As the co-hosts of Unlikely Housewives, we decided to wade into some uncharted waters that we find ourselves navigating through today. Opening in prayer, we set the stage for a candid discussion about the weight of our roles as citizens and believers in a world that often feels unsettling. Our dear friend Suzanne joins us to reflect on how recent years, particularly the recent pandemic, have shifted our perspectives. We acknowledge the importance of being vigilant and responsive to the spiritual unease we sometimes feel, encouraging our listeners to question how their hearts align with the Lord amidst the chaos.
Listen in as we address the complexities of teaching compassion versus empathy, especially within a Christian context. We explore the challenge of distinguishing feelings from facts, highlighting the concept of "toxic empathy," where emotions can cloud judgment. Through personal anecdotes, we discuss the importance of teaching children to appreciate different perspectives and emphasize discernment in an era of biased narratives and algorithms. We also examine the struggle of feeling disconnected from foundational values during times of misinformation and societal pressure, urging our listeners to stay informed and engaged, particularly when it comes to civic duties like voting.
While acknowledging the importance of God's love, we emphasize the need for teachings on sin, repentance, and transformation through Christ. The conversation touches on the financial and social impacts of illegal immigration, highlighting the importance of enforcing immigration laws to maintain order. As we seek facts and unity in political discourse, we encourage listeners to evaluate candidates based on their policies and track records, empowering them to make informed choices that align with their values. Throughout, we emphasize the importance of grounding beliefs in biblical truth and staying engaged in meaningful conversations about faith and politics. And most importantly…we encourage and invite you to VOTE this election!

Season three has drawn to a close: we've all grown a little wiser, laughed a bit harder, and found new strength in our faith. This season was a heartfelt journey, touching the hearts of moms and marriages with stories of hope and humor. This season featured conversations with guests like Libby Davis on the dangers of fentanyl, Jodi Maddox on the intricacies of parent coaching, and the wisdom-laden duo, Jill and Mark Savage on nurturing marriages. Each episode is a testament to the fact that, no matter the struggle, none of us are navigating this journey alone.
Have you ever considered the strength it takes to place your full trust in Jesus, to 'get in the wheelbarrow' so to speak? The 'wheelbarrow story' isn't just a narrative; it's a call to action, a challenge to step into the unknown with faith as your compass. We examined the delicate dance of following God's will, the comfort found in fellowship, and the transformative power of love through life's seasons, reminding you that embracing your faith can lead to profound relationships and renewal.
As we wrapped up, inspirational films like "The Shift" and "Unsung Hero" were highlighted, serving not just as entertainment but as fuel for the soul, celebrating the resilience of faith amid adversity. This season, we've bonded over shared experiences, encouraged each other in our spiritual walks, and discovered the balance between faith, health, and family. Join us in honoring these stories, and may you find purpose and healing in the intersection of your own life and faith.

Hey hey, housewives! In this episode, we are discussing the pairing of faith and political landscapes and the newest battlefield that we are facing in America. Our podcast motto of “You are not alone” pours over into this episode as we're stepping into this discussion unafraid to call out what we see as evil, encouraged by the fearless voices that have shaped our faith and perspectives. Listen in as we stand firm in our convictions, knowing we answer to God above all, even in the face of potential judgment and persecution.
In this episode, we review the documentary adaptation “Letter to the American Church” from New York Times best-selling author, Eric Metaxas, and give our take on the pressing issues facing the American Church and its role in politics. Join us, as we navigate these tougher topics with a spirit of truth and unwavering faith. We kick it off with a stirring discussion on the historical lessons from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, drawing parallels between his stand against Nazism and the modern American church's response to the current political disaster. Our exploration isn't merely an academic exercise; we're here to equip you with the courage to act and the wisdom to discern God's path amidst the chaos.
This documentary highlighted so many historical and heavy topics, and our episode doesn't shy away from identity politics and the cultural Marxism's imprint on our society. We dissect the effects of these ideologies, citing influential figures who've bravely spoken against the grain. As we venture through this minefield, we discuss the impact of gender politics on our children, the integrity of women's sports, and the invasion of progressive thought in education. Our conversation is more than a debate; it's a call to safeguard the values we hold dear and protect our families against cultural infiltration.
We wrap up with a powerful reflection on emphasizing the need for love and truth in our Christian walk. We don't just scratch the surface; we bring in perspectives from this documentary that challenges the mainstream narrative, highlighting the importance of standing firm in our convictions. This isn't just your average podcast episode—it's an invitation to become an active participant in shaping our society, aligning our actions with the teachings of the Bible, and ensuring our voices resonate within our communities and beyond.

As a mother of five and a business owner, Brittany Valis embodies the resilience we all aspire to. Her story, rich with the joys and challenges of raising a family while building a business through pandemic upheaval and personal trials, is one that echoes the complexities many of us face. Brittany opens up about her life's journey, sharing the beauty of her intuitive pregnancy with her daughter Rose, the tenacity required to start a business on the eve of COVID-19, and the strength it took to navigate through a divorce. Her experiences offer a powerful testimony to the strength of the human spirit, and in this episode, we are honored to unpack these tales with her, finding comfort and wisdom in her anecdotes.
Supporting a friend through divorce can feel like navigating a minefield of emotions and unsaid words, and this is a theme we explore deeply with Brittany. We discuss the delicate balance of being present for a friend, without passing judgment or imposing our own narratives on their experience. Brittany also shares personal insights on marriage's transformative power post-divorce, and how it can lead to rediscovery and growth. In these discussions, we underscore the importance of family bonds, effective communication, and the collective effort in child-rearing that brings together generations, all while maintaining a sense of self within the whirlwind of family life.
In the realm of personal development, the episode takes a turn towards introspection as we acknowledge the transformative power of love, self-acceptance, and forgiveness. These are not just lofty concepts but lived experiences, as demonstrated by Brittany's journey through therapy and the ongoing process of learning to receive compliments without the shadow of self-doubt. We grapple with the notion that our life's purpose may be understood through the prism of our relationships, where every challenge is an opportunity for personal growth. And as Brittany shares her approach to achieving peace through forgiveness, we are reminded of the profound impact such inner work can have in all areas of life, from our personal to professional worlds.

Stepping off the gridiron and into the gritty reality of law enforcement, Anthony Sherman's post-NFL life is a testament to service and strength—traits that resonate deeply in our latest conversation, episode #77. Together with his wife Jessica, they open up about the seismic shifts from high-stakes sports to the front lines of community safety, and how Anthony's dedication to halting sex trafficking has redefined their family's values and daily rhythms. From the echoes of a Super Bowl parade to the hushed tones of heartfelt prayers, their journey speaks volumes about the power of courage and conviction in navigating life's transitions.
Amid the backdrop of Anthony's career change, we unravel the complexities of balancing the rush of police work with the sanctuary of home. Tales from Union Station, a symbol of bravery and the fragility of safety, paint a vivid picture of the sacrifices made by those who protect us. The Sherman's unfiltered insights into the emotional landscape of law enforcement families offer a rare glimpse into the love, fear, and unwavering support that binds them together. It's not all high tension, though; the fun of school spirit and community camaraderie shines through as we recount the highlights of school field days and the lighter moments that keep spirits high.
The episode peeks behind the curtain of Sherman's latest endeavors, from laying down roots in Kansas to launching his own podcast, 'Buddy Listen'. Ambition doesn't stop at the microphone, as we discuss the evolution from radio to podcasting and the construction of a home that serves as both a gym and a creative hub. Anthony and Jessica's approach to fitness, parenting, and forging a legacy of leadership sets an inspiring tone for us all. It's a narrative about building the foundations—literal and metaphorical—of a life well-lived, encouraging each of us to pursue our passions with the same fervor.
