Are Christian families looking for something different when it comes to education?

With Texas public school enrollment declining by more than 47,000 students this year and national enrollment projections continuing downward, many parents are asking important questions about their children's education, faith formation, and sense of belonging.

In this episode, Lynn sits down with Tricia Chinners, founder of Salt & Light Academy in Howe, Texas. A wife, mother, grandmother, and former NICU nurse, Tricia shares the incredible story of how God led her to create a unique learning environment where children can slow down, grow in responsibility, build meaningful relationships, and deepen their faith.

Together they discuss:

• Why families are exploring alternatives to traditional education
• What parents are saying they want most for their children
• How Salt & Light Academy combines faith, academics, farm life, and hands-on learning
• The importance of belonging, connection, and character development
• Biblical wisdom for moms making educational decisions
• Following God's calling even when the outcome feels uncertain
• How God has faithfully provided throughout the academy's journey

If you've ever wondered how to raise godly kids in today's culture, sought Bible study verses for wisdom and direction, or wrestled with educational decisions for your family, this conversation will encourage and inspire you.

Whether you're a homeschooling family, private school family, public school family, or simply seeking God's wisdom for motherhood, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and hope for raising children who know and love Christ.

Seeing where God has been faithful before, we can rest that he will be faithful again!

ENJOY friends and HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Can life be hard and good at the same time?

After Mother’s Day, I found myself reflecting on the tension so many moms feel every day — joy mixed with grief, gratitude mixed with exhaustion, peace mixed with uncertainty and anxiety mixed with desire for wisdom in motherhood.

In this episode, we talk about the “duality” of difficult seasons and what Scripture shows us about walking through hardship with faith.

Through Psalms 40, 61, and 62, we look at David’s life during some of his darkest moments — betrayal, loss, fear, and uncertainty — yet we also see his continual praise and trust in God. So many great Bible verses for anxiety seen in David's emotionally charged Psalms.

What stood out to me this time reading the Psalms was this: David understood that God was doing something bigger than his immediate struggle.

In my quiet time, God used Psalms 40, 61, and 62 to show me that hard seasons can still point us — and others — to the hope and faithfulness of a Sovereign God.

What if our struggles are not only shaping us… but also pointing others toward Christ?

In this episode we discuss:

• Why two things can be true at once
• The danger of staying stuck in complaint
• How gratitude changes our perspective
• Why your children are watching your faith
• How to share God’s goodness even in difficult seasons
• But more importantly, how responses to hard times potentially affects others

Life is hard. But God is still faithful. And our hope in Him outweighs it all.

What is shaping your thought life right now?

In today’s episode of Faith For Anxious Moms Podcast, we’re talking about how your daily rhythms of intake, what you consume, and—most importantly—how what you believe about God directly impact your mindset, perspective and decisions in front of you.

Because the truth is:
your thoughts don’t just happen… they’re formed.

Through a personal story about how a simple habit shift affected my mindset, and a powerful look at David’s life in 1 Samuel and Psalm 59, we unpack how David—while being hunted and hiding—anchored his thoughts in what he knew to be true about God:
God is our strength, our refuge, and full of steadfast love.

And that same truth is available to you today.

Friend, you don’t have to stay stuck in negative thinking. God's word shows us his strength and provides tons of examples. You can experience peace, clarity, and a renewed mind through spending time with God and being rooted in His Word.

Whether you are a working mom, SAHM, empty nester or in the thick of school aged kids just trying to stay sane while trying to point your kids to Christ, I believe Scripture is the answer to our daily perspective.

Scripture referenced:
1 Samuel, Psalm 11, Psalm 59, John 10:10
