We’re Expecting! + Why We Shared Early (Ep. 15)
In today’s episode of Worthwhile, I’m finally sharing where I’ve been lately… and our family’s special news: we’re expecting our fifth baby! Along with our announcement, I wanted to have a thoughtful conversation about something that has been on my heart recently — the culture surrounding early pregnancy announcements, both in the world and within the church. Why do so many women feel hesitant to rejoice openly in the earliest weeks of pregnancy? What would it look like for Christian families and churches to truly celebrate life from the very beginning? And how can we walk through both joy and sorrow together as the body of Christ? This episode is not about creating pressure or rigid expectations around when to share pregnancy news. Instead, it’s an encouragement to think through these things in a distinctly Christian way — with gratitude, faith, hope, and open hands before the Lord. We talk about: Announcing pregnancy before 12 weeks Christian perspectives on early pregnancy Rejoicing in life from conception Pregnancy after miscarriage and loss Church culture and Christian fellowship Supporting expecting mothers in the church Walking through grief and joy together Encouraging young mothers in their excitement Building a culture that celebrates children as blessings Trusting the Lord in uncertain seasons I also share personal experiences with miscarriage, community support within the church, and why I hope our churches become places where women feel free to rejoice openly over new life from the very beginning. Thank you so much for being here, for sharing these episodes with friends, and for all of your kind messages and encouragement while I’ve been away. I’m so grateful for this community and excited for upcoming episodes on hospitality, homeschooling, and more conversations on faithful family life.

An Honest Mistake - and a Better Way to Mother (Ep. 12)
After making an honest mistake that may have had real consequences for our family, I found myself in a position where I needed someone to listen, understand, and extend grace even when they didn’t have to. That experience was a powerful reminder of two things: how faithfully the Lord provides for us in uncertain situations (and would have even if this hadn't resolved easily), and how often we can be tempted to move too quickly in our parenting. In this episode, I’m sharing what this week taught me about: trusting God when things feel out of your control walking by faith in everyday challenges patiently parenting and truly listening to your children Making sure we don't get stuck in rule-enforcing only and making sure to be on their team! (*We do in fact, enforce the rules. That's part of being on their team!) If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by constant interruptions, quick to correct without hearing the full story, or unsure how to balance structure with grace in your home, this conversation will encourage you. This is about slowing down, giving your children your attention, and remembering that the way we long to be treated is often the way we are called to love them.
