As our kids grow, their questions get bigger—about faith, identity, relationships, and even tough issues like loss or why there’s suffering in the world. These questions can catch us off guard, and sometimes, it’s hard to know the “right” answer.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring ways to navigate those big questions with sincerity and faith, turning challenging conversations into moments of growth.

How do we handle it when our kids ask questions about cultural issues, family, or faith? How do we respond when they bring up topics we ourselves may struggle to answer? As moms, we may not have all the answers, but we can guide them toward truth, listening deeply and responding thoughtfully.

1 Peter 3:15 reminds us to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” This episode is about finding that hope together and creating an environment where our kids feel safe to ask and explore—even the hard questions.

Let’s grow together in these moments, making space for trust and understanding in every conversation. Join us for an honest talk about parenting through tough questions, and let’s encourage each other as we walk through it. 🌱

In a culture where the lines between right and wrong often seem blurred, our children are being bombarded with messages of “my truth” and cultural relativism. As Christian moms, it can feel overwhelming to teach our kids to stand firm in God’s absolute truth when the world says otherwise. But here’s the good news—we’re not alone in this journey!

In this episode of the Mom to Mom Podcast, Kate, September and Jamie dive deep into raising kids in an age of cultural relativism. We explore how to equip ourselves and our children with biblical values that don’t change with the shifting culture. We talk about practical tips for every age group, how to address tough issues like gender and identity, and how to have those important conversations that will strengthen your child’s faith in the face of opposing beliefs.

It’s not easy, but it’s crucial. Romans 12:2 reminds us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds and not to conform to the patterns of this world. We’ll show you how to apply this truth as you guide your kids to discern what is good, acceptable, and perfect in God’s eyes.

Tune in to be encouraged and equipped as you to raise strong, faith-filled kids in a culture that often rejects truth. Let’s pass on the torch of faith to the next generation!

Moms, we’ve all been there—the moments when we want to step in, fix everything, and control every detail of our kids’ lives. But what happens when we can’t? When their paths take unexpected turns, or their choices challenge our expectations?

In Episode 109 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, we’re diving into Embracing the Unexpected in Parenting. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about what it really means to let go of the need to control every aspect of our children’s journeys—even when they make decisions we don’t agree with. It’s about learning to surrender in all seasons of their lives, trusting that God is at work, even when the path looks different than we imagined.

From trusting God’s plan to finding peace in the challenges we never saw coming, we’ll share practical tips on how to release control and allow God to work through the unexpected. 1 Peter 5:7

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this episode is for you. We explore how to support our children with love and faith, without micromanaging their lives—because surrendering them to God’s care can lead to a deeper peace for us, too.

Tune in for real talk, encouragement, and a reminder that we don’t have to have all the answers to trust in God’s perfect plan.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7

We are living in a world of quick fixes and instant everything.  In just a few clicks, we can have nearly anything we want in less than 24 hours. We want it fast, and we want it now. 

But God isn’t in a hurry, and as we grow in our relationship with Him, we have to learn to trust His timing in everything, no matter how long it takes.

As moms, how do we resist the urge to expect immediate results in both our spiritual lives and with parenting our kids?

How do we model it, teaching them to trust God’s timing?

Our culture is speeding up, but He’s calling us to slow down and do the opposite of what the world is doing.

So, how do we learn to slow down and trust His timing in a world shouting at us to hurry up? 

Join Kate, September, and Jamie as we share what has helped us develop spiritual patience and endurance for the long haul of parenting.

We all know a great and godly marriage takes work. And it’s also fair to say that motherhood is a full-time job of its own as well. It’s a delicate balance. How DO we find the time, the space, the energy, and the focus to keep both relationships healthy and strong?  Is it possible?

There are plenty of issues that can divide Christian moms, with well-meaning and Jesus loving women on both sides of any argument. Yet the debate runs deeper than the typical "mommy wars" because at the heart of the division is our commitment to God and His Word. Today, we’re going to be talking about the differences between personal convictions (sometimes called freedoms) and Biblical commands. As we chat, we’re not necessarily going to share our individual beliefs about specific issues, but rather how to put our convictions in their rightful place.

This episode will conclude season 5 of the Mom to Mom podcast. In the coming months, Kate, September, and Jamie will be taking a hiatus to enjoy some rest. They'll be back in September with new episodes, eager to join the conversation around the long and wide table of motherhood. In the meantime, we all hope you’ll still tune in as we rewind through some of the most popular episodes of the first four years.

Recently, Kate, September, and Jamie had the privilege of hosting a Q&A panel at the Teach Them Diligently convention in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The room was packed with moms eager to ask them some hard questions about mothering, faith, homeschooling, discipleship, and so much more. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to get to all of the questions and there were several that were quite universal, so they thought it would be beneficial to discuss them on the podcast.

In this episode, they return to that stack of questions and do their best to answer them as if we were still sitting down with mothers in real-time. Just as in the live Q&A, they do "shoot from the hip" with no preparation or background, not knowing all the nuances behind the question or your specific set of circumstances. Take their thoughts as a gentle invitation to explore further on your own.

Thank you so much for listening. We are winding down season 5 of the show and are in process of planning season 6, so if these or any other topics piqued your interest and you’d like to hear more, please shoot us a message on Instagram⁠ or Facebook and let us know what topics you’d like for us to discuss next season!
