Ep. 103: Christians and Fertility (A Chat with Pastor Wit—Part 1) Abbie Halberstadt 2025-04-09 | In this episode, Pastor Wit and I tackle one of my most requested topics: How to approach issues like childbearing, birth control, infertility, IVF, and so much more from a biblical perspective. Our goal is to equip, encourage, and exhort fellow believers to think about each of these topics from a place of prioritizing God’s Word, rather than cultural influences or man’s wisdom. We pray this episode is a useful tool to every Christian who finds him/herself grappling with how to approach fertility with integrity and righteousness.

Ep. 153: A Candid Q&A About Catholicism—Part 2 (with Pastor Rick Witmer) Abbie Halberstadt 2026-06-24 | In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we’re sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren’t you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You’ll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we’re so glad you’re here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.Bible References:Ephesians 2:8-10Hebrews 13:8John 19:30Ephesians 2:92 Corinthians 5:21James 2:17Philippians 2:12John 13:35John 14:15-31Hebrews 10:111 Peter 3:18Romans 14:5Romans 6:12Matthew 6:16-18Matthew 6:9-13Hebrews 10:142 Corinthians 5:89Luke 23:43Isaiah 6:51 Corinthians 2:9Romans 7Romans 8:12 Peter 2:31 Corinthians 2Galatians 1:6-8Mark 1:14-151 Corinthians 15Matthew 9:23-25Revelations 21:5Hebrews 11Luke 1:46-55Luke 2:11Mark 102 Timothy 3:16-17Matthew 17:1-82 Thessalonians 2 :15Isaiah 55:111 Corinthians 11-14Galatians 6:14Links:The Gentleness Challenge (misformama.net/product/the-gentleness-challenge-ebook) Penny Reward System (misformama.net/penny-reward-system-2) (paintandprose.com) Paint & Prose (paintandprose.com) M Is for Mama (amazon.com/Mama-Rebellion-Against-Mediocre-Motherhood/dp/0736983775/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=m+is+for+mama&qid=1678291898&sprefix=m+is+for+%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1%5C)
Ep. 152: A Candid Q&A about Catholicism—Part 1 (with Pastor Rick Witmer) Abbie Halberstadt 2026-06-17 | You asked, we’re answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I’ve invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin’s responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!

Ep. 151: Why Family Devotionals Matter (With Melissa and Michael Kruger) Abbie Halberstadt 2026-06-10 | We know we’re supposed to read the Bible with our kids. But sometimes, we overlook the why of its importance. In this episode, Melissa and Michael Kruger approach the topic of family devotionals in a way that makes it seem doable—because it is! It’s not about perfection but instead intention. And with their new book. The Good News Family Devotional, they’ve created a resource that walks parents through the process of teaching God’s Word (in this case, the gospel of Mark) to our children. Our best advice? Just start somewhere, and then stay the course, trusting the Lord to direct your path and sustain you every step of the way.

Ep. 145: Contentment for Christian Women (A Chat with Tilly Dillehay) Abbie Halberstadt 2026-04-29 | What if we truly believe our contentment were not linked to our circumstances—that we really do have the ability to give thanks in all circumstances, as we’re exhorted to do by Scripture?What would it change?For the Christian woman mired in bitterness and comparison, the answer just might be “everything.”In this conversation with Tilly Dillehay, we explore the influences in modern culture that drive Christian women to consider themselves short-changed by their husbands, their children, and, ultimately, God. Join us for a thought-provoking show sure to step on your toes a little even while it encourages you to keep your eyes squarely focused on Christ.Guest Info:Tilly DillehayBuy Tilly's Book My Dear Hemlock Here! - amazon.com/My-Dear-Hemlock-Christian-Against/dp/1591281350Check Out Her Podcast Home Fires Here! - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/home-fires/id1530704128Follow Tilly On Instagram! - instagram.com/tilly_dillehayBible References:Genesis 3:1Philippians 4:4-13Romans 7:15-20Psalm 116:151 Corinthians 10:31Philippians 2Matthew 16:24-26Genesis 1:271 Corinthians 14:33Proverbs 31Galatians 6:2Galatians 5:11 John 5:4-5Mentions:Keepers of the Home Podcast - creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/abigail-halberstadt/episodes/Ep--100-Keepers-of-the-Home-A-Chat-with-My-Pastors-Wife--Jen-Witmer-e30ca1r/a-abrd4bsMa Ingalls Reel - instagram.com/tilly_dillehay/reel/DUg0HjgDwcrLinks:Gentleness Challenge - misformama.net/product/the-gentleness-challenge-ebookPenny Reward System - misformama.net/penny-reward-system-2Paint & Prose (paintandprose.com) Sylvania Church Livestream - sylvaniachurch.com/liveM Is for Mama (amazon.com/Mama-Rebellion-Against-Mediocre-Motherhood/dp/0736983775/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=m+is+for+mama&qid=1678291898&sprefix=m+is+for+%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1%5C) Penny Reward System (misformama.net/penny-reward-system) Leave a Review for the M is for Mama Show (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m-is-for-mama-podcast/id1664528555)M Is For Mama Chore Guide (misformama.net/2018/07/94990.html)
Ep. 144: Healthy Eating Tips for Kids Abbie Halberstadt 2026-04-22 | Every week, on Whaddya Wanna Know Wednesday, I get asked for tips for picky eaters, how to get kids in the kitchen (without losing your mind), and teaching kids about healthy eating choices. In this episode, we tackle all of these topics and more with Katie Kimble from Raising Healthy Families. She provides lots of practical suggestions for overwhelmed moms, gives great insight on how to equip kids to take agency for their contributions at home (and in the kitchen, specifically), and helps demystify the struggle to feed kids healthy food. I know every mom who listens to this episode will come away with valuable insights into a topic that has many parents scratching their heads.

Ep. 139: Spiritual Self-Talk (The Art of Preaching Truth to Yourself) Abbie Halberstadt 2026-03-18 | If you’ve ever found yourself mumbling about what you’re doing in the pantry or asking yourself why you walked into the garage and flipped on the lights, then you’re probably well-versed in the art of talking to yourself. The science behind it is obvious: As we vocalize our thoughts out loud, we help our brains process better. So, what if we applied this truth to our spiritual lives and began “talking back” to the lies our brains try to sell us sometimes? This exact practice of preaching truth to myself—out loud—is one that has served me well over 20 years of marriage and parenting. And I think it could help you too!Listen in as I give you concrete examples of what this looks like for me and how you too can benefit from talking yourself off of an emotional ledge before you ever tell anyone else something you might regret.Sponsor Info: Summit Ministries - summit.orgGive your kids a stronger foundation to embrace a biblical worldview and learn to navigate complex topics, such as abortion, doubts, evolution, gender identity, God’s existence, homosexuality, marriage and family, pornography, reliability of scripture, and much more.Use Code: MAMA26 For $250 Off On Top of Early Bird PricingMentions:Amare Kid’s Mood+ - amare.com/corporate/en-us/KidsMoodPlus?srsltid=AfmBOorqkPo8MTajOg-IOQ79WoeDYHbG7lFA8CQHg6zjLK-eake4SdEtThe Joyfulness Challenge - misformama.net/product/the-joyfulness-challenge-ebookBible References:2 Corinthians 10:51 Corinthians 10:131 Peter 2:231 Timothy 5:8Colossians 3:23-24John 8:32Luke 6:311 Corinthians 13Romans 8:1Romans 5:8Links:Gentleness Challenge - misformama.net/product/the-gentleness-challenge-ebookPenny Reward System - misformama.net/penny-reward-system-2Paint & Prose (paintandprose.com) Sylvania Church Livestream - sylvaniachurch.com/liveM Is for Mama (amazon.com/Mama-Rebellion-Against-Mediocre-Motherhood/dp/0736983775/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=m+is+for+mama&qid=1678291898&sprefix=m+is+for+%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1%5C) Penny Reward System (misformama.net/penny-reward-system) Leave a Review for the M is for Mama Show (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m-is-for-mama-podcast/id1664528555)M Is For Mama Chore Guide (misformama.net/2018/07/94990.html)
