If you are trying to figure out how to navigate the tricky tightrope of parenting while you have questions, doubts and wonderings about your spiritual journey, this podcast is for you. It doesn't matter if your kids are smalls, middles, or bigs.

We will also work through ideas for reconstructing a space for our families to thrive under new systems of love and freedom. We can't wait to bring you some hope that you are not alone and that it's really okay, even good, to explore all the possibilities that may have felt closed off in the past. This podcast will offer you grace and space to be exactly where you are and who you are. We are glad you are here.

Get Your Spark Back - Rachel Marie Martin
“Your soul is waiting for you to say yes to it again.” Rachel Marie Martin
Our episode this week is with Rachel Marie Martin, the ever-popular social media site called "Finding Joy." She is the author of three books, the biological mom of seven, the bonus mom to four and the daughter of church planters.
Rachel has a fierce passion to be vulnerable and tell her story in all its "rawness." Why is she so raw? Because that’s her heart and in sharing she hopes you too unearth and celebrate your own bravery, story and purpose.
If you feel like you have lost your "spark" or don't know if you are allowed to or find yourself unable to truly experience joy, this podcast episode is for you.
Some of the topics we explore are these:
- Rediscovering your spark, especially for those of us who feel lost or stuck in your own story.
- What a "soul map" is and how to create it.
- How we can get our spark backin the midst of wiping baby butts and driving kids all over creation.
- Wisdom for those who are just feeling so overwhelmed in their day-to-day.
- Helping our kids to love their own story and embrace who they are early on, perhaps fanning their “spark” so they never lose it.
Our favorite words from this podcast episode were things like "soul map" and "unstuck" and "brave" "wondering." Find out why when you listen.
