Mom to Mom Podcast

Spiritual drift doesn’t happen all at once—it’s the little things, the subtle shifts, the busyness that sneaks in and quietly pulls our hearts, and sometimes our families, away from Christ. In Episode 116 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, September invites us to take a closer look at these small but significant moments and ask the big question: how can we keep our homes anchored in God’s truth amidst the chaos of life?

We talk about recognizing the quiet signs of spiritual drift, why seemingly small compromises—like skipped prayer times or misplaced priorities—can add up, and how we can create practical routines to keep faith alive in our homes. From morning devotionals to dinner-table conversations and even tech-free evenings, we’re breaking it all down into simple, actionable steps.

What happens if spiritual drift has already taken hold? We’re sharing grace-filled ways to lovingly guide your family back to Christ without shame or discouragement.

Mama, if you’ve ever felt like your family’s faith has been slowly fading, this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: small, intentional steps can make all the difference. Let’s talk about how we can keep Christ at the center—one moment, one habit, one prayer at a time.

Let’s walk this journey together and pursue hearts and homes firmly grounded in God’s truth. 💛

🌸 Raising Daughters in Today’s Culture 🌸

✨ How can we help our girls navigate the lies of the culture while building a passion for holiness?

How do we keep hope alive when our child’s path doesn’t look like the one we envisioned? In this week’s episode, we’re opening our hearts to the struggle of loving unconditionally and holding onto faith—even when our child questions, doubts, or drifts.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

💬 How do we balance unconditional love with firm, loving boundaries?

🙏 When hope feels fragile, what promises of God do we cling to?

🤲 Practical ways to surrender our children’s journey to God, trusting His plan.

With verses like 2 Peter 3:9 and 3 John 1:4 guiding us, this episode is a reminder that while we wait, God works. Even in the waiting, we’re not alone. 🌱

And as Kate Battistelli says: “God’s dare often feels risky because it’s outside our control, but He reminds us to be patient in the waiting, knowing that the story isn’t over yet.”

As our kids grow, their questions get bigger—about faith, identity, relationships, and even tough issues like loss or why there’s suffering in the world. These questions can catch us off guard, and sometimes, it’s hard to know the “right” answer.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring ways to navigate those big questions with sincerity and faith, turning challenging conversations into moments of growth.

How do we handle it when our kids ask questions about cultural issues, family, or faith? How do we respond when they bring up topics we ourselves may struggle to answer? As moms, we may not have all the answers, but we can guide them toward truth, listening deeply and responding thoughtfully.

1 Peter 3:15 reminds us to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” This episode is about finding that hope together and creating an environment where our kids feel safe to ask and explore—even the hard questions.

Let’s grow together in these moments, making space for trust and understanding in every conversation. Join us for an honest talk about parenting through tough questions, and let’s encourage each other as we walk through it. 🌱

In a culture where the lines between right and wrong often seem blurred, our children are being bombarded with messages of “my truth” and cultural relativism. As Christian moms, it can feel overwhelming to teach our kids to stand firm in God’s absolute truth when the world says otherwise. But here’s the good news—we’re not alone in this journey!

In this episode of the Mom to Mom Podcast, Kate, September and Jamie dive deep into raising kids in an age of cultural relativism. We explore how to equip ourselves and our children with biblical values that don’t change with the shifting culture. We talk about practical tips for every age group, how to address tough issues like gender and identity, and how to have those important conversations that will strengthen your child’s faith in the face of opposing beliefs.

It’s not easy, but it’s crucial. Romans 12:2 reminds us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds and not to conform to the patterns of this world. We’ll show you how to apply this truth as you guide your kids to discern what is good, acceptable, and perfect in God’s eyes.

Tune in to be encouraged and equipped as you to raise strong, faith-filled kids in a culture that often rejects truth. Let’s pass on the torch of faith to the next generation!

Moms, we’ve all been there—the moments when we want to step in, fix everything, and control every detail of our kids’ lives. But what happens when we can’t? When their paths take unexpected turns, or their choices challenge our expectations?

In Episode 109 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, we’re diving into Embracing the Unexpected in Parenting. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about what it really means to let go of the need to control every aspect of our children’s journeys—even when they make decisions we don’t agree with. It’s about learning to surrender in all seasons of their lives, trusting that God is at work, even when the path looks different than we imagined.

From trusting God’s plan to finding peace in the challenges we never saw coming, we’ll share practical tips on how to release control and allow God to work through the unexpected. 1 Peter 5:7

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this episode is for you. We explore how to support our children with love and faith, without micromanaging their lives—because surrendering them to God’s care can lead to a deeper peace for us, too.

Tune in for real talk, encouragement, and a reminder that we don’t have to have all the answers to trust in God’s perfect plan.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7

We are living in a world of quick fixes and instant everything.  In just a few clicks, we can have nearly anything we want in less than 24 hours. We want it fast, and we want it now. 

But God isn’t in a hurry, and as we grow in our relationship with Him, we have to learn to trust His timing in everything, no matter how long it takes.

As moms, how do we resist the urge to expect immediate results in both our spiritual lives and with parenting our kids?

How do we model it, teaching them to trust God’s timing?

Our culture is speeding up, but He’s calling us to slow down and do the opposite of what the world is doing.

So, how do we learn to slow down and trust His timing in a world shouting at us to hurry up? 

Join Kate, September, and Jamie as we share what has helped us develop spiritual patience and endurance for the long haul of parenting.

"Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage. Wait for the Lord." -Psalm 27:14
