2023-06-0554 minTrust Exercise023: But... do our beliefs have power?You’ve probably heard that controlling your inner dialogue is important. What we think affects what we say and do, and it matters. But, what happens when the truth of what’s real around you creates beliefs and faith that don’t align with God’s future kingdom? Are we unintentionally building faith around things that are not of Jesus and putting our trust in realities that only create more brokenness?// Get a free printable of the Praying Mother's Mantra!FacebookInstagram// Show Notes:Mark 16:14-18Matthew 10:16Philippians 4:6-8Study on women wi...
2023-05-2937 minTrust Exercise022: But... why is rest so hard?If you’re anything like us, certain seasons of the year become an all-out sprint toward insanity. Whether it’s busy work seasons, closing out the school year, or preparing for holidays… mom life is full of scheduling and remembering all the things, plus being successful at work and volunteer life. It’s just a lot. But, we are called for Sabbath. We are called to create margin and time for rest. How does this fit? What does it mean to be obedient? And where the HECK does the time go?!
2023-05-1540 minTrust Exercise021: But... why is there evil? | Part 2Last week, we dove into the problem of evil, asking: “If we have an all-powerful, all-loving God, why does evil exist?” That conversation led us right to this question: “Then… why did God create the world if He knew we would fall?” If God always knew we would fail, why did He create us like this… why did He create us at all?Show Notes //The Problem of Evil VideosThe Logic ArgumentThe Probability ArgumentBible Project: Firstborn...
2023-05-0139 minTrust Exercise020: But... why is there evil? | Part 1In this two-part episode, we’re asking one of the harder questions: why does evil exist? How can God be all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful but still allow evil? This “problem of evil” plagues a lot of people’s minds if they’ve never taken the time to consider it. Whether you have a friend asking this question of you, or whether you’ve experienced something deeply painful that has you doubting God, it’s an understandable and pertinent question. If God loved us he wouldn’t allow evil… right?Show Notes //The Problem of Evil Videos

2023-04-2237 minTrust Exercise019: But... is spanking abuse?Today, we’re talking about disciplining our children. There are a lot of parenting styles out there these days. From gentle parenting to spanking and everything in-between, where do we land on a Biblical approach to proper parenting? What has worked for us, what hasn’t, and how can we honor God with the way we respond to our children’s behaviors?Show Notes//Parenting with Love and Logic
2023-04-1743 minTrust Exercise018: But... is it ok to take pride in our giftings?In this episode, we talk about Christian gifts, and the egos that often trail behind. Within Christian culture, people are gifted with such a variety of things. Whether we’re gifted with something more public, like speaking, teaching or leading worship. Or, whether we’re gifted with more behind-the-scenes skills like prophetic prayer, pastoral care, catalytic vision, feeding a group of 50, or setting up lights in the production booth. In church, it can feel like you have to have something to offer. It’s easy to build your worth and pride around what you’re bringing to the table. How do w...
2023-04-1039 minTrust Exercise017: But... what's considered legalistic?For most of us, legalism has an icky, loveless, judgemental undertone. We think of legalism as the opposite of freedom and the opposite of the grace and mercy Jesus embodies. But, most people wouldn’t call themselves legalistic. Even among Christians, everyone has different boundaries and lines they draw around their habits, life values, and mode of operating. So, how do we define legalism so that we don’t become modern-day Pharisees? And, why do we mention “legalism” so much on this podcast?!// Show NotesDave Lomas: Rule of LifeDavid Bennett: Lamp Unto Your Feet
2023-04-0341 minTrust Exercise016: But... is depression a sin?Depression. So many of us struggle with different levels of depression. Silently, we walk around dealing with the shame, guilt, and isolation that come with depression’s stigma. Despite the fact that it affects millions of people, many of those within the Christian church, we act like there’s a lack of faith or depth in someone’s relationships with God if they’re struggling with the deep sadness that comes with this kind of condition. Is it a sin? Is it a lack of faith? What do we need to consider when approaching this topic, and those that struggle...
2023-03-2739 minTrust Exercise015: But... division is not the goal.It’s no secret: we started this podcast because we wanted a conservative, Bible-believing voice to be heard in a culture that cancels people for far, far less. But, we’ve had the privilege of being supported by not only conservative Christian moms, but liberal Christian moms. And, that brings up an important point: why are we so divided?! And how can we model great conversations between diverse opinions while also having our values heard loud and clear?Show Notes //Adam and Eve as necessary oppositesSoviet nature of American culture + paying a price for speaking up now...
2023-03-2036 minTrust Exercise014 - But... is it God or gods?We see it time and again in the Bible: “There shall be no gods before me,” “who is like you, oh Lord, among the gods,” “Do not follow other gods to serve or worship them,” … on and on the examples go. The idea of multiple gods was not foreign to ancient people. And yet, Christianity is a monotheistic religion… meaning we believe in one Captial-G God. So, what’s the discrepancy here? And what does the Bible actually say?Show Notes //The Case Against the Sexual RevolutionThe Bible Project God VideoThe Bible Projec...
2023-03-0641 minTrust Exercise013 - But... friendships with the opposite sex?For many women, friendships with the opposite sex are not only easier… they are more natural. Girls can be catty and competitive, but guys don’t play as many games. They’re just “easier” to be around. But as we enter into committed relationships--become engaged, get married--should these friendships change? Do we need more rules and boundaries around our relationships? How can we best honor our husbands and our friendships?// Show Notes:The Case Against the Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry
2023-02-2745 minTrust Exercise012 - But... hearing God's voice is hard.Hearing God’s voice can be… a challenge. Knowing when to move forward or when to sit still. Discerning the BEST choice over just a good choice. Walking a God-led path for yourself, your husband, and your kids. From moving to a new house, to picking the right style of education, to the best course of discipline for a rebellious kid. How do we find ways to listen, and how do we feel God speaks to us?
2023-02-0244 minTrust Exercise011 - But... we lie to ourselves.Living a world that does not reflect God’s Kingdom means that we are constantly trying to re-align our thoughts and beliefs with Capital “T” Truth. Whether we learned these lies from our parents, our schools, our friends, or even well-meaning churches… we all believe certain lies about ourselves. Both as people, and as women. In this episode walk through some of those lies, reframe our beliefs, and help each other understand what it means to be women of God.
2023-01-1944 minTrust Exercise010 - But... we're talking about sexualization and LGBTQ+From kid-friendly drag shows to sexualized merchandise on the shelves of Target, it’s getting harder and harder to keep our children innocent. Our kids are fed sex-driven content in their cartoons, they’re delivered lingerie-wearing toys for their birthdays, and they’re taught about eroticism in their sex-ed class. What’s “too far” for us as Christ-centered moms, why do LGBTQ+ issues wrap themselves into this conversation, and where are we choosing to draw the line?>> Show NotesLOL dollsSteven UniverseJordan Peterson on Trans PsychologyAllie Stuckey on Planned Parenthood

Manifestation is not Biblical.As we enter a new year and start thinking about our resolutions, goals, and hopes for 2023, we can’t help but discuss the popular idea of manifestation. New agers all over TikTok want us to believe that we can manifest anything by simply believing hard enough. But even Christians fall into similar beliefs. We hear things like “name and claim it” and wonder if that’s really as Biblical as we think. Dive into scripture with us as we discuss manifestation, prosperity gospel, and our spiritual authority as believers.>> Show Notes:History of ManifestationExcellent Biblical...
