God has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and mama to my littles. Join with me on my motherhood journey as I seek to encourage moms and point them to Christ.

"YOU are the one person in the world that has the most influence on your children’s eternity!"
The most important prayer request on the heart of a Christian parent is that their children will come to know Christ as their personal Saviour. Leading them to Christ can feel like a daunting task, but we must remember that God loves our children even more than we do, and He desires that they come to know Him!
Sarah Boots from Faithful and Flourishing joins me to share God's heart for the salvation of our children and practical ways that we, as mamas, can guide their hearts to Him.
Sarah shares...
- God's heart for your children
- How to lead your children to Jesus
- How to live a real faith in front of your children
- How to invite your children to Jesus
- How to share the gospel with our children

Psalm 127:4 "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth."
Every Christian is called to spiritual warfare, using two scriptural weapons: the sword (the Word of God) and the arrow (children, Psalm 127:4). Simeon and I discuss how arrows—our children—must be prepared, aimed, and fired to reach their potential. As Christian parents, we prepare and aim our children in their youth, then release them to fight the good fight of faith.
Scriptures Referenced:
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Psalm 127:4-5
Proverbs 22:6
Matthew 4:1-11
Ephesians 6:12, 17

There are different stages in the life of a woman. While I'm still in the reproductive years, I know the perimenopause/menopause stage is on the horizon. As I learn about how God created the female body, I am fascinated! The later season of womanhood can be one that women approach with fear and dread, but do we have to?
While reading Hormone Repair Manual by Dr. Lara Briden, I gleaned so much information on that coming season of life as well as things I can do today to set myself for future health success.
Join me as I discuss the importance of...
- Nervous System Regulation
- Exercising, Stregnth Building, and Getting Outside
- Getting Sunshine
- Nourishing Your Body with Whole Foods
- Prioritizing Good Sleep

Whaterver my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
Years ago I heard the story behind the writing of this hymn. Having my eyes opened to the heartbreaking circumstances that led to the writing of this beautiful hymn would change me. I realized that there is rich depth to the hymns we sing in worship. This changed how I worshipped the Lord through song. I began to see God's character shining through hymns I had sung since my childhood.
Join me as we glean truth and encouragement from this beloved hymn of the faith.
