This week I just tell you a little bit about the decisions we made in our home regarding this school year, and a little bit of our thought process behind making those decisions. I do share a couple of specific things we are using, and want to be clear that there is no "affiliate" or "affiliation" involved here, I'm just mentioning them because I am using/enjoying/loving them, and want to share them with you! For anyone who would like more information, or to stay up-to-date regarding the little girl and her family that I mention in this episode, I'm including a link to their GoFundMe below (th ..read more

Join me this week in discussion with Kelly, a Faithful and talented woman married to a Federal Corrections Officer. Kelly and I discuss some of the difficulties specific to her husband's role (and others that carry to all LEO/First Responder/Military roles), their experiences walking down this road together and with their kids, and what works for them to make the most of the moments they have to keep stay connected to each other and their kids. Next week I'll be going to a little lighter topic of discussion: Jumping into the Fall, our homeschooling experience (so far!), and working through ch ..read more

My thoughts after studying Matthew 22 at our church this week.

This is it! The long-awaited (for me anyway!) interview with the lovely Melissa Humes, author of the book we've worked through as a series called A Police Wife Bible Study. Getting to finally speak to Melissa, and hear her perspective on her book, and LE Family life from her voice/own immediate words was a joy. Grab a cup of tea, or coffee, and listen in to this conversation about Faith, Family, and the importance of Community. Thank you for joining me on the journey of this series! If you are just discovering us now, please feel free to listen to this episode first, and then purchase the stud ..read more

This week we take a look at feelings of resentment, and bitterness, through the scope of the Amor of God, discussed in Ephesians 6. Put your thinking caps on for your personal study time here, because there is some great depth into the language and translations in this passage! Sabrina and I also take a brief rabbit trail about social media, so be prepared. Next week I will be interviewing the wonderful lady who authored this book, Melissa Humes, so if you have any questions you would like to ask her please send them to me ASAP!

This week's study is on the struggle of "Single" Parenting, that we often experience with long (sometimes strange!) shifts of overtime and who knows what else in this industry! Take heart: you do not need to be alone (or feel) alone! We all struggle with this sometimes (and not just us, first responders aren't the only ones that struggle with work-life balance sometimes). It is okay to ask for help! And what is more important: cultivate healthy relationships when you are not struggling, so you know you have people who are safe to share those struggles with when they do arise. If you have any q ..read more

In this episode, we chat after studying 1 Corinthians 13 for the chapter discussing Marriage. This is a complex and many-faceted topic; we only scratch the surface! I would encourage you to read Proverbs 31, Titus 2, and other scripture on Biblical Womanhood and scripture discussing marriage in conjunction with 1 Corinthians 13 for a deep dive into this topic. Next week we discuss and delve into Chapter 9 of the book: A Police Wife Bible Study by Melissa Humes --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesheepdogwifepodcast/message ..read more

This week's episode discusses the importance of Integrity. If you haven't gone through the book, which guides and prompts a deeper study of this topic, please do so!  That facilitation will give you a more thorough look into what integrity is, the weight and importance it carries, and the gravity of its role in our lives as Christians. This discussion is a brief overview and highlight track, if you will, on what jumped out to us as we worked through this week's chapter. Dictionary definition of Integrity: 1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness ..read more

This week's topic is Jealousy - we study the stories of Cain and Abel, Saul and David, Herod and the infant Jesus, and the Pharisees' interactions with Jesus. We cover a lot of text, but tried to be succinct due to some scheduling constraints we faced this week We hope you enjoy!
