In this special Behind the Mic episode, Trixie is joined by her friend Stephanie Rome—an Army wife, homeschooling mom of four, and a woman whose life has been shaped by prayer. This isn’t an interview. It’s an honest, real-life conversation—one that might get interrupted, because motherhood is happening in real time. Stephanie shares how prayer became a culture in her home (starting with her parents), how it became her “default” through the lonely and stretching seasons of military life, and how she learned to pray not only for miracles… but also for peace in the storm. You’ll also hear practical Wonder Mama Wisdom—simple ways to weave prayer into everyday rhythms like washing dishes, folding laundry, and baking bread—and a special invitation to join our WonderMom Challenge this March: one month of intentional daily prayer over the children God has entrusted to us.

Before you were born, there was a time when you did not exist. Every person, every animal, every star, and every mountain has a beginning. But not God. In this Rooted Mondays episode, we review what Genesis means and who wrote it, then explore the powerful truth of Genesis 1:1 — that God created all things from nothing. Families will learn what it means for God to be eternal and why that truth should lead us to worship, trust, and live for Him. We will also practice this month's memory verse. Rooted Mondays helps families start the week anchored in God’s Word. We start with God’s Word—because it’s our foundation for understanding the world around us.

On a recent Rooted Mondays episode, we talked about Genesis 1:1 and how God created both the seen and the unseen. Today, we explore one of those unseen wonders. How can something smaller than a grain of sand survive: • Freezing temperatures • Intense heat • Crushing ocean pressure • Strong radiation • Even the vacuum of outer space The answer lies in something scientists call cryptobiosis — what we’re calling “pause mode.” In this kid-friendly science deep-dive, we learn: • What metabolism is • How cells protect DNA • What happens inside the body during extreme survival • Why this tiny creature reflects incredible design This episode blends science, wonder, and faith as we explore how even the smallest parts of creation reveal wisdom and purpose. Psalm 104:24 — “O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all.” Stay curious. Keep exploring. And praise the Maker in every way.

Start the week anchored in God’s Word with Rooted Mondays. In this short family devotional, we open the very first book of the Bible—Genesis—and read the very first verse: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Together, we explore what Genesis means, why the Bible is trustworthy, and how God’s power in creation leads us to worship, trust, and live for Him. Families will also be challenged to memorize Revelation 4:11, reflect through a simple wonder question, and take on that shared family challenge to help God’s Word take root in everyday life. Rooted Mondays is a weekly devotional rhythm on the Wonderkeepers podcast—designed to help kids and parents grow strong roots of faith together.

What happens when the year begins… and everything falls apart? In this Behind the Mic episode, Trixie shares the real-life story of how a beautiful New Year’s Eve quickly turned into a month of sickness, laundry piles, missed routines, and interrupted plans. From praying for our husbands to learning why the very first prayer card was actually for us as wives, this episode is an honest reflection on what January taught her about marriage, motherhood, health, and grace. If your year didn’t start the way you imagined, this conversation will remind you: you are not failing — you are living real life. And God is faithful in the middle of it. This is Behind the Mic — a quiet space for WonderMoms tending hearts at home.

Hey Wonderlings! 👋 We just popped in from the Wonderkeepers studio to say hello—and yes… Happy New Year! (Even if it’s a little late 😄) After taking a January break, we’re finally back and ready to start an exciting new year of wonder together. In this cheerful studio pop-in, we share what’s new at Wonderkeepers, including a brand-new family devotional rhythm, a cozy surprise coming for nighttime, and some BIG adventures ahead. Get ready for new main episodes exploring each day of Creation Week, exciting WonderChats with amazing guests, and plenty of fun along the way. Before we go, we play a silly round of True or Woo!—so be ready to shout along! Thanks for being part of the Wonderkeepers family. We’re so glad you’re here.

In this Behind the Mic episode, Trixie steps away from the stories and into real life—sharing honest reflections on marriage, prayer, and the messy, behind-the-scenes moments of family life. Inspired by Proverbs 31 and the simple yet challenging call to “do him good and not harm,” this episode explores what it looks like to choose faithfulness over perfection and intentional prayer over guilt or pressure. Trixie opens up about the everyday chaos of motherhood, the beauty of showing up imperfectly, and why praying for our husbands—one day, one prayer at a time—can quietly transform our homes. This episode also introduces The Wonderkeepers Mom Challenge, a January prayer challenge inviting moms to intentionally lift up their husbands in prayer together. This isn’t about having it all together. It’s about choosing good—one day at a time—right in the middle of real, unfinished, behind-the-mic family life. 📄 Join the Prayer Challenge: Download the prayer cards here: 👉 https://drive.google.com/file/d/19yxjbc_YQHm6-OBZd2O_1ZhFxizFE2RS/view?usp=sharing
