Truth Over Trends Podcast | Biblical Womanhood, Faith, & Real Life

The election is Tuesday. God is still sovereign on Wednesday.

Election season can bring plenty of fear, frustration, division, and uncertainty.

But as Christians, where should our hope really rest?

In this timely episode of Truth Over Trends, we’re looking at three biblical reminders for election week: why elections matter but aren’t ultimate, why God’s sovereignty never depends on political outcomes, and why our calling as Christians remains the same regardless of who wins.

We’ll talk about engaging thoughtfully in civic life, guarding our hearts against fear, praying...

October 31 isn’t just about Halloween.

It’s also Reformation Day—a date that marks a turning point in church history and reminds us why biblical truth is worth standing for.

But what exactly was the Protestant Reformation? And why should Christian women care about something that happened more than 500 years ago? I

n this episode of Truth Over Trends, we’re taking a quick look at Martin Luther, the Reformation, and five foundational truths known as the five solas: Scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and glory to God alone.

“I'm just Type A.” “I'm an introvert.” “I'm an Enneagram 8.” “That's just how I am.”

But what happens when the labels we use to describe ourselves become excuses for the behaviors we're called to change?

Personality tests, Enneagram numbers, and endless self-discovery tools have become part of everyday culture.

They've even found their way into Christian churches, women's ministries, and conversations about spiritual growth.

But just because something helps explain your behavior doesn't mean it excuses it. In this episode of Truth Over Trends, we're examining the Enneagram's origins, its growing influence in Chr...

What happens when we start asking ChatGPT questions we should be taking to God?

AI can write your prayers, explain Bible verses, offer parenting advice, and help you make decisions. It can sound knowledgeable, convincing, and even biblical. But just because something sounds like truth doesn't mean it is. Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, learn, parent, and even approach our faith.

And while some Christians are avoiding it altogether, others are embracing it without considering where the boundaries should be.

So where's the line between using a helpful tool and allowing...

Most women don’t need more information about how to be healthy. We know we should move our bodies. Drink the water. Eat nourishing food. Get enough sleep. Manage stress. Take care of ourselves. Knowing isn’t usually the problem.

Doing it consistently is. In this episode of Truth Over Trends, I’m joined by Brooke Rozmenoski—also known as Brooke Rozzie—a Christian counselor, Functional Nutrition Coach, and founder of Faithfully Nourished.

We’re talking about the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it: why motivation isn’t enough, what makes healthy habits...

Every October, Christians seem to have the same debate: Should Christians participate in Halloween at all?

Is trick-or-treating harmless fun? What about costumes, pumpkins, harvest festivals, scary decorations, or the darker parts of Halloween? And at what point does a personal conviction become something we start requiring of every other Christian?

In this short episode of Truth Over Trends, Ingrid shares how her own family’s approach to Halloween has gradually changed over the years—and why she believes this conversation is about much more than simply deciding whether Halloween is “good” or...

You love your kids. You want them grounded in God’s Word. You want to be intentional about what is shaping their hearts and minds.

But you don’t homeschool.

Maybe you can’t. Maybe you don’t feel called to. Maybe you’ve prayerfully chosen public, private, or Christian school for your family.

Does that mean you’ve somehow handed over your role in discipling your children?

Absolutely not.

In this episode of Truth Over Trends, I’m sitting down with Carrie De Francisco of Coffee With Carrie Homeschool Hel...

You’re getting the kids dressed.

You’re getting everyone out the door.

You’re sitting in the church pew.

You’re opening the Bible at home.

You’re praying for your children.

You’re trying to faithfully point your family toward Christ…

But your husband isn’t walking alongside you spiritually.

What do you do when you’re the one carrying much of the spiritual responsibility for your children—and you desperately wish you we...

Prayer matters.

God’s Word matters.

Faith matters.

But sometimes the woman who’s struggling also needs someone to recognize that something isn’t okay—and help her get appropriate care.

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, we’re having an important conversation about Christianity and mental health—and the tension between two extremes.

On one side, our culture can be quick to diagnose and medicate every difficult emotion.

On the other, Christians can som...

I put my husband in the hot seat… and you all picked the questions. 😅🔥

I asked the women in our Christ Over Culture Moms community what they REALLY wanted to ask a Christian husband—and they did not hold back.

Does it bother him to come home to a messy house? Should a husband recognize when his wife is drowning without her having to ask for help? What does biblical headship actually look like—and when does leadership cross the line into control? How can a wife lighten her husband’s load? And what h...

The world tells women:

“If you can just change your body, you’ll finally change your life.”

Lose the weight.

Fit into the jeans.

Find the perfect diet.

Start over on Monday.

But what if that’s the biggest lie the diet industry has been selling us all along?

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, we’re reframing health through a biblical lens. Instead of chasing quick fixes, perfection, or an...

You can be married.

You can have wonderful children.

You can faithfully attend church.

You can be surrounded by people every single day…

…and still feel incredibly alone.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?”—this episode is for you.

After an encouragement challenge inside my Christian moms community, one thing became abundantly clear: so many women are quietly carrying loneliness, discouragement, and the weight of motherhood without anyone knowing.

In thi...

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, many Christians are asking an important question:

Can Christians be patriotic?

Is it biblical to love your country?

Where is the line between gratitude and idolatry?

Can we celebrate Independence Day while remembering that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven?

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, we’re taking a biblical look at patriotism, earthly citizenship, and why our hope must never rest in a nation—but in Christ alone.

What does biblical modesty actually look like?

Is it about hemlines and dress codes, or is it something much deeper?

In this special interview episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Malinda Pagel for an honest conversation about modesty, conviction, legalism, and honoring Christ in a culture that constantly tells women their value is found in their appearance.

Malinda is an Army veteran, high-risk OB nurse, homeschooling mom of four, and has been married to her husband, Chad, for twelve years. She b...

Public school. Private school. Homeschool.

Few topics create more debate among Christian parents than education. As a homeschool mom, speaker, and curriculum creator, you might assume I believe homeschooling is the only right answer.

But after attending public school myself, having a husband who attended public school, raising children in public school, graduating one child from public school, and homeschooling for many years, I’ve learned something important: There is no perfect educational option.

Every schooling choice comes with strengths.

Every schooling choice comes with challenges.

And every family ha...

As a homeschool mom, speaker, and curriculum creator, this may be one of the most important things I’ve ever said: Homeschooling won’t save your children. Now before you panic, hear me out.

I believe school choice matters. I believe parents should be intentional. I believe discipleship matters.

But after years of parenting, homeschooling, and watching families walk different paths, I’ve come to realize something important: No curriculum, co-op, private school, public school, or homeschool schedule can do what only God can do.

June is Pride Month, and for many Christians, it raises an important question: How should we respond?

In a culture that increasingly equates love with affirmation, many believers feel caught between speaking the truth and showing compassion.

But Scripture never asks us to choose between the two.

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, Ingrid takes a biblical look at Pride Month, homosexuality, truth, love, and what it means to be salt and light in a culture that is moving further and further away from God’s design.

This is...

Birth control and family planning are topics that many Christian couples wrestle with, but they’re not always discussed openly—or thoughtfully.

As a mom of ten, this is a question I get asked often, so in today’s episode, I’m sharing where my husband and I personally landed on birth control and family planning, how our convictions developed over time, and why we believe Christians should think through these decisions prayerfully and biblically rather than simply accepting whatever culture says is normal.

This is not a debate episode, and it’s not about creating r...

Manifestation is everywhere right now.

From self-help culture and social media trends to affirmation language and “speaking things into existence,” the message is constant: you have the power to create your own reality. But is that actually biblical?

In today’s episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, Ingrid takes a biblical look at manifestation culture, affirmations, positive thinking, and the subtle shift from dependence on God to dependence on self.

This conversation is not about fear or negativity—it’s about discernment and understanding the difference between biblical faith and self-focused spirituality.

Beauty culture is reaching girls younger and younger.

From skincare routines and makeup tutorials to constant conversations about appearance, perfection, and “fixing flaws,” the pressure surrounding beauty has become overwhelming—and as Christian moms, we have to ask deeper questions about what we’re participating in and what we’re modeling for our daughters.

In today’s episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, Ingrid takes a biblical look at beauty culture, vanity, skincare, makeup, and the difference between stewardship and obsession.

This episode is not about legalism or saying women can’t care for thems...

Yoga is everywhere.

It’s in workout apps, studios, and even spaces labeled “Christian.”

It’s often presented as simple stretching, relaxation, or a way to slow down in a busy life. But is it actually harmless?

In this episode, Ingrid takes a clear and biblical look at what yoga really is, where it comes from, and why that matters for Christian women who want to live with discernment.

This is not a conversation about avoiding movement or taking care of your body—it’s about understanding what you’re participating in and alignin...

Aging isn’t the problem—but the way we think about it might be. In today’s culture, aging is treated like something to fix, prevent, or reverse.

From subtle pressures to “get your body back” after having children to more visible trends like mommy makeovers, the message is clear: your value is tied to how you look. But is that actually true?

In this episode, Ingrid walks through what the world gets wrong about aging and contrasts it with a biblical perspective rooted in identity, stewardship, and truth. This is not about ju...

You already know what to do.

Eat better. Move your body. Be consistent.

So why does it still feel like it’s not working?

In this episode, Ingrid breaks down the real reason so many Christian women feel stuck in their health—and it’s not a lack of knowledge. It’s the approach.

From chasing quick fixes and products to living in all-or-nothing cycles, to relying on feelings instead of obedience—this episode brings a bold, biblical reset to what health is actually suppo...

What happens when the way you’ve been parenting… isn’t actually rooted in Scripture?

In this episode, Ingrid shares a real and honest look at how her parenting has shifted over time—from cultural norms and behavior-based expectations to intentional, biblical discipleship inside the home.

As a mom in a blended family who came to faith later in life, this conversation unpacks the reality of raising children in different seasons, unlearning what once felt “normal,” and choosing faithfulness over fairness.

This is not about perfection—it’s about growth, conviction, and aligning your home with t...

What if the version of Christianity you’ve been living… isn’t actually rooted in truth? In this episode, we’re talking about what I’m calling Pinterest Christianity—a version of faith that looks good on the outside, feels encouraging, and fits neatly into everyday life… but often lacks depth, conviction, and transformation.

Not because we’re trying to live that way— but because it’s subtle. It’s normalized. And it’s everywhere.

These are the quiet lies that shape how we think, how we live, and how we justify things we don’t even question anymore.<...

This episode marks a shift.

We’re stepping into Truth Over Trends—a deeper, more honest conversation about what it means to live as a Christian woman in a culture that constantly pulls us in the opposite direction.

Because the goal isn’t happiness. The goal is holiness.

And those two things are not the same. In this episode, we talk about the quiet ways culture creeps into our homes, our habits, our standards—and how easy it is to start justifying what God has clearly called us away from.

This isn’t ab...

Postpartum is a beautiful season—but it can also be physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging.

After walking through multiple postpartum seasons over the years, Ingrid shares five things she wishes she had understood much earlier.

These lessons have helped her care for her body more wisely, enjoy the postpartum season more fully, and steward the body God gave her instead of fighting against it.

In this episode, Ingrid talks about comparison after pregnancy, simple habits that make a huge difference in energy and recovery, learning to slow down during healing, communicating needs with fa...

It’s 3PM. You’re exhausted. The baby didn’t nap.

You skipped lunch.

The kids are arguing, dinner isn’t planned, and suddenly the whole day feels like it’s falling apart. If you’re a mom, you probably know this moment well.

In this episode of Healthy Holy Momlife, Ingrid walks through what’s really happening in that afternoon spiral and how to respond with wisdom instead of frustration.

We talk about caring for the body as God’s temple, recognizing when our bodies are depleted, and how simple resets can chang...

If we know what Scripture says…

If we know what wisdom looks like…

If we know the healthy choice…

Why is it still so hard to live it out?

In this episode, Ingrid explores the tension many Christian women feel between knowing truth and consistently applying it — in health, motherhood, faith, and everyday discipline.

Scripture shows us this struggle is not new. Even the apostle Paul described the battle between desire and follow-through. But God also shows us how real transformation happens: not through per...

You know what to do.

You know protein stabilizes you.

You know water helps.

You know movement changes your mood.

You know time in the Word anchors your heart.

So why is it still so hard to stay steady?

In this episode, Ingrid speaks to the mom who isn’t confused about health — she’s depleted.

The one who can do it 75% of the time… but on the other 25% days, everything feels like it’s collapsing.

We talk about:

• Why this isn’...

In 1 Samuel 17, the giant wasn’t the only problem — fear was.

For forty days, Israel stood frozen. The giant spoke, and they listened. But David saw the same giant and responded with covenant confidence in the Lord.

In this episode, we take a biblically grounded look at what your “giant” might be in your health journey. Often it’s not your body — it’s fear. It’s shame. It’s self-doubt. It’s confusion shaped by diet culture.

We’ll unpack:

• Why fear keeps you stuck in planning but not o...

What does it actually look like to glorify God in your body? In this episode, Ingrid breaks down five clear, biblical ways to walk in obedience in your health — not through vanity, extremes, or diet culture — but through stewardship, self-control, and surrender.

If you’ve ever felt torn between “grace” and “discipline,” this episode draws a clear line: grace removes condemnation, but it does not remove responsibility.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why spiritual nourishment comes before physical discipline

• How to glorify God in what you eat and drink (1 Corinthians 10:31)

• Movement as st...

What does it look like to care for your health when you’re postpartum, exhausted, or simply in a season where your capacity is limited? In this episode, Ingrid shares a biblical, grace-filled approach to health rooted in stewardship—not extremes.

We talk about all-or-nothing thinking, postpartum bodies, nourishment, rest, movement, and why small, faithful choices still matter to God.

This episode is for the woman who wants to stay faithful without burning out. In this episode:

• Why health doesn’t have to be extreme to honor God

• A Scri...

Many Christian moms are exhausted—not because they don’t care about their health, but because they’ve been living under rules God never gave them.

Rules that say:

• count and burn every calorie

• eliminate entire food groups

• chase skinny instead of strength

• control your body to be “disciplined”

• measure worth by numbers and appearance

In this episode, Ingrid names the truth most women feel but rarely articulate: diet culture has discipled Christian women away from peace, freedom, and trust in God.

Christian moms are exhausted—not because they don’t care about their health, but because they’ve been following rules God never gave them.

Rules that say:

• health can be bought

• discipline must be extreme

• skinny equals healthy

• your body should look the same after babies

• and you need perfect conditions to begin

In this episode, Ingrid walks through five common health rules Christian moms need to stop following in 2026, not from diet culture—but from a biblical lens rooted in stewardship, wisdom...

As a new year approaches, many Christian moms feel an unspoken pressure to fix themselves.

Fix their routines.

Fix their health.

Fix their homes.

Fix everything that feels messy, unfinished, or behind.

But Scripture never calls us to frantic reinvention.

In this episode, Ingrid gently dismantles the cultural expectation that growth requires a perfect plan, a dramatic vision, or a complete overhaul of your life. Instead, she invites you into a far more biblical posture—one rooted in wisdom, discernment, peace, and d...

January brings pressure—new rules, new goals, a “new you.”

But Scripture never asked for that.

In this episode, Ingrid gently but clearly dismantles the idea that lasting change comes from January overhauls and all-or-nothing resolutions. Instead, she offers a biblical reframe: health that honors God is built through faithful stewardship, not calendar-driven pressure.

This conversation is for the Christian mom who:

• feels worn down by New Year’s expectations

• keeps starting strong and burning out

• is tired of chasing a number, a size, or the wor...

“I’m tired of starting over.”

If you’ve said that after another hard day — another plan that didn’t stick, another promise to “do better tomorrow,” another wave of guilt — this episode is for you.

So many Christian moms are stuck in a cycle of stopping and starting programs, buying the next product, chasing what the world says health should look like, and believing one bad day means everything is ruined. The guilt piles up, motivation fades, and the only option that seems left is to reset… again.

But what if the...

If you’ve ever felt guilty because your Bible time wasn’t quiet, uninterrupted, or “done right,” this episode is for you.

Somewhere along the way, Christian moms were taught to believe a lie: that time with God has to look calm, clean, aesthetic, and perfectly planned to count. But real mom life is loud. It’s interrupted. It’s messy.

And waiting for perfect conditions often means Scripture stays closed and prayer feels out of reach. In this episode, Ingrid boldly dismantles the myth of the “perfect quiet time” and replaces it with b...

If you’ve been overwhelmed, overstimulated, snappy, drained, or waking up already behind… this episode will help you breathe again.

Today we walk through the real signs you’re in survival mode, the lies the enemy speaks when you’re exhausted, and the simple biblical rhythms that bring your heart back to center.
