- We’re back with season 4 of the M is for Mama podcast, and we’re kicking it off with one of my favorite people, Jennifer Flanders.
In this episode, we chat about all things “village” in motherhood.
It’s no secret that moms need help, but the ultimate question is from where? And what do we do when we’re in seasons of little or no help from our community?
We tackle these questions (and lots more) with personal experience and, so much more importantly, truth from God’s Word.
Whether your mom lives down the street and comes over every day to help or you live 500 miles from your closest family member and don’t even have a reliable babysitter you can pay, be encouraged that the Lord’s strength is sufficient for all He has called you to, and that strength is perfected, not diminished, in your weakness.

M Is for Mama - In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we’re sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren’t you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You’ll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we’re so glad you’re here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.

M Is for Mama - You asked, we’re answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in.
I’ve invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2).
For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin’s responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church.
Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory).
We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion.
Enjoy!

M Is for Mama - We know we’re supposed to read the Bible with our kids. But sometimes, we overlook the why of its importance. In this episode, Melissa and Michael Kruger approach the topic of family devotionals in a way that makes it seem doable—because it is! It’s not about perfection but instead intention. And with their new book. The Good News Family Devotional, they’ve created a resource that walks parents through the process of teaching God’s Word (in this case, the gospel of Mark) to our children. Our best advice? Just start somewhere, and then stay the course, trusting the Lord to direct your path and sustain you every step of the way.
