Ep. 116: The Slow Fade: Guarding Against Spiritual Drift in Your Home
Spiritual drift doesn’t happen all at once—it’s the little things, the subtle shifts, the busyness that sneaks in and quietly pulls our hearts, and sometimes our families, away from Christ. In Episode 116 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, September invites us to take a closer look at these small but significant moments and ask the big question: how can we keep our homes anchored in God’s truth amidst the chaos of life?
We talk about recognizing the quiet signs of spiritual drift, why seemingly small compromises—like skipped prayer times or misplaced priorities—can add up, and how we can create practical routines to keep faith alive in our homes. From morning devotionals to dinner-table conversations and even tech-free evenings, we’re breaking it all down into simple, actionable steps.
What happens if spiritual drift has already taken hold? We’re sharing grace-filled ways to lovingly guide your family back to Christ without shame or discouragement.
Mama, if you’ve ever felt like your family’s faith has been slowly fading, this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: small, intentional steps can make all the difference. Let’s talk about how we can keep Christ at the center—one moment, one habit, one prayer at a time.
Let’s walk this journey together and pursue hearts and homes firmly grounded in God’s truth. 💛

Ep. 114: Raising Daughters
🌸 Raising Daughters in Today’s Culture 🌸
Our daughters are growing up in a world unlike any we’ve ever known—one where social media and the internet shape much of their daily lives. As moms, we’re on a mission to equip them to walk in faith, pursue purity, and delight in a life that honors God.
In this episode, we’re diving into the tough questions:
✨ How can we help our girls navigate the lies of the culture while building a passion for holiness?
✨ How do we teach them to value home without devaluing their giftings and future callings?
✨ And how do we protect their hearts in a world saturated with comparison, competition, and chaos?
Join us for an honest and hope-filled conversation on how to raise girls who shine God’s light in a dark world. Let’s lean into Titus 2, 1 Timothy 4:12, and 1 Corinthians 6:20 as we uncover practical ways to inspire and guide the next generation of women to stand firm in truth.

Ep. 112: Loving the Prodigal: Walking in Hope When Your Child Chooses a Different Path
How do we keep hope alive when our child’s path doesn’t look like the one we envisioned? In this week’s episode, we’re opening our hearts to the struggle of loving unconditionally and holding onto faith—even when our child questions, doubts, or drifts.
Here’s what we’re diving into:
💬 How do we balance unconditional love with firm, loving boundaries?
🙏 When hope feels fragile, what promises of God do we cling to?
🤲 Practical ways to surrender our children’s journey to God, trusting His plan.
With verses like 2 Peter 3:9 and 3 John 1:4 guiding us, this episode is a reminder that while we wait, God works. Even in the waiting, we’re not alone. 🌱
And as Kate Battistelli says: “God’s dare often feels risky because it’s outside our control, but He reminds us to be patient in the waiting, knowing that the story isn’t over yet.”
Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and join us for a conversation filled with encouragement, wisdom, and love that never lets go. Tune in now to the Mom to Mom podcast and bring a friend who might need this message too! ❤️
