Spiritual Growth for Christian Moms | Returning to Peace & Patience in Christ as a Busy Mama

In this second episode of our mini-series with licensed counselor Claudia Davis, we dive into the spiritual and emotional strongholds that can keep us trapped in unhealthy patterns. Claudia helps us understand what strongholds are, how they manifest in our thoughts and behaviors, and, most importantly, how God’s Word gives us the power to break free.

We’ll explore practical steps, biblical truths, and prayerful approaches to identifying and overcoming these chains in our lives. If you’ve ever felt stuck, trapped, or weighed down by recurring struggles, this episode is for you.

Links & Resour...

Have you ever wondered… am I using these words correctly?

“Narcissist.”
“Gaslighting.”
“Toxic.”

These terms are everywhere right now—but what do they actually mean? And more importantly… how do you know if you or someone you love is in a truly harmful relationship?

In this first episode of a 3-part series, I sit down with Christian therapist Claudia Davis to bring clarity, truth, and biblical wisdom into a conversation that the world often distorts.

We talk about:

What “narcissism” really is (and what it’s not)

What gaslighting...

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward in your faith as a busy mom?

This Christmas Eve episode is unlike anything I’ve done before.

Instead of teaching, discussion, or commentary, I’m reading the chronological account of Jesus’ birth directly from Scripture using The Passion Translation. This episode flows seamlessly through Matthew, Luke, and John, allowing the story to be heard as one continuous narrative.

There are no pauses to explain when passages change—this is intentional. My prayer is that you can simply listen, reflect, and prepare your heart for Christmas Day.

Even if you’ve heard the story of Jesus’ birth countless times, I encourage yo...

If you’ve been feeling like life is dragging you around by the messy bun… this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.

Today, we’re talking about what happens when we stop living on autopilot — constantly reacting, constantly rushing — and start living with intention again. Because let’s be honest, most of us are not making choices… we’re just trying to survive the day without losing our keys, our patience, or our minds.

Peace doesn’t happen by accident.
A steady heart doesn’t happen...
