| 5/25/26 | Busyness Is Not Godliness: Finding Rest in Christ | Life feels full for so many of us. There are responsibilities to manage, people to care for, work to do, ministries to serve in, and homes to tend. And while those things are often good gifts from the Lord, busyness and faithfulness are not always the same thing. Sharing some encouragement from God’s Word for those seasons when life begins to feel hurried and spiritually weary, when our hearts slowly become distracted in the middle of full days. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to slow down a bit, rest in Christ, and become more present in the people and moments the Lord has placed right in front of you.

| 5/12/26 | What Does It Mean to Be the Aroma of Christ? (2 Corinthians 2:14–16) | I’ve been spending time in 2 Corinthians 2:14–16, where Paul says that as believers we are the aroma of Christ. It’s such a beautiful and sobering picture to think about how our lives, our words, our attitudes, and even the atmosphere of our homes are meant to reflect Him. In this episode, we talk about what it means to carry the fragrance of Christ in the ordinary moments of everyday life. The hidden faithfulness, the quiet sacrifices, the ways the Lord is shaping us through our daily work, our relationships, and even the moments where we feel our need for His grace most deeply. This was such a good reminder to my own heart that the gospel is not just for the big moments of life. We need it right in the middle of our ordinary Tuesday afternoons too. I pray this episode encourages you to keep looking to Christ and to remember that the Lord is faithfully at work in all the everyday moments of life at home.Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.

| 5/27/25 | Preparing a Place of Peace and Joy: The Life-Giving Role of a Christian Homemaker | Homemaking is so much more than just cooking and cleaning—it’s about creating the atmosphere of our homes. In today’s shorter devotional episode, I’m sharing a refreshed blog post that reminds us of the life-giving role the Lord has entrusted to us as Christian women. True peace in our homes doesn’t come from having everything just right or crossing off our to-do list. It comes from Christ reigning in our hearts. The more we abide in Him—through His Word, prayer, and obedience—the more His peace flows into how we love and serve our families.

| 3/25/25 | Walking in Wisdom: Living with an Eternal Perspective | What does it mean to walk in wisdom with eternity in view? So much of life is fleeting, but God calls us to set our hearts on what will last forever (Colossians 3:1-2). In this final episode of the Walking in Wisdom series, we’re stepping back to see the bigger picture—how wisdom not only guides our daily decisions but prepares us for eternity. ✅ Are we investing in what truly lasts—knowing Christ, growing in holiness, and pointing others to Him? ✅ Are we storing up treasures in heaven instead of being consumed by what will fade away? ✅ Are we living in light of eternity, keeping our eyes on Jesus? Jesus reminds us: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). This is about more than just wise choices for today—it’s about shaping our lives for eternity.

| 3/18/25 | Walking in Wisdom: Practical Steps for Everyday Faith | This is the second episode in our Walking in Wisdom series, where we’re looking at how biblical wisdom shapes the way we live each day. Wisdom isn’t just for the big decisions—it’s for the small, everyday choices that shape our lives. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to walk in wisdom in our daily routines, responsibilities, and relationships. How do we choose faithfulness over busyness? How can we speak with wisdom and listen with grace? What does it look like to seek God’s priorities in the middle of everyday life? Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to “look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time.” If you’ve ever felt stretched thin or overwhelmed, I pray this conversation encourages you to pause, seek the Lord, and trust that He will direct your steps.

| 3/11/25 | Walking in Wisdom: Living Wisely in a Distracting World | Wisdom isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about living in a way that honors the Lord in our daily choices. In a world full of distractions, how do we stay focused on what truly matters? In this episode, we begin a three-part series on Walking in Wisdom, looking at what biblical wisdom really is, how it differs from worldly wisdom, and how we can seek the Lord’s guidance in our everyday lives. We’ll explore Ephesians 5:15-16, where Paul urges us to walk carefully, making the best use of our time because the days are evil. Are we measuring our days by how much we accomplish, or by our faithfulness to the Lord? Are we seeking wisdom in the small, ordinary moments of life? Join me as we lay the foundation for walking in wisdom, trusting God’s Word to guide our steps.

| 2/18/25 | Thinking the Best of Others: A Biblical Approach to Love and Grace | It's so easy to assume the worst about others—to misread a friend’s words, question someone’s motives, or let suspicion take root in our hearts. But 1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us that love “believes all things” and “hopes all things.” What does that look like in daily life? It’s not about ignoring wisdom or discernment, but about extending grace, choosing trust over doubt, and reflecting the love of Christ in how we think about and respond to others. In this episode, we discuss why believing the best matters, why it’s often difficult, and how we can live this out in marriage, friendships, parenting, and church life. There’s freedom in choosing grace over suspicion, and it builds trust and unity in our relationships. My prayer is that this conversation encourages all of us to ask the Lord to shape our hearts to reflect His love more fully.
