Did you know that sourdough bread is better for your gut health, lower glycemic index, and easier to digest than regular bread? Not to mention that it's made with only 3 simple ingredients - flour, water, and salt.I've officially been making sourdough bread for one year now (so I'm categorically still very much a newbie), but I quickly progressed from casual baker to making all our family's bread and baked goods using sourdough. In this episode I share about everything from the health benefit...
Americans are consuming more food additives and preservatives than ever before and our health is the worst it's ever been. As a nation, 60% of our food purchases now contain these chemical substances that are used to stretch shelf life and make our food look and taste more appealing. The ultra-processed food companies LOVE when we don't read food labels, but I know you aren't one of those people :) Tune into this conversation to learn more about specific food additives to watch out for and so...
Ultra-processed food companies are out to get your health. Why? Because their profits depend on your addiction to their products. In this two-part series on "why big food loves the death of the homemaker," I am discussing the rise in the production and valuation of big food that has directly correlated with the decline in homemaking and home cooking. This is a trend that has been happening for well over 50 years now, but has been spiking in recent decades. Ultimately we have fallen away from ...
Join me for a juicy culture chat on how ultra-processed food companies are profiting off the lack of homemaking and home cooking that is happening in the modern day. There has been a seismic cultural shift over the last century (on multiple fronts) that has led to a decline in the quality of food Americans eat on a regular basis. Fueled by a desire to work outside the home, fewer women are stepping into the role of homemaking and with strapped time, many families are relying on big food to fe...
How are we to know when to take servant action and when to embrace worshipful rest? The Bible has a lot to say about the interplay of the two and Mary and Martha, specifically, have a lot to teach us.In this episode, I deep dive into a couple scriptures that reveal Jesus' response to the worried and anxious action of Martha vs. the restful worship of Mary. While they both seemed to have positive intention, their heart posture was very different, and this impacted the way that they reacted to ...
Cutting out seed oils is all the rage these days, but is it really justified? Some health experts claim that the inflammatory impact of seed oils is to blame for many of the health issues in the U.S., as seed oil consumption has increased exponentially over the last century. Originally used to lubricate machinery and make candles, seed oils crept into our diets starting in the early 1900s and they are now found in nearly all packaged foods. As women of the Word, let's take this conundrum to G...
Big food and big pharma are hot topics in the wellness space these days, and for good reason. They have proven to simply care about profits rather than the wellbeing of us all, as seen by the staggering decline in the health of the U.S. over the last few decades. The more that big food and big pharma play a role in our daily lives, often the worse our health is. In today's episode, we are diving into the topic of natural flavors - a mysterious addition to nearly all packaged foods that doesn'...
This is a special Mother's Day episode, all about surrender. Motherhood has been a sanctifying journey for me, so I'm sharing some personal stories today and LOTS of Biblical encouragement for you, no matter where you are in life. I dive into the topic of having my tattoos removed, and what inspired that choice. I share how God has grown me through pregnancy and motherhood, and I also share an exciting announcement! These are all experiences that point me back to the theme of surrender in my ...
The world tells us that doing more and hustling harder will lead to the life of our dreams. If you just had more stuff and more significance from all your accomplishments, life would be fulfilling. But this runs counter to God's Word. While God calls us to work, He also calls us to rest. The Old Testament is full of God-given rules about keeping a Sabbath, and while we no longer function under the Levitical Law, Jesus set many beautiful examples of resting and praying to His Father. So w...

Nothing could be more antithetical to scripture than the lie of the self-help industry that "you need to find yourself." Whether coined in the terminology of finding your identity, finding your passion, finding your purpose, finding your dream career, or finding your voice, all of this narrative stands in opposition to Christ's call for us to lose our lives for His sake. Dive into this episode for scripturally-dense conversation on how to posture our hearts and live our lives different f...
Have you ever bought into the lie that finally getting the six pack, running the marathon, losing the last 10 pounds, etc. would change your life? The media and the self-help industry loves to capitalize on our physical insecurities and convince us that finally achieving our dream body will also mean achieving our dream life. FALSE.God's Word tells us that while our body is a temple (for the Holy Spirit), our heart is truly where life change begins. Tune into this episode for edifying convers...
This week holds deep significance in the Christian faith, but what does it have to do with working out? When we really dive into the Word to understand what was required of God's people in the Old Testament we gain a new appreciation for what Jesus offers us in the present day - freedom from legalism and full access to God, at all times. In turn, we have the responsibility of stewarding our physical body as the temple for the Holy Spirit. When we really pause to understand the significance of...

The self-help industry is centered on lies from the enemy. The name "self-help" alone is contradictory to what God calls us to, which is depending on Him for all things. Tune into this episode for context on how we even got into this mess (hello, Adam + Eve) and why we are so obsessed with self-help content (did you know it's a $13.4 BILLION industry in the U.S.?!).

New age spirituality is creeping into the fitness industry. From tarot cards at the front desk of barre studios, yoga classes at nearly every gym across the country, and a general openness to trying things like horoscope readings, psychics, and sound bath meditations to improve wellbeing, the industry that is meant to make us well is leading us down a path of darkness.As Christians, we must be discerning about what we open our heart to and allow into our lives. The great news is that the Holy...
