In this episode, I welcome to the show Christian author and speaker Kelly Needham to talk about the privilege of spending time alone with God.

We chat about what solitude means, Kelly’s journey in embracing time alone with God, and the main obstacles that keep us from engaging with God on our own.

Kelly also shares some great tips for moms for developing the practice of solitude and how we can teach our children to develop the practice of solitude.

In this month's episode, I chat to wife, mama, and author, Emily Darnell, about the concept of Abiding in Christ.

We cover the following questions: What does Abiding in Christ actually mean? What is the role of the Scripture and the Holy Spirit in helping us abide in Christ? How can we abide in Christ as busy mamas? How can we teach our children how to abide in Him?

Meet Emily:

She earned her Masters of Arts in Philosophical Theology, and worked in Student Affairs at a University for 10 years.
