Message in the park update, my dream, and volunteering
There is power in the Word, and our family's new ventures
I'm so excited to share with you the new ventures we are getting into. And about my super powerful message, I'm going to giving really soon at a local city park. Can't wait to see what God will do through me and the message He has given me!!! There is great power in the Word!!!
But are we willing to let it change us? Are we ready to be set free from addictions and the things that want to hold us down and keep us back from everything God has for us? Are you longing for more and peace in your life?

Being lovers of truth and setting that example for our children, plus more great spiritual insights
In this episode, I introduce my youtube series that I'm in the process of doing on the 7th day Sabbath, the 10 commandments, the day of Jesus' resurrection, as well as certain holidays and traditions. I'm calling this series Desiring Truth. There is so much misconception around these topics and it's my desire to help reveal the truth on this. And draw us all closer to the heart of God. It's so important and vital to know the truth on these subjects and on anything because God is the God of truth and we are to worship God in Spirit and in truth. I also take about how we are to put off the things of this world putting off the old man and putting on the new man. Having a new focus, new priorities, new interests. I pray this is a blessing and encouragement to you as you grow closer to the heart of God. For more great resources please visit my website and blog. Mae Renfroe www.maerenfroe.com
Want to hear from God? Talk to God and He will talk to you
Fellow moms, God desires and longs to have a relationship with each one of us personally. And when we Draw close to God He will draw close to us. Come along and join me on this episode of the podcast as I dig into scripture about seeking God and how we can have a closer and more intimate relationship with Him and how we can hear from Him.

Raising mission minded children that have a heart for heart the Unreached.
I can't say I have the answers to raising mission-minded children because this has not been my focus over the years, nor sadly wasn't what had been a part of my own personal life nor what I felt we needed to be training our children in. Missions and being missionaries were for others.
That’s not who we were or what we did. We just lived our lives for God and kept our faith much to ourselves or at least was not out evangelizing as missionaries that was not our call. But recently I have been very convicted in this area.
The great commission is a command for all. And I feel it is definitely something we need to be doing ourselves and raising our children to be mission-minded. How do we expect them to care about the lost and unreached if they don’t see that care in us the parents and showing them by example? They will just follow our footsteps of living their lives very much just for themselves.
. I unpack this in further detail in this podcast, and I also share with you mission-minded podcasts that have been very inspiring to me.

Be that mom - it's a new season!
I'm so excited to announce our new and exciting season in our podcast. As well as our new podcast name, and how it all came about.
As new parents, our early years of parenting were not ideal, but I love how God can turn things around and bring something beautiful out of our messes and failures.
Come along join me this new season of the podcast as we together ( yes you & I ) grow closer to God and become that mom that God wants us to be.
In this episode, I refer to these 2 verses.
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
No, we are not perfect and never will be here on earth, but when we truly love God we seek after Him and His ways in our life with all of our being we become more like Him day by day. And our lives reflect Him in the things we do, the things we say, and the way we parent our children.
We just have to stay hungry for more of God in our lives, stay open and teachable, and He will do His good and perfect work in our lives which only He can do, and in turn will bear much fruit.

What to do when there's not enough hours in a day
Feel like you have more than you can keep up? You're not alone.
But here is the good news, relax. You don't have to do it all.
Sometimes the best thing we can do as mothers is simply let some things go. Just don't do it.
When we try to always keep a perfectly weeded garden, perfectly clean house, the laundry always caught up, and amazing meals on the table we run our selves ragged.
We got to learn the art of just leaving stuff for another day and focus on what is more important at the moment which might just be sitting down and reading books with our children.
Too often we moms we try to do more than God ever intended us to do. In Him, Mae For more great resources visit www.maerenfroe.com

Getting along with our brothers and sisters
A fun episode where we talk about getting along with siblings. From time to time children will have scraps and issues with each other, but our goal is to get along as best as we possibly can with each other, and showing our brothers and sisters the kindness and love of God. We read lots of Bible verses about treating each other with kindness, using edifying words, etc.. I'm sure you will enjoy this episode!!
When Loved ones Die -- hope & encouragement for those left to carry on with life.
True beauty - what God wants Godly women to focus on
What the Bible says about true beauty. And what our focus should be on. It's the inner man of a meek and quiet spirit, being clothed in humility, and bearing the fruits of the spirit. So seek after true beauty daily, and may you be blessed and encouraged to seek after the things of God, and not the things of the world1
Time is short - use it wisely
Kids and phones or not
A fun episode where we talk about not having cell phones for the children and what the girls do in their spare time. These gadgets can be so alluring and actually feel like a must-have especially if all of your friends have them, but they can be very powerfully addictive and time-consuming. Yes, there are many more exciting things to do. Our children are proof of that! As a bonus, you will enjoy the girls' songs in this episode.
