60 | Feel Like You’re Failing as a Homemaker? Where Is God in This Season?

About this episode

Amanda Carlin shares her personal journey through challenging seasons of homemaking and the importance of faith during difficult times.

Have you ever looked around your home or homestead and thought… this isn’t what I imagined it would feel like? Maybe things feel messy, overwhelming, or just plain heavy right now. Maybe you’re in a season where the work feels harder, your energy feels lower, and you’re quietly wondering if you’re doing something wrong. I’ve been there too. In this episode, I’m sharing a more personal side of my journey—walking through seasons where my homestead didn’t feel peaceful, where my body felt off, and where I found myself trying to fix everything instead of resting in the Lord. We’re talking about that gap between the dream and reality… and what it actually looks like to have faith right in the middle of it. Not when everything is working. Not when everything feels calm. But when it’s messy. This episode isn’t about systems or solutions. It’s about coming back to the truth that God is still present here—and learning what obedience looks like when life feels out of control. If you’ve been feeling discouraged, stretched thin, or questioning your calling, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath for your soul. Come sit with me for a few minutes, and let’s walk through this together.~~…
