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

5 Easy Steps For Holiday Travel Prep (With 5 Kids)

We, as a family, are GREAT roadtrippers.  Not to toot our own horns, but, TOOT TOOT.  As a matter of fact, we leave in 11 days for a 2200 mile round trip drive to PA.  Home of brotherly love, mild summers, NOT mild winters, and my FAVORITE in laws (seriously I really adore my sister in law and her family, not in a weird way though) You may not know me but my husband and I have 5 kids.  Yes, you read that right, FIVE.  Traveling by plane, train, or automobile takes careful planning, flexibility, and low expectations.  I kid you not.  I have found the downfall of many family activities to be over inflated expectations. Currently I am in the throws of travel plans and wanted to share some of my tips for getting *almost* everything you need in the vehicle, thus avoiding approximately 462,834,100 trips to target, dollar tree, walmart, and the random corner gas station. 1. MAKE A LIST , maybe 3, possibly 4. Make a list for each person that is travelin...

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 ...

40 Day Sugar Fast-Challenge Accepted

Podcasts are one of my favorite things.  I recently started listening to the podcast "Java with Juli" Click here to check it out. .  One particular episode really caught my attention  Episode #291 Will You Trade Your Comfort Food for the Comforter? .  Driving through the mountains of West Virginia and Virginia of our journey back to Texas, I heard the best explanation of fasting I had ever encountered.  It made total sense.   The 40 Day Sugar Fast  is so much more than just a diet.  Every day of this is being pointed back to the true comforter.  What do you run to instead of Christ?  For me it is definitely sweets of ALL kinds.  So starting Monday Jan 6th I will be fasting from sugar.  Every time I crave something sweet, I will be going to Christ through prayer, bible study, or worship ( and let me tell you that girl scout cookie season is upon us and this is going to be challenging!!).  I signed up the website...
