Overcoming Homemaker Comparison by Creating Beauty in Your Home
Maybe you don't live in your dream house, but you can make ugly spaces beautiful! What if you are where you are to bring beauty to a place that has been neglected. We have moved A LOT but every place we've lived we have had the mindset that we are bringing heaven to Earth by leaving this space more beautiful than we found it. God is the creator of beauty and we are created in His image, so of course we are also made to create beauty around us. And if you look around at popular society and it's rebellion against all things beautiful, it's more important now than ever that we as Christians make it our duty to honor God by stewarding the places He has given us well. It's easy to fall into the comparison trap, but a way to overcome comparision is by working with your hands. Stop looking at everyone around you are on the screens, and get to work making your space lovely. Close your eyes, what would beauty look like to you in your current space? How can you use the resources you have to create beauty around you right now? Pray and ask God to direct your steps in creating beauty around you. He is faithful! I pray this podcast encourages you!

A Homemaker Learning to Wear Dresses: An Update
I've been a homemaker for 6 years and the last 3 years I have been learning how to wear dresses. I know that may sound silly to some, but as someone who grew up playing sports and felt dresses were for formal events only, it has taken some time for me to get over this idea I had in my mind that I look awkward in dresses! I do feel I am on the other side of it, and I hope sharing my story will encourage you if you find yourself in a similar place of trying to learn how to wear dresses.

Biblical Femininity and the Problem with College
Pursuing biblical femininity means being honest about how today's popular culture is counter to family formation and biblical morals and gender roles. I hope this video is helpful in fleshing out the real problems of modern university... times have changed and college isn't a wholesome place. It's a tool used to train girls in the ways that they will not depart which is explicitly urban debt/consumerism and career at the cost of marriage and motherhood.
