Movie: “Goldfinger” The 1959 Ian Fleming Novel Vs the 1964 Sean Connery FilmIan Fleming’s Goldfinger (1959) and its 1964 film adaptation featuring Sean Connery present one of James Bond’s most iconic villains, but in very different styles. The novel is a gritty Cold War spy thriller, showcasing a vulnerable Bond who relies on his wits rather than gadgets. Goldfinger’s scheme centers on a traditional gold heist from Fort Knox, with Pussy Galore leading a lesbian criminal gang, creating a darker tone. In contrast, the film, directed by Guy Hamilton, turns the st...2025-07-211h 09

The Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 46- The Struggle with Mom GuiltCan I make a confession? I hate the phrase "mom guilt"...mostly because I immediately feel guilty! This phrase "mom guilt" has gotten quite a bit of attention amongst my peers in the past few years. I really struggle with mom guilt and regret. I feel guilty about all the things I should be done that I am not with my kids and with my life! I feel guilty about feeling guilty!
The thing is though, that if we are living like we are guilty, then we are living as though what Jesus did wasn't enough. It leaves our kids...2024-02-2619 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 45- Helping Our Kids to Be Wise (Us too!) Psalm 111:10Join me on the podcast this week as we talk about what it means to be wise! I tell my girls all the time that you can be really smart but really unwise. Here's what I want you to soak in...Wisdom is a deep understanding that the world isn’t always right, but God’s ways are.
Psalm 111:10 shows us the way to wisdom. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his instructions have good insight."
There is so much to unpack in this verse!!!

Ironically, it's an area that I thought I was really good in for many years. Funny enough, I've noticed that my kids are struggling in this same area, and the Lord has been reminding me of the importance of living in His Spirit as opposed to my fleshly reactions. Although I'm constantly failing in this area, God is giving me hope through a few words he has spoken and tangible tips to live a more grace filled life in this area!

Do you need tools to help you or your child work through those feelings of being afraid? This is what we are leaning into on the podcast this week.
Fear is a common feeling, and we see that throughout scripture. However, fear has no root in God. It's the enemy's plan to get us so consumed with fear that we forget WHO GOD ACTUALLY IS.

Actually, life is a long game whether you’re a mom or not! Sometimes we find ourselves exhausted and burnt out, but there seems to be no time to actually rest! The baby won’t sleep, kids are sick, nap time gets interrupted, we lay down and then someone wakes up…motherhood is life unexpected and interrupted!
Motherhood is 100% missional. It is a laying down of our lives for our kids, but we also need rest! It seems to be a catch 22, so what do we do?

If you are anything like me, I look back over many of my so-called resolutions for the past year, and there are many that I didn't accomplish. In the past, this has led me to feelings of failure and disappointment in myself. This is NOT how God has called us to live! He cares about our goals, but He cares about His purposes and our hearts more. What if 2024 was the year that we let go of resolutions and first chose REVELATION as our first priority?

Lessons on learning to lean into faith over fear.Don't let the title of this podcast fool you. No one is asking you to give up your children. I don't believe that God would ever ask us to do that either, but today we are talking about how there was one parent in the Bible who WAS asked to give up his child and the faith it took to trust God in that moment.

I was lower than low.
The truth is that I know this won't be my last dark moment in life. It's taken me almost 4 years to wrestle with this moment, and what God taught me through it.
Funny enough, healing has come through studying the life of another mom in the Bible that had some dark moments as a mom. God CARES about our parenting journey. He hears us and sees us in our darkest moments.

It never gets crossed off completely. There is ALWAYS something to do. I have news for you...I don't think that's ever going to change, but we can change!!
The amazing part about God is that he teaches us in Genesis 1 that the rest comes in knowing we can say, "we've done enough!". Our value does not come from productivity but in WHO we belong to.

Perfectionism is a tricky beast, isn't it? In my recent journey, God has convicted me that perfectionism that isn't submitted to His throne is me living in sin.
I am so guilty of trying to do things on my own, failing, and then feeling frustrated that I failed. In reality, I am learning to acknowledge that I was meant to be weak and boast in those weaknesses so that any success in life is only because HE enabled us to...2023-09-1513 min

A messy minivan is another level! As I was uploading this episode, my daughter looked at the title and said, "Oh Mommy! You ARE the mom in the messy minivan! No offense!" Leave to kids to speak the truth!
Are you like me and do you ever look at other moms on social media or in your friend group and feel like you aren’t doing enough because you aren’t doing all

Bend an ear and take a listen...Have you ever been in a season where your home doesn’t feel peaceful? Maybe your kids are constantly fighting. Maybe the winter weather has everyone a little more snappy than usual. Maybe your spouse is stressed at work, and things just feel harder at home.
Whatever it is, GOD KNOWS and cares about what’s going on in your heart and home.
So how do we work through seasons or days when peace has been or is rocky? Today I’m going t...2023-03-2904 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 12 -When Hiding is your M.O.Come out, come out wherever you are! Are you a hider? Do you tend to hide when you are
struggling? I can tell you from firsthand experience that hiding doesn’t do anything but make us feel more
isolated. Maybe you are a hider and don’t even know it.
We are called to live differently. Today in 5 minute moments for moms, I am
going to share with you why hiding is ingrained in us and why you need to stop
hiding!

Have you seen the movie Mean Girls? It was one of my favorite movies in a different season in life!!
Today I am going to get really real with you about my inner mean girl, what she says to me, and how I am learning (note: I say LEARNING) to battle her well. Jesus came and made us IN HIS IMAGE. It's important we fight this battle so that we can teach our children to do the same. It's t...2023-03-1515 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 10 - When God Feels SilentSometimes it is really hard to trust God. Especially when you keep praying for things that seem like they would be an easy YES for God! Maybe you've lost a child, suffered miscarriage, lost a spouse or a job, and you just struggle with having faith that God is good or even listening during the hard times. Maybe He feels like He's not listening and He's gone radio silent.
In this episode, I am going to share with you a situation that changed my whole perspective on why God sometimes may be silent or no...2023-03-0813 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 9- How to Turn a Bad Day AroundHave you ever woken up just feeling sad, mad, or frustrated? Maybe a situation happened IN your day, and you just can't get out of the funk. Today in 5 Minute Moments for Moms, I share with you a few simple tools that I use to turn my day around.
As someone who has struggled with depression at different moments or seasons (hello winter!) in my life, sometimes life feels heavy and hard the days feel long. Here is a simple way to turn around your day.
TURN your environment around. Choose praise instead of despair.

You know those moments where you hope no one randomly was about to ring your doorbell. Those moments we aren't proud of as parents because we acted out of our sinfulness more than out of God's grace. I've had many moments in my parenting where I realized that I shouldn't have said "that" or used "that" tone....and usually a lot of guilt follows.
However, what I have learned is that the REPAIR is often more important that what ever was said. The way we repair with our kids when we have blown it (o...2023-03-0114 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp.7 - The Weary MamaIn these short episodes that I am calling 5 Minute Moments for Moms, I hope that you can find encouragement and hope in the middle of mamahood. Today's episode speaks to those who feel weary (and I know we all have!), and I share a very real story of how I work through the weary days that I experience as a mom.

Come join me today for a story...of my most epic mom fail to date. Ironically, it happened a year ago to the day of when this episode was published!
One of my biggest goals in starting this podcast was to let mamas and women know that we are NOT alone in our mess ups!! Perfection is unrealistic, and we will make mistakes...and grace awaits us through it all and on the other side of whatever we fell short in.

It seems that just when we get a good rhythm of spending time with God, the baby gets sick or we get sick or we travel or..."you insert your life craziness here". I had someone recently say to me, "how do you stay consistent in your time with God?'
Well, let me tell you that there is good news....good habits die hard...and I've created a habit of my time with God that keeps me coming back consistently. Am I...2023-02-1413 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 4- How to have a Quiet Time with GodHave you ever wanted to spend time with God but just need some direction on where to start or need some new and fresh ideas to connect with God? Are you a busy mom or working woman (maybe both), and you just feel frustrated because you don't have a ton of time to spend with Jesus but you want to?
Then today’s episode is for you! Today I am going to be sharing with you how I have been doing my quiet time for years now using what I call the GRACE method for journaling and time in the Bib...2023-02-0816 minThe Grace Filled Life with Margo MartinEp. 3 - What's so important about having a "Quiet Time"?One of the biggest questions I get BY FAR on my social media is about my quiet time with God. "How do you do it?" "How do you keep on doing it consistently?" "What do you study?".
While all these questions are fantastic, I think if I start there we would be missing out on the WHY of it all. The reason why I've made this a habit in my life is not because I have to but because I was CREATED to need this time(and so are you!). You see, if we don't discover the WHY of why we do...2023-02-0116 min

We feel it is time to talk about a billionaire who was acclaimed as an original thinker (he honestly was, though) and also one of Hollywood’s most prolific swordsmen.

Is patience something you never thought or even think now that you’d struggle with?
If you are anything like me, I used to think I was gifted with patience. Fast forward to 4 kids later, I’ve found patience isn’t something I can muster up on my own. Kids know how to push your buttons and somedays we just get triggered when things feel out of control.
