Can modesty actually be an act of worship? And what does that even look like in a world where “less is more” seems to be the fashion motto? In this episode, we dive into the ever-relevant and controversial topic of modesty—but not in a finger-waggy, rulebook kind of way. We’re talking about modesty as a form of worship that honors both God and the bodies He gave us. From 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 to 1 Peter 3:3-4, we unpack what Scripture actually says about how we present ourselves—especially in an era where TikTok trends and Insta-influencers are shaping how our daughters think about beauty and worth.

We also tackle those messy misconceptions about clothing and modesty, and how fashion can either reflect our faith or blur the lines. And for the moms raising girls in a culture that’s marketing crop tops and barely-there outfits to 8-year-olds? This conversation is for you. We'll look at how modesty has been both overemphasized in purity culture and undervalued in modern culture, and offer some real-life tips for teaching modesty without shame or legalism. Because guess what? You can raise daughters who are confident, stylish, and rooted in Christ.

Hey Mama Bears! In this episode, Hilary and Amy tackle a growing trend we’ve seen online: calling out churches in a way that crosses from accountability into straight-up bashing. One post in particular claimed that churches without special needs ministries are leading people away from God—and whew, we’ve got thoughts. We unpack the difference between genuine concerns and unfair criticism, especially when it comes to things like flashy worship, big congregations, and limited resources. Are we pointing out sin, or just style differences?

We want to explore this topic with grace, wisdom and discernment. So we invite you to ROAR through the claims made in the article we open with. With our usual dose of humor, biblical grounding, and mama bear honesty, we talk emotional maturity, grace-filled critique, and how to have real conversations that build up the Body of Christ instead of tearing it down.​

• When Critique Turns into a Tantrum
• Calling Out vs. Tearing Down

• Accountability or Condemnation?
• How to Call Things Out Without Being a Jerk
• Building a Culture of Healthy Accountability

Hey Mama Bears! Today, we’re tackling some big misconceptions about the Holy Spirit. He’s not just a mystical force or a gut feeling—He’s a person, fully God, with wisdom, and power. And getting this right matters! A.W. Tozer and R.A. Torrey remind us that a faulty view of the Holy Spirit can lead to serious theological errors. So, let’s dive into Scripture—Acts, Romans, and Galatians—to see who He really is and what that means for us.

Now, what’s the real evidence of the Spirit at work? It’s not just spiritual gifts or dramatic experiences—it’s the fruit of the Spirit (yep, even patience in the middle of toddler tantrums). He’s our Advocate, Comforter, and the One who intercedes when we don’t have the words. And when we look at Stephen in Acts, we see the kind of bold faith the Spirit empowers—exactly what we want for our kids.

So, how do we teach our kids about the Holy Spirit? We’ll break it down into everyday conversations that make sense, tackling tough questions (like the “unforgivable sin”) with biblical clarity. Because theology isn’t just for scholars—it’s for mamas raising the next generation of disciples.

• Blasphemy: to speak with contempt about God or to be defiantly irreverent.
