What if caring for your family’s health started with asking better questions? As moms, we spend so much of motherhood caring 4 everyone else that it can be easy to put our own health on the back burner. And for anxious moms, the amount of health information out there can feel overwhelming. Today on Faith For Anxious Moms, I’m joined by Dr. Carly Egoavil, a licensed chiropractor & functional medicine practitioner w/ more than 15 years of clinical experience, and Dr. Rachel Marynowski, a licensed naturopathic physician w/ more than 20 years in healthcare. Together, they are Kale Blossom—two moms and physicians who have created an online community and are a huge resource for moms who want to become more informed about their health and the health of their children. In this conversation, we talk about what a functional approach to health means, how it differs from conventional medical care, from immunization schedules to recent study findings on Tylenol, we talk about how moms can become informed advocates for themselves and their families. And because motherhood doesn’t leave much time for long conversations, we finish with a rapid-fire round covering everything from organic food, cookware, walking after meals, sauna vs. cold plunge, & where moms can start supporting their health today. Whether you’re a SAHM, a working mom, or somewhere in between, caring for yourself is part of caring for the family God has entrusted to you. And just as we turn to faith, Scripture, a Bible verse, or a Bible study when we need wisdom for the challenges of motherhood, we can also give ourselves permission to ask questions and learn about our health.

Every mom needs advice from time to time. Whether you're navigating parenting decisions, marriage struggles, homeschooling, friendships, anxiety, or simply trying to discern God's will, the question isn't whether you'll seek counsel—it's who you'll listen to. In this episode of Faith for Anxious Moms, Lynn explores the story of King Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 10-12 and the costly consequences of rejecting wise counsel. Rehoboam sought advice from two groups of people, but ultimately chose the voices that affirmed what he wanted to hear rather than what he needed to hear. As Christian moms, we're surrounded by opinions—from social media, parenting experts, friends, family members, and online communities. But how do we know which voices are helping us move closer to God's wisdom? Together we'll discuss: ✔ Why seeking godly counsel is a biblical principle✔ The difference between advice that feels comfortable and advice that is wise✔ Titus 2 and the importance of older women mentoring younger women✔ How Proverbs 15:22 and Proverbs 3:5-6 guide our decision-making✔ Why God's Word must remain our ultimate source of truth✔ Practical encouragement for moms who feel like they don't have a trusted mentor We'll also talk about the beauty of studying the Old Testament and why these ancient stories continue to provide wisdom for modern motherhood. If you're looking for biblical wisdom, encouragement, Bible study tools, and practical help for growing your faith while raising godly kids, this episode is for you.

Can life be hard and good at the same time? After Mother’s Day, I found myself reflecting on the tension so many moms feel every day — joy mixed with grief, gratitude mixed with exhaustion, peace mixed with uncertainty and anxiety mixed with desire for wisdom in motherhood. In this episode, we talk about the “duality” of difficult seasons and what Scripture shows us about walking through hardship with faith. Through Psalms 40, 61, and 62, we look at David’s life during some of his darkest moments — betrayal, loss, fear, and uncertainty — yet we also see his continual praise and trust in God. So many great Bible verses for anxiety seen in David's emotionally charged Psalms. What stood out to me this time reading the Psalms was this: David understood that God was doing something bigger than his immediate struggle. In my quiet time, God used Psalms 40, 61, and 62 to show me that hard seasons can still point us — and others — to the hope and faithfulness of a Sovereign God. What if our struggles are not only shaping us… but also pointing others toward Christ? In this episode we discuss: Why two things can be true at once The danger of staying stuck in complaint How gratitude changes our perspective Why your children are watching your faith How to share God’s goodness even in difficult seasonsBut more importantly, how responses to hard times potentially affects othersLife is hard. But God is still faithful. And our hope in Him outweighs it all. ENJOY friends and HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

In today’s episode of Faith For Anxious Moms Podcast, we’re talking about how your daily rhythms of intake, what you consume, and—most importantly—how what you believe about God directly impact your mindset, perspective and decisions in front of you. Because the truth is: your thoughts don’t just happen… they’re formed. Through a personal story about how a simple habit shift affected my mindset, and a powerful look at David’s life in 1 Samuel and Psalm 59, we unpack how David—while being hunted and hiding—anchored his thoughts in what he knew to be true about God: God is our strength, our refuge, and full of steadfast love. And that same truth is available to you today. Friend, you don’t have to stay stuck in negative thinking. God's word shows us his strength and provides tons of examples. You can experience peace, clarity, and a renewed mind through spending time with God and being rooted in His Word. Whether you are a working mom, SAHM, empty nester or in the thick of school aged kids just trying to stay sane while trying to point your kids to Christ, I believe Scripture is the answer to our daily perspective.

Choosing where to leave your little one for preschool, a Mother’s Day Out program, or even a church nursery can feel overwhelming for moms. What should you actually be looking for?Safety? Curriculum? Staff? Faith influence? In this episode of the Faith for Anxious Moms Podcast, I sit down with my former boss and longtime early childhood director, Michelle Pinkston, who has served for nearly 25 years and is the Global Director of the Child Learning Center at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. (And BTW their core Bible verse is noted in the show notes.) After spending 14 years working in early childhood education myself—from small preschools to Title 1 public programs and large church Mother’s Day Out programs—we’re sharing what moms should really consider when choosing a preschool or early childcare environment.

And as moms—and now grandmothers—we also talk about how our perspective has changed watching our own daughters choose childcare for their babies. Whether you're a SAHM, a work-from-home mom, or just need a little time for yourself, and find yourself navigating preschool decisions, Mother’s Day Out programs, or childcare options, this episode will give you practical wisdom and faith-filled encouragement for raising kids with intention.

Have you ever noticed you can tell who someone’s been hanging out with—by how they act, look, carry themselves or speak? There’s a sweet granny on TikTok who always ends her videos by saying the same thing… And this week, that phrase hit different. This week, we’re looking at another person that reflected who and how they spent time with someone in particular. As Christ following moms, we want to raise godly children who come to know and love God. We can see behaviors change in our kids, but do we look at ourselves for what we reflect to them? Whether we are SAHMs, WFHMs, moms of littles or bigs, empty nesters or moms who struggle with anxious thoughts in parenting, who we reflect to our kids has a huge, and more important, an eternal, impact. This is a good one…so rich I can’t wait to share… SHINE ON... ENJOY friends and HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
