Winter can feel long, heavy, and exhausting—especially when you’re home with kids and the days feel dark and restless. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about the winter blues and how to find God’s presence in a season that feels quiet, cold, or overwhelming.

You’ll hear encouragement, Scripture, and simple prayers you can pray over your home when:

• Your space feels dark or heavy

• Cabin fever and chaos are stealing your peace

• You’re stuck in a waiting season and feeling discouraged

We’ll focus on praying for hope, peace, and strength, using Bible verses you can speak over your family during winter—and any season that feels barren or hard.

Grab your tea, turn up the volume, and be reminded: God is still good, even in the cold.

Hey Mama—I'm so glad you're here.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about praying over your family—your children, your marriage, and your home—and why this matters so deeply in motherhood.

So often, we know we should pray… but we’re not always sure what to pray, how to pray, or why it actually makes a difference. In this episode, we shift that perspective and talk about prayer through the lens of intercession—standing in the gap for your family as a mom.

Because once you understand why you’re praying, it completely changes how you pray.

As moms, we know our children intimately—their fears, their personalities, their struggles, and their gifts. That gives us a unique and powerful role in prayer. After we’ve done all we can with our two hands—comforting, caring, protecting—prayer is where our work continues.

Mama, you are called to pray. Over your children. Over your marriage. Over your home.

You can only do so much with your hands—but prayer places the rest in God’s very capable hands.

You’ve got this.

Mama, if you've ever lit the Advent candles with your kids just because it’s tradition—but deep down wondered, “Wait… what do these actually represent?”—this episode is for you.

Whether you're halfway through Advent or starting late (God doesn’t mind!), today we’re walking through the meaning behind each candle, why the colors matter, the scriptures connected to them, and simple ways to explain it all to your kids. This tradition is rich, intentional, and such a beautiful way to prepare your family’s hearts for Christmas.

Whether your kids are tiny or getting older, Advent is such a powerful way to slow down, point them to Jesus, and build meaningful family rhythms—without anything fancy or complicated. God cares about your heart, not your setup.

Mama, let’s talk about something that can completely shift the atmosphere of your home—the presence of God.

We know from Scripture that God is always with us… but if we’re honest, in the noise, chaos, and exhaustion of family life, it’s easy to forget He’s right there in the middle of it.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why the presence of God matters in your everyday space—not just on Sunday mornings, but in your kitchen, your living room, your kids’ bedrooms, and all the messy, noisy, imperfect moments in between.

You don’t need a quiet house, perfectly behaved kids, or a Pinterest-worthy routine for your home to be filled with God’s peace. His presence meets us right where we are—laundry piles, cracker crumbs, chaos and all.
