My 5 Favorite Podcasts

I love a good recommendation blog post.  I always want to know what books are great, who has new music, what the latest parenting craze is ( I am almost completely certain that I will not follow it but I
like to be in the know), and what are the must listen to podcasts.

I'm not new to the podcast platform but I don't usually shout from the mountain tops what I'm listening to.  I really enjoy podcasts that benefit my life in one way or another and I almost always stick to podcasts that are Christ center, either because the host is a Christ follower or the content is biblically focused.   This just helps me personally, to not compartmentalize my life.

I listen to more than 5 podcasts but these are my favorites for sure.

  1. The Mom Struggling Well Podcast is the very first podcast I ever listened to.  I remember laughing out loud through the whole podcast because she was living my life.  Or at least it felt like it.  I love to laugh and this one combined laughing with the truth of mom struggles.  The most recent episode "Struggling Sisters: Conflict" was so good!  I encourage you to follow the link and take a listen. 
  2. The Next Right Thing makes the top of the list because each episode is less than 15 mins and has one practical action step at the end of the episode to help the listener make the next right decision for them.  I enjoy a brief listen but more than that, I love not feeling overwhelmed while I'm listening.  There is a book that the host wrote of the same title that is on my reading list.  
  3. Marriage After God is a great podcast that helps me stay focused on God's design and purpose for marriage.  I love the encouragement and at times the conviction that it provides. The hosts have a couple of books on marriage and also a 30 day prayer challenge.  The challenge is free and you get emails with prayer prompts in your inbox everyday.  I encourage you to check it out!
  4. Java with Juli is a podcast that is a ministry of Authentic Intimacy.  I actually heard about this podcast on the Marriage After God podcast.  This podcast tackles some hard topics and keeps the truth of the Gospel and the Bible at the center of every topic.  I really enjoy listening to this one. 
  5. Asking For a Friend and I don't mean the Lauren Conrad podcast.  I just started listening to this one and am loving it.  It is Christ centered and if you are needing to hear a less than 30 minute podcast the speaks the truth of God's word about topics and questions that we all have
    had at one point or another, then check it out.  There isn't really an online link but it is available on Podbean and Apple Podcast.  Here is the picture that goes with the podcast so you can find it if you go looking

40 Day Sugar Fast- Days 1 and 2

I am unlikely to write everyday of this fast but I want to do periodic updates as I go along.  Buying the book was not on my radar, I knew I could do this with just the emails, and website but Amazon had it on sale and I found out that you got access to tons of freebies when you buy the book.  I can't resist a good freebie so I was game.  Here is what you got with the purchase of the book: *Printables *Weekly Videos *Scripture Cards for each day's verse *A Digital Book called "Sugar doesn't Make a Mama Sweet" Here are a few of the printables and memory cards and where I put them.  Now that I have told you all about the free stuff lets get to it! Lets start with Day 1 .  This was a day full of testing.  Not sugar wise.  I didn't crave any sugar just for the sake of sugar.  I went to Christ in prayer, listened to worship music, read the Bible, listened to the Bible in Lew of sugar. However, one of my children was having a hard da...

3 Year Olds, Am I Right???

The 3 year old phase, is at the same time, my least and most favorite phase.  I know, it doesn't make sense to me either, but just hang in there while I try to explain myself. This is the phase in which *most* tiny people have more words and can express what is going on in their cute little heads.  I love the level of communication.  I love not needing to guess *most* of the time which color of cup is the favorite today.  I love hearing their voices, and all of the questions that they have as they try to make sense of their world. While some days I lovingly refer to this phase as "terrorist threes" and other days I have no idea how one tiny human can make SO. MANY. MESSES while looking so dang cute, most days I am giggling and wondering what they will be when they grow up.  What is God's plan for this BIG personality. My current 3 year old is, to date, my most challenging.  She is busy, has definite ideas of how she thinks her day should go, and is ...

Winnie the Pooh Day ( I really didn't know that was a thing...)

You may not know this, but today is Winnie the Pooh day.  Otherwise known as the birthday of A.A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh. You also may not know that, even though we decorate baby nurseries with Winnie the Pooh themed decor, I would not label them as baby/toddler books.  The original set has four books in it, they are not picture books or even short books.  They are chapter books. I listened to the Read Aloud Revival podcast one day and they were talking about some of their favorite books to read.  Winnie the Pooh was brought up, but what was said surprised me (because until this point I really didn't know anything about Winnie the Pooh other than nurseries and baby books and cartoons). Her guest Tsh Oxenreider said: "Well, I have to say they usually are recommended for kids far too young. They are books I would say minimum of age 8. Eight to 12 is the best age for Winnie the Pooh. It sounds funny because we decorate our baby nurseries with Winni...
