Join me as I wrap up 2024 with answers to your burning questions like… “What was your favorite food as a kid?”
Okay, yes. That was one of the lighter questions I got asked, but I also dive into how to address sibling squabbling and what my favorite things about having only littles were, among other things.
I hope you enjoy this last WWKW, podcast style, for the year. Can’t wait to share more with you in the new year!

18 December 2024, 6:00 am - 56 minutes 56 secondsEp. 88: Whaddya Wanna Know Wit’s Day (Head Coverings + Why Babies Go to Heaven)
On this episode, my pastor, whom I call Wit, tackles one of the biggest FAQs I’ve received over the last two years—the issue of whether modern Christian women should physically cover their heads, especially while in corporate worship.
As always, he looks to Scripture as his guide and does a great job of addressing this sometimes contentious issue with clarity and compassion.
We also talk about a biblical argument for the confidence that babies who die in the womb or very small children who die before they are able to comprehend the gospel are granted eternal life with Christ in heaven.
As someone who has experienced four miscarriages, I found Wit’s explanation of his conviction in the mercy of God in this area to be well-expressed and comforting.
Whatever your stance on either topic, I know you’ll be edified and encouraged to dig deep into God’s Word for Truth.

11 December 2024, 6:00 am - 36 minutes 59 secondsEp. 87: What Do You Wanna Know Wit’s Day (Christmas and the Lord’s Day)
Back by popular demand, my pastor, Rick Witmer (whom I call Wit), is on the podcast today to tackle some of your most pressing questions.
We start with one that’s relevant for this time of year: “Is it biblical to celebrate Christmas?”
And then, we move on to a biblical examination of why Christians worship on Sundays (instead of Saturdays) and what role Sabbath plays in the modern-day believer’s life.
As you can see from the long list of Scripture references below, Wit infuses all of his answers with ample support from God’s Word. Whether or not you arrive at the same conclusions, I know you’ll be edified by his careful and thorough examination of your questions with the Bible as his guide.

4 December 2024, 6:00 am - 20 minutes 18 secondsEp. 86: Finding Gratitude in Unlikely Places
If we’re honest, we all have something to be grateful for: breath in our bodies, sun on our faces, a warm bowl of soup in our bellies, the sound of our children laughing in the other room…
And then there are the even more obvious reasons to be thankful: job promotions, new babies, wishes fulfilled.
But what about the things we don’t feel thankful for? Could there be any room for gratitude there? Any purpose or meaning behind the struggles we didn’t hope for?
I believe, from personal experience and Biblical principle, the answer is yes! Join me as I unpack this truth in Episode 86.

Join me as I chat with Kirk Cameron about how we as parents can have a godly influence on our kids, even with the clamor of worldly voices in their ears.
We chat about current culture, Kirk’s goal in leaving mainstream Hollywood content creation, and his new show, Adventures of Iggy and Mr. Kirk—a resource for young children to counteract anti-biblical messaging from secular society.
Be encouraged that you are not alone in the fight to disciple your children well in a way that honors God!

20 November 2024, 6:00 am - 14 minutes 40 secondsEp. 84: An “Attagirl” for the Mama Bears
In a world which champions ungodly parenting philosophies, mocks the traditional family unit, and glorifies self over sacrifice, it can feel daunting to swim against the current of culture.
But I have seen (and heard from) so many mamas who are doing just that and making a difference for good in their communities and the world at large.
This episode is “an attagirl” and an encouragement to buck the status quo and value God’s wisdom above man’s.
I am honored to stand with the Mama Bears who fear God not man and are invested in raising their children in the “teaching and admonition of the Lord.”
Keep going. Your work matters, and the Lord is with you every step of the way.

This week, we continue with our chat with my pastor, Rick Witmer (or “Wit”), as he lays out a biblical case for reformed theology.
We also get into some real-world examples that answer the question, “If God is truly sovereign, then why choose to take action at all?”
Come unpack the “mystery box” of God’s sovereign will in conjunction with man’s responsibility to make choices in today’s thought-provoking episode!

30 October 2024, 5:00 am - 51 minutes 18 secondsEp. 81: Theology Chats With Wit (Reformed Beliefs + God’s Sovereignty)—Part 1
If you’ve ever heard of the doctrine of election or the five points of Calvinism, you may feel like you have more questions than answers about what those and many other tenets of Reformed theology mean.
Since it’s Reformation Month—when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of a Catholic church—I thought it would be the perfect time to chat all things Reformed with my pastor, Rick Witmer, whom I call “Wit.”
In this episode, he’s giving us background and answering some of your most pressing questions that you always submit on WWKW anytime I talk about attending a reformed church.
I am so grateful for Wit’s wisdom, clear articulation, knowledge of church history, biblical prowess, and kindness.
I know, no matter what your theological background, you’ll enjoy the conversational way he breaks down the essential beliefs of the Reformed movement with clarity and compassion.
Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!

23 October 2024, 7:24 am - 33 minutes 32 secondsEp. 80: Nobody is Killing It All the Time (Priorities and Preparation for Seasons of Limited Capacity)
It’s easy to see someone doing well in an area (or multiple areas) and assume they’re killing it in every other arena as well.
The truth is, while we strive for the balance of doing all things excellently to the glory of God, we often found our capacities particularly limited during certain seasons and generally limited all the time (bc no one is good at everything).
Whether we are unusually busy (where I find myself right now), postpartum, solo-parenting, or something else altogether, we find ourselves needing to focus on the main things while being forced to let other areas go for a time.
When we are careful to prioritize the needful things and prepare our hearts with reasonable expectations, we can still thrive through seasons of limited capacity while recognizing everyone will find themselves in a similar boat at some point—and the Lord can still use us all!

On this episode, we’re trying something a little different by doing a podcast version of the Q&A I do every week on my social media.
I tackle serious questions (like how to turn a bad day around when you’ve lost your cool) as well as lighthearted ones (could either of our sets of twins fools us by switching places??).
I’d love to hear your thoughts and whether you’d like to see this as a regular installment of the podcast.
Enjoy!
