  • What Creation Teaches Us About Finding Rest (Episode 589)
    In a world that prizes hustle and constant productivity, breaking the habit of hurry can seem far-fetched. Yet we still try to achieve it with life hacks to get more sleep and increase energy. However, self-help strategies are not the solution to our exhaustion problem.  Today, Eryn Lynum joins me to talk about what it looks like to move away from the hurry and toward the rest that God has for us.  This episode will be balm for your soul!   Resources mentioned in this episode: Link to podcast episode search bar Raising Boys to Men Book Raising Boys to Men Audiobook The Unhurried Homeschooler The Unhurried Homeschooler Audiobook Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart The Four-Hour School Day The Nature of Rest: What the Bible and Creation Teach Us About Sabbath Living Host of the podcast for kids: Nat Theo: Nature Lessons Rooted in the Bible Illustrated Children's Chapter Book Coming in the fall of 2026 (New Growth Press) Author of "Rooted in Wonder: Nurturing Your Family’s Faith Through God’s Creation" (Kregel, 2023) Author of "936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting" (Bethany House, 2018) ErynLynum.com Instagram.com/erynlynumauthor Facebook.com/authorerynlynum Linkedin

  • Rethinking Our Fear of Death (588)
    Most of us have at least some fear of death. Our culture is obsessed with it but without a remedy. However, it's a completely different story for Believers! Pastor Wes reminded me recently that Jesus has authority over sin and death and death is our servant because we belong to Jesus. One of my listeners heard me talk about this and asked if I would have Wes on the podcast to dive deeper into this topic. I'm delighted that he agreed to do that and he's here today to help us reframe our experiences according to God's word and align our thinking about death with what Christ has transformed it into.  Resources mentioned in this episode: Link to podcast episode search bar Raising Boys to Men Book Raising Boys to Men Audiobook The Unhurried Homeschooler The Unhurried Homeschooler Audiobook Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart The Four-Hour School Day Give Send Go (link to my fundraiser)  Venmo-@Durenda-Wilson Scriptures mentioned: 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 Romans 8:38-39 Quote read in this episode: “ I think I find most help in trying to look on all the interruptions and hindrances to work that one has planned out for oneself as discipline, trials sent by God to help one against getting selfish over one’s work. Then one can feel that perhaps one’s true work—one’s work for God—consists in doing some trifling haphazard thing that has been thrown into one’s day. It is not a waste of time, as one is tempted to think, it is the most important part of the work of the day—the part one can best offer to God. After such a hindrance, do not rush after the planned work; trust that the time to finish it will be given sometime, and keep a quiet heart about it.” (Annie Keary, 1825-1879)

  • Meeting Common Challenges in Trials and Afflictions (Podcast 587)
    Many of us are in the midst of trials and afflictions and with that comes 2 common struggles: Not feeling loved by God and Losing Our Sense of Purpose.  In today's episode, I share some things the Lord has encouraged me with in the midst of my own trials.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Link to podcast episode search bar Raising Boys to Men Book Raising Boys to Men Audiobook The Unhurried Homeschooler The Unhurried Homeschooler Audiobook Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart The Four-Hour School Day Give Send Go (link to my fundraiser) Ecclesiastes Series: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2lpOv8MddcJqkrXz11L8i2?si=4xx0ZkDMS660haf-b9n3Ng   Venmo-@Durenda-Wilson Great is Thy Faithfulness Great is thy faithfulness, O God, my Father; There is no shadow of turning with thee. Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not; As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be. Great is thy faithfulness, Great is thy faithfulness, Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hand hast provided; Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.  Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.  Ecc. 9:7 Romans 8:35,37-39 He Giveth More Grace Listen Here 1. He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength as our labors increase; To added afflictions He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials He multiplies peace. 2. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father’s full giving is only begun. 3. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision, Our God ever yearns His resources to share; Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing; The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. 4. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.
