You’ll be encouraged to model Christlike attitude in your home, and lead your children to greater maturity in the faith. #FaithfulAndFruitful #Generations #ChristianMotherhood"

Sibling relationships are the longest we’ll have in our lives – and they shape a child’s approach to all future relationships. So how do we move from sibling rivalry to sibling peace? The ladies discuss guiding children toward humility, patience, and maturity…cultivating a daily habit of choosing love and kindness…balancing forgiveness with healthy sibling boundaries…and forging relationships that last after leaving home. You’ll be encouraged with practical strategies to more intentionally help your children live in peace with each other.

What does it look like for kids to be spiritually and emotionally healthy – and how do you guide their hearts to that goal? The ladies discuss starting kids off well when they’re young, and helping them maintain a good heading into adulthood. They talk about avoiding helicopter parenting, the danger of being happy with the status quo, and how to expand a child’s horizons so they can fail safely – plus managing emotions, motivation, and walking with kids through seasons of spiritual lethargy. At the end, Brandee shares a tool for finding the perfect Bible verse for every issue, and Megan reveals a book about intentional biblical parenting.

Are boys really made of snips and snails and puppy-dogs’ tails…and girls of sugar and spice and all that’s nice? The ladies discuss the unique challenges of raising boys and raising girls. They share their biggest surprises…how they tackled things like cooking and repairing vehicles…what it looks like to cultivate strength in boys vs girls…the hardest things for moms with parenting boys…and how to get through the teenage years. You’ll be encouraged with navigating these issues – and staying grounded in the fundamentals of parenting that don’t change across the genders if you want your kids to reflect Christ.

Modern culture does not cherish the home, but God does. In Titus 2, He commands women to be keepers of their homes. The ladies discuss how seeking to obey this command looks in their own lives.

Is it really worth having family worship or Bible time? The ladies discuss what it is, what is it not, how they do family worship in their homes, and how it has changed over the years. They talk about frequency, the various elements they include, doing it with or without dad, and how to involve kids at different ages – especially when you have littles who can’t understand much, and more advanced older children. You’ll be encouraged to persevere with this worthy but messy practice in your own home!

Is it possible to raise godly kids without feeling like you’re constantly on the edge of a breakdown? Brandee, Jessie, and Megan get honest about the daily grind of discipleship, and share the practical rhythms that have kept their homes sane. They dig into schedules and visual timers, “blanket time” for littles, and teaching kids to work before they play. They also talk candidly about repentance, restoration, and why correction should never feel like rejection.

In a world where people are divorcing in huge numbers, how can we be moving in the opposite direction? The ladies discuss the hot topic of marriage troubles, sharing the lessons each has learned in many years of marriage, especially around communication and conflict, forgiveness and reconciliation…and what does (and doesn’t) work. Discover the Biblical strategies they have learned to slowly transform messiness and grief into beauty and love – and be encouraged to reexamine marriage as an invitation to become more like Jesus.

Hospitality has a unique importance in the life of the church. The ladies discuss what they have learned, starting with the difference between hospitality and entertaining, incarnating Christ vs showing off your resources.

You’ll be encouraged to share your family’s culture in hospitality, and learn some clever tactics for upping your game…plus, get access to download the ladies’ own go-to recipes!

What does it look like for a family to actually pull together instead of pulling apart? In this episode, the ladies discuss cultivating a teamwork mindset at home.

They share how they've cultivated family unity from the toddler years through the teen years, including how to bring wandering older hearts back around.

The world, the flesh, and the devil are always trying to manufacture the “truth” that suits them; and Scripture warns that women are more easily deceived. The ladies discuss some of the lies we are especially prone to believe, like “my worth is found in what I do,” along with how to treasure up Scriptures that refute them, and other tactics for abiding in the truth when we are tempted by falsehood. You’ll be encouraged to seek firm foundations with humility and wisdom, and receive even God’s hard providences as blessings.

The ladies talk about the many ways that being a part of a local body has changed their lives. They discuss the unique value of in-person relationships for becoming true members of Christ’s body, and what you get out of showing up rather than dialing in. They also share tactics for making Sunday mornings easier with lots of kids, and how regular women can minister in the body. You’ll be encouraged to deepen your connection with your church, reflect on how awesome worship is, and care more deeply for your soul, and the souls of your kids.
