When the Holidays are Hard Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

Life can be hard, but when that hard happens during the Christmas season, the hard can feel magnified. Sometimes we just need permission to be ok with the fact that certain expectations are simply not going to be met.

Stepping back and looking at the grand scheme of things can often help us gain a little more perspective.

I hope you'll listen in, be encouraged, and when you've done that, take a few moments to soak in this sweet song!

Throwback - An Unhurried Christmas (Podcast 273) Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

)This is the final episode in the Unhurried Christmas Grace series!

We can feel so rushed in the midst of the Christmas season. But this time of year is really so much taking time. It's an invitation to wait in anticipation of a promise of a Messiah that was given so many years ago. Waiting isn't something that most of us do well, but why don't you join me for (literally) just a few minutes to ponder a few tender Christmas thoughts.

Is God Requiring More of You Now Than Ever? (Podcast 271) Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Does it feel like God is requiring more of you today than ever before?

I’m right there with you.

Maybe you are suffering through a particularly difficult trial. Maybe God is calling you to persevere in everyday life like never before.

You are not alone.

I think it’s important to know that we are not alone, but it’s even more important to know that as believers...(read the full transcript at durendawilson.com: https://www.durendawilson.com/post/is-god-requiring-more-of-you-now-than-ever)

Throwback - The Government Rest on Jesus‘ Shoulders (Podcast 270) Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

As we wrestle with the challenges we are currently experiencing, many of us are asking questions like these:

Can God rescue us from the problems we face? Can He save us from oppressive world powers? Can He break the power of our sin and help us deal with its consequences?

These are pressing questions that every generation of Christians has asked and today we are going to find out how we can steer clear of panic/despair and anger and move toward joyfully engaging in the battle (that we will win) and delighting in our obedience to Christ!

Mary‘s Mom Heart and Expectations Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

I love it when God lays encouragement on my heart to share with you in a moment when I didn't expect it.

That is what today's podcast is. I hope you'll take a few minutes to sit back and let your heart be filled!

(Note: I mention Mary's presence throughout Jesus' life. I wanted to clarify that she may not have been physically present for the resurrection and ascension, but she was alive and I'm confident had knowledge of all of it!)

Verses shared:

Luke 1: 46-56

Hebrews 12:1-3

Proverbs 3:5-8

James 2:18,26

Why the Four Hour School Day (Podcast 269) Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

Today I’m sharing with you why I wrote my new book. It’s not a marketing podcast. It’s a very short explanation of why I can’t tell you exactly HOW to homeschool your kids.

I am confident you won’t be disappointed as I share several things that you may not have ever really thought about and how knowing these things will help you homeschool more confidently.

The ultimate goal of The Four Hour School Day? To realize how doable homeschooling really is and that yes, you are in fact qualified to give your kids a full and robust education…and it doesn’t have to take all day!

Throwback - Advent, The Humble Posture of Waiting (Podcast 268) Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Throughout the holiday season, I thought it would be fun to revisit some Christmas-related topics that I’ve recorded in the past. We have had over 50K downloads in the last 30 days, so I know there are many new listeners out there, and even if you aren't a new listener and you actually remember these episodes chances are you will STILL be encouraged by hearing them again!

I have current episodes posted over these weeks as well, but I'm really trying to spend time with my family and keep things simple and unhurried through this season. I hope you are too!
