“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation.

Are your kids getting older? It might be time to start thinking about involving them more in home maintenance! After all, everyone in the family contributes to the mess, so everyone in the family should contribute to the cleanup.
I read a great blog post on Focus On The Family recently, and I wanted to share it with my listeners! Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, I simply created a summary cheatsheet with the recommended chores for different age groups, and on the podcast I talked about my own philosophy on chores and how to add them to your family culture.

Hey Mamma! Are you already stressed over how to coordinate your kid's Easter outfits? Need some ideas to share the importance of the season that go beyond just candy and Easter egg hunts? In today's episode I share some fun ideas that give a twist to your family traditions and breathe new life into your Easter celebrations. If you celebrate Lent and are in the middle of teaching those lessons, these ideas bring you up to the week before Easter. Using object lessons and baking you can share the story of Passover and the week before Jesus' death in some fresh and unique ways. Above all else as you raise your little warriors (and princess warriors) in the faith, I pray these ideas will infuse your holidays with warm family activities that become treasured traditions! You can get the eggs I mention in the podcast here: Resurrection Eggs ( we have a set like these ) Enjoy the holiday and take lots of pictures!! If there is no picture it didn't happen. Just kidding!

EP 92 Kind, Intentional, Incredible Humans Is Just The Start 18:31

18:31

Hey Mama! I know you have great goals for your kids! Who doesn't want to raise kind, loving, gentle, intentionally inclusive, good humans??? But, in today's episode I want to look at the question-Is that enough? It's almost a which came first, the chicken or the egg, discussion. Can we really raise intentional kids without first giving them a foundation on which to stand? How do we lead our children to make Godly choices apart from His Word? If we are not in fellowship with a local body, learning and growing ourselves how do we model that behavior to our children? Is being good, good enough to earn heaven? Listen in to see my take on that question! I'd love to hear what you think as these are my thoughts and beliefs which I hope encourage to see what God's Word has to say!

Add that we take thousands of photos and it quickly becomes a dilemma we don't want to deal with.

EP 88 Authentic Or A Hypocrite? 5 Tips To Consider 19:14

2 years ago19:14

19:14

Hey Sister Friend! Coming at you live from the no judgment zone, I have a serious question to ask, Are you authentic or a hypocrite? Do hypocritical people drive you crazy? Does your "walk" match up with your "talk"? Do you have a social media face but also an at home, fed up face? How do you handle it when you are called out for a behavior, your words or some habit you have? It may be something you have no idea is offensive so you feel blindsided when it's brought to your attention! Or, on the flip side of that coin, maybe you are the one calling out a sin, pointing to a harmful or immature behavior. How do you handle that task? In today's episode we are starting the year off with a hard topic, one sure to get you thinking! If you've experienced a hard conversation, I'd love to get your perspective in the comments below! Did you know I have some free resources over on my website, including a Forever intro account with a bonus $20 coupon.

Hey My Katies! Do you have your Word for the Year yet? One Word....a buzz word and concept in Christian and business circles. Do you find yourself doubting that one word could really change anything in your life? Do you make endless goals and resolutions, but find you forget them 2 weeks later? How about if we just cut to the chase and simplify? No goals. No wish lists. No workouts. Just one word. One simple word with a Scriptural nudge to create laser focus, clarity and empower you. Truly, that is the power of My One Word! I traded in my resolutions long, long ago, but found the "my one word" challenge has changed my character! I look at different aspects of my life: my physical (of course, I'm a woman), mindset, spiritual, financial and relationships. When I focus in on just One Word, it holds fast. It sticks. When you choose your one word, write it down, share it, apply it and live it, your life will become more fulfilling and incredible than ever. Just One Word. Give a listen! I'd love to know your word too btw!

OK my Katies, my Kats, and my fellow procrastinators, Are you struggling with entertaining over Thanksgiving or already freaking out about Christmas? Who needs some last minute, get it all done tips? When you don't have time to backwards plan for weeks and you are pressed to the wire, when do you sleep and how in the world do you get it all done? I feel you sister. As a matter of fact, I am in that very situation as I sit at my moms, 6 hours away from my house that needs to be cleaned, groceries that STILL need to be purchased and an unknown number of guests. BUT, since I have been at this a loooong time, I have some tried and true, spot on tips and tricks that will absolutely let you entertain with a minimum of stress. I'm sharing my 4 Step Plan for Procrastinators to help you enjoy the time you have with family. As a bonus, I have thought of a few more tips that I probably should have included! 4 Step Plan to Entertain without extra Stress: 1- Quickly Declutter. 2- Ready your spaces and clean. 3- Make a menu & shop. 4- Prepare as much as you can in advance and jam out to a motivational playlist. BONUS TIPS: *Think about friends who are single and invite them to join you *Have a sink of hot soapy water to rinse off, wash, wipe and clean as you go. *Delegate, delegate, delegate- which means ask for help! *If using Cool Whip or ice cream for dessert toppings, set out of the freezer as you serve the food. That way it's soft enough to serve when you are ready! *Have guests load their dish straight into your empty diswasher *Get containers or baggies for leftovers. *Consider getting to go containers from a local restaurant (or purchase at the store) to take a plate to someone who is alone, recovering from a sickness or surgery, or shut in.

EP 79 Community Why We Need It and 7 Ways To Find Yours 17:50

2 years ago17:50

17:50

Sisters, If there is one overriding thing the COVID Pandemic did, it was to increase our isolation. The enforced lockdown robbed us of our community. Our sense of belonging. Our ability to see the world as we did before-or BC, before COVID. But, I believe that we were made for community. For seeing the needs of others and being seen. In today's episode we look at a variety of ways to find a community, to model making and being friends to our kids. And then, the value of reaching out to find our place and voice. And, after I had recorded this, my precious niece posted this so I had to copy it! Today one of my neighbors, who has since moved away, called me and said she’d be by in 10 minutes for a cup of coffee so we could catch up. I loved this. My mom and her friends/sisters did life this way. We’d pop in and show up on people’s doorsteps all the time. No time to clean up, to fix your hair, or make your house look perfect, just real life. People would be screaming at their kids or the kitchen would be a mess. They’d throw us a laundry basket or a dish rag and we’d go right along with them as we visited. I always admired how my mom did life this way. It has always made me feel kind of sad when so many people talk about how much they hate when people show up unannounced, but that’s how life really works! That’s how community is created. I get it, it’s inconvenient at times, but maybe we’ve started caring way too much about how things look in our life rather than how our relationships look. Anyways, I love you and you are welcome here any time 💗💗💗 Thank you for this reminder! Now y’all get ready, I may just be stopping by 😂 Here's to being not only in community, but a great community member as well!

Hey Sweet Mama! Kids are back in school, you have a schedule and FINALLY you have some control again! Or not. Enter the hectic scene of the "extras"!

EP 68 The End Times - Are We There Yet? A Look At Some Prophecy Teachings 19:09

3 years ago19:09

19:09

Hey Friends, As we continue with the "Last Days" teaching I wanted to expand a little on what the Bible says the future looks like. I encourage you to "be like a Berean" to figure out what you believe! Do you have a solid handle on what it means when someone talks about the Rapture and the Tribulation Time? Or, have you sworn off end time conversations and study because a "hell fire and brimstone" preacher scared the bee-jeebies out of you when you were a kid? Do you tend to avoid studying books of the Bible like Revelation and Ezekiel? It's easy be too busy to tackle topics related to Bible prophecy with an attitude of "well it's just too complicated." Today, we are going to do ask some questions, look at some passages and hopefully do a high level overview of what the Rapture is and when it happens on the Biblical timeline of prophecy! Did you know I have freebies for you over on my website? Don't miss our study looking at the Proverbs 31 woman! It's pretty cool and goes right along with today's episode.

Hey Friends, I love bringing in a little juicy topic now and then to encourage you to "be like a Berean" to figure out what you believe! Do you have a solid handle on what it means when someone talks about the Rapture? Feel confused because that actual word isn't in Scripture? (Hint: neither is the Trinity, but...) Or, have you sworn off end time conversations and study because a "hell fire and brimstone" preacher scared the bee-jeebies out of you when you were a kid? Do you tend to avoid studying books of the Bible like Revelation and Ezekiel? It's easy be too busy to tackle topics related to Bible prophecy with an attitude of "well it's just too complicated."
