Simply Joyful Podcast — Heather MacFadyen: Learning How to Remain a God-Centered Mom
Let’s face it, the most important part of being a God-centered mom is getting yourself in the Word of God. But that’s often really challenging for moms! It's hard to get away. We have demands piling up on us, sometimes before we even plan to get up in the mornings.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Heather! Get ready to be encouraged!

- Many of you have already received a copy of my book, Sanity Savers for Moms. {For those of you who haven't, it's a gift that I offer HERE.} One of my “sanity saver” tips in the book for finding time to get in the Word is to not feel guilty about putting a show on for your kids to watch, so you can sneak away with your Bible for a bit. There are so many really amazing Christian shows that you can put on for your kids, so you are both growing in the Lord at the same time.
