Ep. 154: Does It Really Take a Village? (A Chat with Jennifer Flanders)
We’re back with season 4 of the M is for Mama podcast, and we’re kicking it off with one of my favorite people, Jennifer Flanders. In this episode, we chat about all things “village” in motherhood.It’s no secret that moms need help, but the ultimate question is from where? And what do we do when we’re in seasons of little or no help from our community?We tackle these questions (and lots more) with personal experience and, so much more importantly, truth from God’s Word. Whether your mom lives down the street and comes over every day to help or you live 500 miles from your closest family member and don’t even have a reliable babysitter you can pay, be encouraged that the Lord’s strength is sufficient for all He has called you to, and that strength is perfected, not diminished, in your weakness.

Ep. 153: A Candid Q&A About Catholicism—Part 2 (with Pastor Rick Witmer)
In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we’re sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren’t you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You’ll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we’re so glad you’re here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.Bible References:Ephesians 2:8-10Hebrews 13:8John 19:30Ephesians 2:92 Corinthians 5:21James 2:17Philippians 2:12John 13:35John 14:15-31Hebrews 10:111 Peter 3:18Romans 14:5Romans 6:12Matthew 6:16-18Matthew 6:9-13Hebrews 10:142 Corinthians 5:89Luke 23:43Isaiah 6:51 Corinthians 2:9Romans 7Romans 8:12 Peter 2:31 Corinthians 2Galatians 1:6-8Mark 1:14-151 Corinthians 15Matthew 9:23-25Revelations 21:5Hebrews 11Luke 1:46-55Luke 2:11Mark 102 Timothy 3:16-17Matthew 17:1-82 Thessalonians 2 :15Isaiah 55:111 Corinthians 11-14Galatians 6:14Links:The Gentleness ChallengePenny Reward SystemPaint & ProseM Is for Mama

Ep. 152: A Candid Q&A about Catholicism—Part 1 (with Pastor Rick Witmer)
You asked, we’re answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I’ve invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin’s responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!
