In this episode, we're talking about first fruits- what it means to honor God first in our homes, our finances, and our everyday obedience.

Together, we explore the biblical foundation of tithes and offerings, not as a burden, but as an invitation into trust, faithfulness, and alignment with God's provision. This conversation goes beyond numbers and budgets and into the heart of stewardship- how our giving reflects who (and what) we trust, and how obedience opens the door for God to work in...

This February on the Welcome Home by Gina podcast, we're exploring a question that touches every part of our lives: What is love? And even more- what truly has our hearts?

We'll talk about how love shows up in our priorities, our schedules, our relationships, and even the way we care for our homes and families.

And as believers, we have incredible insight into the true n...

In this episode of the Welcome Home podcast, we talk about the beauty of homemaking, the ministry of hospitality, and the everyday practices that bring faith to life. Anchoring in Romans 12:12–13: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."

Hospitality is at the heart of the Christian life- it's not just about entertaining, it's about opening our homes and our hearts to others.

If you've been journeying with me through the pages of my book Welcome Home, you know my heart: to share encouragement, practical tips, and Christ-centered inspiration for building homes filled with beauty, peace, and purpose.

In this episode, instead of diving deep into homemaking wisdom, you'll hear a special preview of what's coming next- because this journey doesn't end here. It's just the beginning!

On this episode of the Welcome Home podcast, where faith and homemaking meet, we're turning to John 14:1–3, where Jesus promises: "In my Father's house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you."

It is so beautiful that our Savior himself is preparing a place for us. And in our own small, earthly way, we have the privilege of reflecting that same love and hospitality by preparing places in our homes- especially at the table.

Join me as we talk about the importance of the dining table in our homes- the place where meal...

Our homes are more than walls and furniture- they're ministries. When we design with intention, we create spaces that bless, comfort, and reflect the One we serve. You don't have to be a professional interior designer to curate a nested home. In this episode I'll cover some basics that will either get you up and running, or e...

In this episode of the Welcome Home podcast we're diving into one of my favorite and most personal parts of homemaking- feeding our families with joy, intention, and even some creativity.

Our guiding scripture is Matthew 5:6: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied."

Join me as we talk about all o...
