Our Favorite Habits to Strengthen Faith with Kyle Worley
I was reading an article the other day. It was saying you become like the sum of your 5 closest friends. The things that we think about, talk about, and watch shape us more deeply than we are aware most of the time. I think the podcasts we listen to and tv we watch also would apply to this. In fact, I so deeply believe this I recently deleted a bunch of shows I listen to because I think the messages and language it was using were starting to affect the words I reach for when I don't know what to say. Today I'm talking to Kyle Worley about how what we expose ourselves to transforms our lives. Kyle is a host of the wildly popular "Knowing Faith Podcast" and Author of "Formed for Fellowship." What is a way that you have noticed yourself being formed by who you are around, for good or bad? How do we start becoming aware of what is shaping us? How do we start creating a vision for our life and family based on Biblical truth? What are some of your favorite family rhythms, and who influenced you to pick them up?

Speak Words That Heal, Not Hurt Your Kids with Amy Hughes
As parents, we know the words we say matter so much. But in the heat of the moment, many parents still find that angry or degrading words come pouring out. After these moments, hot tears of repentance stream down cheeks, and oaths are sworn. It will never happen again. Amy is a mother of nine, parenting coach, and writer in the Wild and Free community. She and I are going to explore how God's grace can cover angry words and how that grace can transform the words we speak. -From a child psychology perspective, why do the words that parents speak matter so much? Can it affect our kids' anxiety and depression? -What are some of the most damaging words and phrases a parent can use? -How do we repair when we've found we've used those words again? -In what way do we need to see ourselves to change the way we speak? -Does the way we talk to ourselves matter? (How does seeing ourselves held in grace matter?) -If a woman is starting to feel heavy with the thought of watching every little word that comes out of her mouth, what hope do you have to offer her?

Are Catechisms Just for Catholics? with Leah Nicklaus of Living Bright Homeschool
The number one thing I get asked when I share about memorizing the catechism is "Wait... I didn't know you were Catholic." Trying to explain that there are many kinds of catechisms and we use a Protestant one leaves even more questions. That's sad to me because teaching my kids the catechism has become one of the most formative faith practices I've had. Today I'm talking to Leah Nicklaus. She is a fellow mom of only boys who homeschools in the classical/Charlotte Mason method. She has hundreds of gospel-centered book recommendations and resources! I've come to love chatting with her because we share so much in common, including how valuable we find the catechism to be. -How has catechism helped you and your family? -When did you first discover the catechism? How would you define it? -Which catechism do you like best? -How do you include it in other discipleship practices? What does discipleship look like in your family? -Have you found the catechism to help your faith? -What are other family discipleship practices that work for you? You can find Leah Nicklaus here!

Practical Ideas for Studying the Bible with Katie Orr
My walk with God has looked so different in different stages of my life, or do we call it Eras now? But in every one of the new stages of life, I have found myself encouraged by hearing the way other people practice their faith. Today I'm talking to Katie Orr, Bible Teacher and Bible study writer. We are going to compare and contrast what our spiritual walk looked like as we were kids, how it developed through having our own kids, and how it's shifted as Bible teachers. I hope as you listen, you can take and add the practices that feel encouraging to you, and leave what doesn't fit for another season. In this episode, we cover:Childhood devotional habits and family Bible reading traditionsHow to make your faith your own in your teen yearsWhat to do when you feel like walking away from faithCreative ways to connect with God during busy motherhoodTransitioning from survival mode to pouring into othersEncouragement for adapting your spiritual practices as life changesWe are both participating in a "Bible Study Bundle" available just this week. In it, you'll get a couple of the Bible studies we discussed during this episode, and many, many more! You can Katie Orr at this link!

Welcome to Sunshine in my Nest Podcast! I'm your host Elizabeth Santelmann. I hope these chats with our mentors about gospel-centered living will equip and inspire you to grow spiritually, love your family, and invest in your local community!
Through the conversations with these women of faith I’ve learned to pray and trust God's plans are good for me. I've grown in empathy, obedience to God’s will, patience with my kids, skills to disciple my kids, and reflected on how my day to day life impacts my faith walk. I pray that listening will do the same for you!
