  • Making Room at the Inn (and in Your Heart!)

    Making Room at the Inn (and in Your Heart!)
    Dec 15 2025

    It’s our second Christmas episode, and this week we’re talking all about the Magi, Mary & Joseph, unexpected guests, and what real hospitality looks like when you’re a mom with a busy house and a messy life.

    Spoiler: it’s not candles, curated charcuterie, or having your pillows karate-chopped just right.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
    • The part of the Christmas story we hardly ever talk about
    • What actually might’ve happened when a whole camel caravan showed up in tiny Bethlehem
    • Why biblical hospitality feels totally different from “Pinterest hospitality”
    • Small, everyday ways to “make room” for others (even in the grocery store aisle!)
    • Why your kids aren’t a barrier to hosting — they can be your little hospitality team
    • The freedom to set healthy boundaries during the holidays
    • A reminder that you, mama, have God-given agency to protect your family
    • The blessing that comes when we choose generosity and welcome
    Our Favorite Nuggets:
    • Be a “There you are!” person, not a “Here I am…” one
    • Imperfection is actually a gift — nobody needs your fake perfect
    • Hospitality isn’t about a spotless house… it’s about a spacious heart
    • Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is let someone merge in traffic
    • And yes, even Mary didn’t have a Ring doorbell or a clean house ready
    Christmas Challenge:

    Decide now that your value this season is hospitality over hurry and people over perfection. Jesus always makes room for us — and we get to do the same for others. Merry Christmas, mamas. You are one of our favorite gifts.

  • The Wise Woman’s Favorite Things

    The Wise Woman’s Favorite Things
    Dec 8 2025
    Moms — we made it!! We’re celebrating 200 episodes of the Gather Moms podcast AND kicking off Christmas together! Whether you’ve been with us since those early COVID-era episodes or you just found us last week, we are so grateful you’re here. In this milestone episode, we’re unwrapping favorite gifts, Christmas hilarity, biblical truths, and some deeply meaningful encouragement for the season. Big Takeaways 1. Good mom ≠ big Christmas Stop carrying the weight of magical expectations. A meaningful Christmas isn’t built on stuff — it’s built on values, presence, and generosity. 2. Start with values, not expectations Decide what matters most: togetherness, service, slowing down, telling the story of Jesus — then shape December around that. 3. Generosity beats guilt every time Don’t aim for “perfect.” Aim for generous: time, kindness, prayers, small acts, and loving others with your kids. 4. The Magi point us to Jesus in a deeper way Their extravagant gifts weren’t random — they reflected worship, prophecy, priesthood, and God’s perfect provision. Even at Jesus’ birth, God was caring for Mary in the sweetest ways. 5. Small rhythms make a big impact A weekly Advent reading, a service project, handmade cards, or simply talking about Jesus — simple is beautiful.
