Simply Living for Him

Simply Living for Him

By KarenDeBeus

On this podcast, I talk about all things simple-life on our hobby farm, homeschooling, and always about Jesus! I believe the remedy for clutter and chaos in our world, is Jesus. The more we desire Him, the less we desire the things of this world, and the easier it is to live more simply.

Have You Lost Your Joy?

Have You Lost Your Joy?

Today we are talking about joy. It is not something we can produce in ourselves, nor is it something circumstances can produce. Come listen in and let me know if you agree with where our joy comes from!

This Changes Everything!

This Changes Everything!

This is a message I hope you share far and wide. As we approach Resurrection Sunday, let's take a look at what really changes everything. What you believe about death will determine how you live. Do you really believe in the power of the Resurrection? Do you really believe that you don't earn your way to heaven? Maybe you've gone to church your whole life or maybe you've never stepped foot in one. This message is for all.

Normalizing "Normal Homes"

Normalizing "Normal Homes"

Let's face it. In today's culture, the perfect home is glorified. The aesthetics are everything. The decor needs to stay on trend. And for many of us, we look around our homes and feel defeated. Yet, we are a society of abundance. We have more than we need. We should be thankful for the roofs over our heads and the places we call home.

Today I have a special guest, Jenny Nanninga, joining me as we talk about normalizing "normal" homes. Jenny lives in a smaller home with five children and gives a beautiful perspective on being content with what you have (even when discontentment creeps in) and gives practical advice for those of us to remember the purpose of our homes– our dwelling place. Make sure to listen to the end to hear her beautiful statement on this.

About Jenny:

Jenny is a wife and mother of five daughters living on the Central Coast of California. She and her family strive to love out God's calling on their lives to homeschool, serve the church, and love the world through hospitality while living small, in just 800 square feet! They love adventuring outdoors, exploring God's creation, pretending they have a small farm in suburbia with their chickens, cats, and dogs, and reading ALL the books. Jenny writes for different publications with a focus on homeschool, motherhood, and biblical womanhood. It is her desire to point others to Christ and to help them grow in their understanding of scriptures and to live fully in all that God has called them to.
