Episode 48 - Orthodox Homeschool Resources

Seeking the Kingdom of God as an Orthodox Christian Mother - This podcast provides encouragement, inspiration, and direction for mamas who juggle "all these things" of motherhood but long to live with intention and beauty while seeking the kingdom of God.

I know I&#39;m not the &#34;target audience&#34; for this podcast, but my wife liked it so much I thought I&#39;d check it out. It&#39;s great, even as an Orthodox Husband to a Homeschooling Wife/Mother. It gives me a window from another perspective into the lives of the very hard working mothers around me and helps me think about how what I do can impact (positively/negatively) their lives (especially, of course, the lives of my wife and children), and also just to help me understand their lives better so I can empathize with and be supportive to them.

Actionable and Inspiring

I am a catechumen and a mom, and am really looking forward to more episodes! This was instantly one of my favorite podcasts, and I made sure my notifications were turned on so that I can listen as they come out. Incredible first episode! Immensely helpful to me.
