.

Biblical Love pt. 3 May 15, 2023

“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.“ 1 Peter 4:8. What does this mean? How do we cover sin? And what does it mean to rejoice with the truth and how do we practically believe the best about others? I hope you will be encouraged as you listen to the third part of Biblical Love.

Biblical Love pt. 2 May 08, 2023

In this week’s episode, we continue exploring God’s love. His biblical love. We’ll see more how real love behaves - how it’s not rude, it has a big heart, it’s not bitter, and it certainly doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. So much to learn this week.

Biblical Love Apr 30, 2023

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind;” 1 Corinthians 13:4a KJV

I love this. Biblical love is patient … it is long suffering. Oh how we need supernatural love for those around us. Even though we have a God-given natural love for others, we need God’s grace to adequately express it. Our love runs raw. It grows thin in the stresses of life. It gets tired. Our love does not suffer long by itself.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY ONE WHO loves perfectly. That’s why we need Him.

Today’s podcast begins a series on how to love God’s way. Biblical Love. I trust it will encourage you.

God's Heart For The Home Apr 24, 2023

Proverbs 14:1 says “The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.”

What does a wise woman look like? What are some of the choices she makes as she sets out to build her home?

She won’t make the choices of the world. She will obey God.

God's Heart For Discipline Apr 16, 2023

We know we need to discipline our children, but so often we don’t know what it means or even how to carry it out. In His Word, God explains His heart as to why and how He disciplines His own children. There is much application for us!! In this session, we look at the Scripture as it concerns discipline, training, and practical ways to carry it out. But first, you’ll learn some principles for your own heart!!

And as always, I would love to hear from you!! And please pass along this podcast to other women whom you think would be encouraged by it. There will be one more session from Biblical Mothering and then I’ll be back with my girls to handle topics you have asked us to address!!

God's Heart For Children Apr 09, 2023

Even though we mothers possess a natural, instinctive love for our children, the Bible is very clear that we need to be taught biblical love. So often the way we love our children is wrapped up in the way we view them. This message covers a lot - and also gives you practical ways to enjoy your children when the rest of the world seems to be enduring theirs

God's Heart Beyond Our Problems Apr 03, 2023

As mothers and grandmothers, we often think our children are our biggest problems - we think they present the biggest challenges in our lives. But actually, other issues loom large and work against us. In this message, we look at four of our biggest problems - and they might surprise you. Sometimes all we need is a whole new perspective.

God's Heart in a Culture of Confusion Mar 26, 2023

Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘we will not walk in it.’” Jeremiah 6:16-17. How about you? In these next few podcasts, you will hear the messages from the Biblical Mothering conference. It is my prayer that God will use each message tremendously in your life, no matter your age or season of life.

Seasons of Hardship Mar 19, 2023

When Children Ask Mar 01, 2023

About salvation. About baptism. About taking communion. About learning to have their own quiet time. Maureen and I had a conversation about helping our children not only understand what it means to be saved, but guiding them as they learn about obedience to Christ, and how that shows up in areas like baptism, communion, and even developing their own time with the Lord. It was such an encouraging and enjoyable conversation.

A Day in the Life with GraceAnna! Feb 22, 2023

Picking up where Chesed and I left off, I had a conversation with my daughter about what her days are like as she homeschools her children.

A Day In The Life Feb 13, 2023

We were asked to do a podcast on a day in the life of a homeschool mom. It seems impossible to get everything done each day which can lead us to feel overwhelmed by the tasks before us. Chesed so wisely shared that her mom, Sharon Coppenger, told her, "God gives you enough time to do what He wants you to do each day." Such a fun conversation!

Having a Heart For Your Husband Feb 05, 2023

Today on the podcast, I share some thoughts for the New Year AFTER I share a little about our Broggi Christmas…

Biblical Mothering pt. 4 Dec 09, 2022

In Matthew 18, right after Jesus explains to His disciples how important children are, He says this: “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks!”

Each day there are more and more wicked stumbling blocks placed in front of children to keep them away from Jesus. On a recent text thread with my girls, one of my daughters-in- law said this, “Satan is coming for the kids and so many parents are clueless.”

She is so right. It’s not that parents want to be clueless, but so many of us just drift with the culture and we do not realize that as women, God first gives these little people to us and and it is so important that we take our jobs seriously, and train them up in the ways of God.

On today’s episode, you’ll hear my heart concerning some of these things. I hope you’ll take a listen and pass it along.

Biblical Mothering pt. 3 Nov 23, 2022

This episode features, my daughter-in-law, Maureen. She reminded us of Proverbs 4:23, and that became the springboard for almost everything we shared during this episode. You will be encouraged to guard your heart by being in God’s Word and shutting out the world’s noise

Biblical Mothering part 2 Nov 16, 2022

Chesed and I had a fun, unscripted discussion as I asked her about biblical mothering. Among other things, she talked about giving your children the gift of honoring authority. We took some mothering trails and it was such an insightful, example-filled conversation. And, she reminded us that unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain …

Biblical Mothering Pt. 1 Nov 08, 2022

Over the years I’ve received so many questions about mothering. Who should I listen to? Where should I get my advice? What’s the most important thing I should be teaching my children? How do I handle temper tantrums? What about spankings? What about training good habits? How do I stay consistent? And just recently, what about gentle parenting? In the next few episodes, this podcast is going to focus on biblical mothering, and how to take our cues from the Scripture rather than from all the influencers out there. This first episode is with my daughter, GraceAnna, and we tackle some of these issues. In coming episodes, you’ll hear from Chesed and Maureen as well. And if you have some things you would like to see us address on these podcasts, please send them! You can reach me over on Instagram or Facebook.

It is my deepest desire that these podcast will encourage you to work closely with the Lord in these days When so many seem to be walking far from Him.
