Ep. 6: From Control to Communion
Jan 09, 2026Welcome to the sixth episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, a devotional companion for Christian mothers longing to embody shalom in the midst of their real, ordinary, everyday calling.
In this episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, we begin a five-part series on building secure attachment and embodied faith, with Christ at the center.
Drawing from Genesis 3 and the three temptations of Jesus, this episode names how the rupture of relationship with God fractured three core human needs:
the need to be safe & nourished
the need to be seen & belong

Jan 02, 2026Welcome to the fifth episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, a devotional companion for Christian mothers longing to embody shalom in the midst of their real, ordinary, everyday calling.
In this episode, we reflect on the invitation found in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18:
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances…”
For many mothers, pray without ceasing can sound impossible — even exhausting. How can we possibly pray continually while caring for children, managing a home, and carrying the mental and emotional load of daily life?
This episode gently reframes that question.

Dec 26, 2025Welcome to the fourth episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, a devotional companion for Christian mothers longing to embody shalom in the midst of their real, ordinary, everyday calling.

Dec 19, 2025Welcome to the third episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, a devotional companion for Christian mothers longing to embody shalom in the midst of their real, ordinary, everyday calling.
In this episode, we reflect on the moment God met Moses in the wilderness, not in a temple... and what that means for mothers today.
We explore what Scripture teaches about holiness as God’s presence, not moral perfection or spiritual achievement, and how the places we already stand — kitchens, hallways, laundry rooms — can become holy ground when God is near.

Dec 12, 2025Welcome to the second episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, a devotional companion for Christian mothers longing to embody shalom in the midst of their real, ordinary, everyday calling.
In this episode, I share what a “Kingdom Mother” is.
We explore what Scripture teaches about placing Christ at the center of our motherhood—seeking Him first (Matthew 6:33), before all else, and mothering from a place of allegiance, not anxiety.
This episode is an invitation into right-ordered love, daily surrender, and the slow, sacred work of raising children unto the Lord.

Dec 05, 2025Welcome to the very first episode of The Laundry Basket Liturgy, a devotional companion for Christian mothers longing to embody shalom in the midst of their real, ordinary, everyday calling.
In this opening episode, I share what a “laundry basket liturgy” truly is:a quiet, faithful posture of turning the ordinary work of motherhood into a place of prayer, presence, and communion with Christ.
We explore what Scripture teaches about the work of our hands (Colossians 3:23–24, Psalm 90:17, Luke 16:10), how the repetitive tasks of homemaking can actually become grounding rhythms for the nervous system, and how simple...
