Dive into the subtle lies of the occult, as we hear the testimony of Kai Cherrie. Our sister in Christ shares about her journey to Jesus and how easy it was to believe the un-truths of tarot card readings.

In today's episode, we have so much on our mind. From the power of confession to the necessity of lament. Not to mention the looming presidential race. Join us as we talk seriously, honestly, and emotionally. But... add in lots of laughter. Notes: Skit GuysVon Amy Alexander, Nikki River, Candy Rose

In this episode we're covering for ourselves, and for our listeners, some really basic principles around government and political ideology. In today’s culture it's easy to take fiction and make it fact. Capitalism has become a dirty word. But, if we follow the logic, we can better understand what we believe and where capitalism sits between the ext…

We are excited to be back for season 3. And, to kick things off... we're changing the name of our podcast to fall in line with what Jesus is doing in our hearts and minds.

This week we have a "super cool" guest: Candace's daughter Selah. She's going to give us a teen perspective on a 12-week Christian sex education series she attended with her youth group, what it's like to have these conversations with other peers, and how it's changed her perspective on loving her friends that don't know Jesus.

In this episode we truly pull up a chair and discuss our lives. From books we're reading, to traits we carried from our beautiful mothers, and everything in between. So go ahead, pull up a chair and join our conversation!Von Amy Alexander, Nikki River, Candy Rose

Today we are going to discuss the all-encompassing topic of marriage. Since last week we shared our thoughts on God’s heart around divorce, it only makes sense to think about God’s heart for marriage. Each of us is over a decade into our journey of marriage with a lot to learn. But also, we have many lessons learned thus far. Pull up a chair, and l…

We want to tackle the topic of divorce. Today, 40-50% of marriages end in divorce. And we don’t see much of a difference between Christians and non-Christians. What does the Bible say about it, and how should we as the church care for people in this broken place? Resources: Bible Project on Jesus and Divorce…

The day after the Super Bowl, social media exploded with criticism for all kinds of things... one of them being the He Gets Us campaign that said "Jesus didn't preach hate. He washed feet." What's our hot take, and who was *actually* behind this campaign? Pull up a chair and let's discuss.Von Amy Alexander, Nikki River, Candy Rose

In this second parter, we discuss the stigma of suicide, especially in Christian communities. We talk about statistics, grief, and the realities that surround this kind of loss.

At the beginning of season two, we mentioned a tragedy that struck our community. And now we're ready to talk about it. In this episode (not for young ears), co-host Candy Rose shares with great vulnerability the tragedy that struck her home in the fall of 2023.

Host Amy has been deep-diving into Ephesians 4 and the spiritual gifts outlined by Paul. We wanted to bring her new obsession with all things Ephesians 4 to a two-part episode, in which we discuss what to do with this list, how we feel about personality tests, and if we can demystify spiritual gifts.

As moms who love Jesus and vote for freedom and life, where do we stand on the current conflict in Israel? Do we fault Israel for their part in the conflict? Do we blame the Palestinians? Or is Hamas the one that's driving all the pain and horror?Von Amy Alexander, Nikki River, Candy Rose

It's season 2, and we're BACK! To open up this season, and hit some spooky vibes, we're discussing a question that Amy's four-year-old daughter asked: does God love Satan? Since Satan is evil, can God love Satan? And since God created him, what kind of love and compassion might he have for his fallen creature?…

In our first Culture Wars episode we dove into the deep end, divulging our views and opinions on politics and culture. But, more importantly, we framed our belief that far above politics and any allegiance to America is our desire to seek first the Kingdom of God. How we jump into culture wars and to what extent is still up for debate. And we’re ex…

In honor of Father's Day, we've asked the husbands to bring their unique perspective to parenting that moms don’t always understand. Especially when it comes to parenting boys versus girls. Being a Christ-centered father is not always easy, and knowing how to parent our sons and our daughters comes with its own challenges.…

The culture wars in America have become cutthroat over the last few years. And, today they are as hot as ever. We’re entering into the Pride month of June with plenty of intense news stories to fuel division and anger on either side of the aisle. As Christians, we have to ask: what part are we supposed to play in all of this? If we’re conservative,…

You’ve probably heard that controlling your inner dialogue is important. What we think affects what we say and do, and it matters. But, what happens when the truth of what’s real around you creates beliefs and faith that don’t align with God’s future kingdom? Are we unintentionally building faith around things that are not of Jesus and putting our …

If you’re anything like us, certain seasons of the year become an all-out sprint toward insanity. Whether it’s busy work seasons, closing out the school year, or preparing for holidays… mom life is full of scheduling and remembering all the things, plus being successful at work and volunteer life. It’s just a lot. But, we are called for Sabbath. We…

Last week, we dove into the problem of evil, asking: “If we have an all-powerful, all-loving God, why does evil exist?” That conversation led us right to this question: “Then… why did God create the world if He knew we would fall?” If God always knew we would fail, why did He create us like this… why did He create us at all? Show Notes // The Probl…

In this two-part episode, we’re asking one of the harder questions: why does evil exist? How can God be all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful but still allow evil? This “problem of evil” plagues a lot of people’s minds if they’ve never taken the time to consider it. Whether you have a friend asking this question of you, or whether you’ve experi…

Today, we’re talking about disciplining our children. There are a lot of parenting styles out there these days. From gentle parenting to spanking and everything in-between, where do we land on a Biblical approach to proper parenting? What has worked for us, what hasn’t, and how can we honor God with the way we respond to our children’s behaviors? S…

In this episode, we talk about Christian gifts, and the egos that often trail behind. Within Christian culture, people are gifted with such a variety of things. Whether we’re gifted with something more public, like speaking, teaching or leading worship. Or, whether we’re gifted with more behind-the-scenes skills like prophetic prayer, pastoral care…

For most of us, legalism has an icky, loveless, judgemental undertone. We think of legalism as the opposite of freedom and the opposite of the grace and mercy Jesus embodies. But, most people wouldn’t call themselves legalistic. Even among Christians, everyone has different boundaries and lines they draw around their habits, life values, and mode o…

Depression. So many of us struggle with different levels of depression. Silently, we walk around dealing with the shame, guilt, and isolation that come with depression’s stigma. Despite the fact that it affects millions of people, many of those within the Christian church, we act like there’s a lack of faith or depth in someone’s relationships with…

It’s no secret: we started this podcast because we wanted a conservative, Bible-believing voice to be heard in a culture that cancels people for far, far less. But, we’ve had the privilege of being supported by not only conservative Christian moms, but liberal Christian moms. And, that brings up an important point: why are we so divided?! And how c…

We see it time and again in the Bible: “There shall be no gods before me,” “who is like you, oh Lord, among the gods,” “Do not follow other gods to serve or worship them,” … on and on the examples go. The idea of multiple gods was not foreign to ancient people. And yet, Christianity is a monotheistic religion… meaning we believe in one Captial-G Go…

For many women, friendships with the opposite sex are not only easier… they are more natural. Girls can be catty and competitive, but guys don’t play as many games. They’re just “easier” to be around. But as we enter into committed relationships--become engaged, get married--should these friendships change? Do we need more rules and boundaries arou…

Hearing God’s voice can be… a challenge. Knowing when to move forward or when to sit still. Discerning the BEST choice over just a good choice. Walking a God-led path for yourself, your husband, and your kids. From moving to a new house, to picking the right style of education, to the best course of discipline for a rebellious kid. How do we find w…

Living a world that does not reflect God’s Kingdom means that we are constantly trying to re-align our thoughts and beliefs with Capital “T” Truth. Whether we learned these lies from our parents, our schools, our friends, or even well-meaning churches… we all believe certain lies about ourselves. Both as people, and as women. In this episode walk t…

From kid-friendly drag shows to sexualized merchandise on the shelves of Target, it’s getting harder and harder to keep our children innocent. Our kids are fed sex-driven content in their cartoons, they’re delivered lingerie-wearing toys for their birthdays, and they’re taught about eroticism in their sex-ed class. What’s “too far” for us as Christ…

As we enter a new year and start thinking about our resolutions, goals, and hopes for 2023, we can’t help but discuss the popular idea of manifestation. New agers all over TikTok want us to believe that we can manifest anything by simply believing hard enough. But even Christians fall into similar beliefs. We hear things like “name and claim it” an…

YES, we believe porn is destructive and contrary to God's best for us. But, why are we normalizing the complete demoralization and shaming of Christian brothers and sisters? Those trapped in a porn addiction need to be met with compassion, empathy, and courage. So pull up a chair and let's discuss. >> Show Notes Statistics from Covenant Eyes Neuros…

In our culture, it’s assumed that if you have a brain, you’re a feminist. Who could possibly disagree with equal rights between men and women? But, is equality what we really want? Does “equality” mean “sameness”? And what has been the result of such a massive shift in cultural expectations? Show notes: Relatable with Allie Stuckey: Secular Feminis…

Technology has transformed our lives in a matter of decades. But, the church is barely talking about what it’s doing to our humanity. Not to mention the day-to-day struggles of keeping our children safe from the wide world of destructive ideas that can be accessed through any device. How can we be “set apart” as Holy while still maintaining a conne…

For some of us, Christmas is stressful. For some it’s sad. And for some, it’s just a flurry of parties, baking, family adventures, and soaking in every advent moment. Today we want to share our traditions, talk through the Santa debacle, and generally just chat about Christmas.Von Amy Alexander, Nikki River, Candy Rose

Regardless of your upbringing, you have probably encountered a lot of strong opinions on abortion. You probably know people who volunteer for pro-life organizations, or people who have had abortions themselves. You may be someone who has counseled pregnant women out of abortion, or you may have had an abortion yourself. The thing is: this topic is …

Using our She Reads Truth Bible study as a jumping-off point, we discuss prayer. Prayer is an opportunity for continuous and deep communication with God. It's a chance to express sorrow, to be angry, to intercede for those we love, and to listen for that still, small voice of the Spirit. For some of us, it's second nature. For others, it's a place …

We’re three loyal friends, but we have varying opinions on lots of things… one of them is modesty. Our different convictions and practices around modesty prove the beauty in God's diverse church. From a girl with "traditional" Christian values, to a Peurto Rican born beauty, to a body-shamed mama, our various upbringings and life experiences have s…

Halloween can be controversial for Christians. There's no question that as a generation, Millennial parents have become obsessed with all things fall and frightening. For ourselves and our children, how do we respond to America's version of Halloween in a way that honors God? Hear three, conservative Christian moms (who LOVE Halloween) talk about t…
