In this episode, we explore the powerful practice of letting children teach what they’ve learned. From a family discussion on sowing and reaping to the surprise of a five-year-old remembering and explaining a Kingdom principle, we discover how teaching helps kids internalize truth at a deeper level. You’ll hear practical ways to invite your children to “own” spiritual lessons—by sharing them with siblings, parents, or even grandparents—and why making it fun cements the learning in their hearts and minds.

Do you ever feel the weight of being judged—or catch yourself judging another mom? In this episode, we dive into what Scripture says about judgment and explore how our thoughts about others often reflect our own fears. Through practical reflection and God’s healing presence, you’ll learn how to release judgment, walk in greater freedom, and parent with confidence rooted in Christ.

As moms, it’s easy to get swept up in endless to-do lists, soccer practices, church events, and daily chores. In this episode, we pause to reflect on the story of Mary and Martha—reminding ourselves that the most important part of our day is sitting at Jesus’ feet. Discover how spending intentional time with Him equips us to love our families better, bring peace into our homes, and say “yes” only to what He’s truly calling us to do. This is your encouragement to trade performance for presence, and to find joy in knowing Jesus before doing for Jesus.

Do you ever feel like you’re running at max capacity all the time? You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. In this episode, we explore why life always feels full, how God stretches our capacity in different seasons, and why true peace doesn’t come from an empty calendar, but from His presence in the middle of it all.

In this heartfelt episode, we unpack a simple but powerful parenting truth: you can’t control your child’s behavior, but you can control permission, consequences, and the culture you set in your home. Inspired by a one-on-one conversation with her almost-six-year-old, we explore how to clarify roles, set boundaries, and embrace the honor of guiding our children with love and Kingdom principles.

Do your expectations of your kids reflect the grace God extends to you? In this episode, Emily invites Kingdom mamas to examine where perfectionism may be creeping into their parenting. She shares how unrealistic expectations can lead to performance-based households—and how God’s love calls us to parent differently. Discover how to cultivate a learning environment filled with connection, grace, and peace that draws your child’s heart closer, not further. Let's parent the way God parents us.

What is the Kingdom of God—and why does it matter for motherhood? In this episode, Emily breaks down Jesus’ core message, what it means to live as stewards (not owners), and how Kingdom principles like humility, stewardship, and love apply to how we raise our kids.
