Turn Down the Noise with Sarah Boyd
Sarah Boyd's book "Turn Down the Noise" addresses the neural breakdown that happens when we are overwhelmed, distracted, and depleting our pre-frontal cortex. It is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Sarah about the limitations of our brain, the costs of devices on parents and children, the importance of rest, and 5 principles to reverse degenerating attention span, reduce distraction, and restore mental peace.  Sarah presents the overwhelm inherent in modern life as the missing piece when we are examining dysfunction in our life that maybe counselling, better food, or more sleep isn't fixing. Also, the future needs children who are imaginative and creative, and these are skills that are developed in space and quiet not through reams of work and activities.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

Grace and Addictions with Ian Morgan Cron
Ian Morgan Cron, author of Chasing Francis and Jesus, My Father, the CIA and Me, joins Jennifer Pepito to discuss his newest book The Fix. It is a beautiful book about healing addictions and the spiritual growth that can be found through the 12 step program.  So often in Christian culture, we are quick to categorise addictions as the painfully obvious like alcohol, porn, food addictions, anger, but co-dependency on our spouses or our children, addiction to control, addiction to negative thinking, to complaining are also addictions. All of these can shroud our lives in a grey weightiness, damage our relationships, and steal our joy.

Live Not by Lies with Emily Wilson Hussem
Emily Wilson Hussem, author of Sincerely, Stoneheart, joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about the lies plaguing women, why it matters that we carve out quiet time, protect our mothering time from distractions, and learn to walk in the truth of what God says about you.  As women, we have beautiful, fertile imaginations, and it is what allows us to see our children as future doctors, creators, homesteaders, and lovers of God. The downside of the imagination is that it makes us more susceptible to believing lies and meditating on fearful things. Emily and Jennifer both share their story with fear and the ways they are pursuing the truth of what God says about who they are, and allowing His Words to define their thoughts and feelings rather than the enemy.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

Heartfelt Obedience with Emelie Pepito
Heartfelt obedience to God and those in authority over us, is one of the powerful sanctifiers of a believer and joyful obedience is a powerful outcome of our love for Christ. (John 14:15).  But it is scary; the connotation is negative, and many of us are scarred by it, or are so protective of our happiness, dreams, ideal world that obedience at the cost of any of these is an untenable prospect. Even though some broken people have ruined "obedience", this does not give us the right to reject the practice or virtue of obedience in our personal lives. Where do we go from here though, how do we practice obedience? How do we train children in obedience while being attuned and tender parents? More importantly, how do we heal our hearts around obedience?  Episode 132 with Emelie Pepito is full of stories from the arc of obedience in the Pepito family, the comfort of God as we grow in obedience, and being the leader you want to have.  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

Sustained Joy with Emelie Pepito
The majority of our life is lived not on the mountain tops or in the harvest, but in the sustained and steadfast toil that tends to the gardens and climbs the mountains. It is in the plodding toil that we are most likely to lose joy, focus, or find our purpose eroded across the grind of every-day reality, decision making, squabbling children, disappointment and loneliness. However, as Christians' steadfast joy is part of our inheritance, if we are willing to lay hold of it.  "Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10 Episode 129 with Emelie Pepito is full of practical ways we can grow our sustained joy. It ranges from learning to keep promises to ourselves so we can ensure a sense of security for ourselves, to prioritising hugs from our husbands, to having the self-discpline to cut things out that steal our joy, and protect our body from dopamine crashes, inflammation, and sleeplessness.
