Ep. 118: Should Women Be Pastors? (A Chat with Pastor’s Wife, Jenn Witmer)
Today, we’re tackling the hot button topic of whether women should be pastors with my own pastor’s wife, Jenn Witmer. As female pastors and clerics become more common, it’s inevitable that even the most traditional minds will start to question or at least reconsider the historical church’s position on the subject. The real question is: Should we? In this episode, Jenn and I approach the topic with the view of scripture, not culture, as our guide. We hope this episode provides clarity and direction for everyone who listens and gives food for thought as we engage with the hierarchy of responsibility and giftings the Lord has blessed both men and women in ministry with.

Ep. 117: Walking With God When I’m Afraid (A Book Chat with Wit)
This show tackles such a timely topic for children and parents alike: how to approach anxiety from a biblical perspective. My pastor, Rick Witmer, unpacks his very personal story of struggling with crippling anxiety and how the Lord lead him to write a book for children called Walking With God When I’m Afraid. The impetus for this book was one of his children’s anxious tendencies, but everyone who listens will find useful/practical/biblically sound strategies for moments of stress, anxiety, and fear. Be encouraged, friends, that the Lord never leaves us to grapple with our anxiety alone.Guest Info:Rick Witmer: Sylvania Church PastorGo Buy His Book: Walking With God When I'm AfraidDon't Forget to Use the Code: ABBIE25 For 25% Off At Checkout!Bible References:1 Peter 1:32 Timothy 3:16-172 Corinthians 12:92 Corinthians 10:5Romans 12:15Proverbs 4:23Matthew 15:19Deuteronomy 6:6-8Matthew 6:25-342 Corinthians 10:4Philippians 4:4-7Isaiah 26:3Links:The Gentleness ChallengePenny Reward SystemPaint & ProseM Is for MamaPenny Reward System

Ep. 116: The Charlie Kirk Effect
On September 10, all of America (and the western world, at large) was shocked by the violent assassination of Charlie Kirk. Since then, more words and social media posts have been dedicated to his murder than to any other subject in recent history—prompting a wide range of responses. This episode is mine—an attempt to respond to the violent, senseless death of a non-violent man with wisdom that only comes from God’s Word.I pray this episode encourages and challenges you to double down on your commitment to Jesus.

Ep. 114: Veins and Surgery and Blood Clots—Oh My!
Shoowee! Friends! This is not an episode I ever expected to record. In this show, I tell the story of a health scare I experienced the week before You Bet Your Stretch Marks came out—during our first week back to homeschooling and while my husband was out of town.Throughout the ordeal as it developed, it was so evident the Lord’s care and provision was going before me every step of the way. I hope you’ll be encouraged that the Lord cares about the details of your life and truly does work all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
