We're three generations of moms who have experienced nearly every season of motherhood. We don’t have all the answers, but you can be sure that we’ll always point you to the One who does.
Ep. 110: Raising Kids in an Age of Cultural Relativism
In a culture where the lines between right and wrong often seem blurred, our children are being bombarded with messages of “my truth” and cultural relativism. As Christian moms, it can feel overwhelming to teach our kids to stand firm in God’s absolute truth when the world says otherwise. But here’s the good news—we’re not alone in this journey!
In this episode of the Mom to Mom Podcast, Kate, September and Jamie dive deep into raising kids in an age of cultural relativism. We explore how to equip ourselves and our children with biblical values that don’t change with the shifting culture. We talk about practical tips for every age group, how to address tough issues like gender and identity, and how to have those important conversations that will strengthen your child’s faith in the face of opposing beliefs.
It’s not easy, but it’s crucial. Romans 12:2 reminds us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds and not to conform to the patterns of this world. We’ll show you how to apply this truth as you guide your kids to discern what is good, acceptable, and perfect in God’s eyes.
Tune in to be encouraged and equipped as you to raise strong, faith-filled kids in a culture that often rejects truth. Let’s pass on the torch of faith to the next generation!

Ep. 109: Beyond Control: Embracing the Unexpected in Parenting
Moms, we’ve all been there—the moments when we want to step in, fix everything, and control every detail of our kids’ lives. But what happens when we can’t? When their paths take unexpected turns, or their choices challenge our expectations?
In Episode 109 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, we’re diving into Embracing the Unexpected in Parenting. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about what it really means to let go of the need to control every aspect of our children’s journeys—even when they make decisions we don’t agree with. It’s about learning to surrender in all seasons of their lives, trusting that God is at work, even when the path looks different than we imagined.
From trusting God’s plan to finding peace in the challenges we never saw coming, we’ll share practical tips on how to release control and allow God to work through the unexpected. 1 Peter 5:7
If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this episode is for you. We explore how to support our children with love and faith, without micromanaging their lives—because surrendering them to God’s care can lead to a deeper peace for us, too.
Tune in for real talk, encouragement, and a reminder that we don’t have to have all the answers to trust in God’s perfect plan.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7

Ep. 108: Developing Spiritual Patience and Endurance
We are living in a world of quick fixes and instant everything. In just a few clicks, we can have nearly anything we want in less than 24 hours. We want it fast, and we want it now.
But God isn’t in a hurry, and as we grow in our relationship with Him, we have to learn to trust His timing in everything, no matter how long it takes.
As moms, how do we resist the urge to expect immediate results in both our spiritual lives and with parenting our kids?
How do we model it, teaching them to trust God’s timing?
Our culture is speeding up, but He’s calling us to slow down and do the opposite of what the world is doing.
So, how do we learn to slow down and trust His timing in a world shouting at us to hurry up?
Join Kate, September, and Jamie as we share what has helped us develop spiritual patience and endurance for the long haul of parenting.
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage. Wait for the Lord." -Psalm 27:14

Ep. 65: Finding the "Smart" in Your Child with Dr. Kathy Koch
Raising children who love to learn is a goal of just about every parent but not every parent believes they have the tools to do it properly. But, by learning how to identify your child’s innate smarts, parents will have a unique advantage and a leg up on helping their kids recognize that they really are smart, no matter what the circumstances say. How children view themselves is so important! And as parents, we can help them view themselves correctly.
