    “A very present help in a time of need.”
    I’ve found this podcast during a season of trial. She brings God’s word to life in a way that makes it seem so simple. As a currently exhausted mama, I highly recommend. Listen, pray, and fill your cups moms!

    Christ-centered homeschooling & motherhood
    Durenda is like a mentor to me! I’ve been homeschooling for ten years and continue to need encouragement and godly wisdom for this journey, particularly as I’m now homeschooling high schoolers. Durenda’s approach to motherhood and homeschooling are Christ-centered and doable! I look forward to each new podcast episode!
  • RoxiRossi
    Great show!
    I love listening to Durenda! She has a very soothing voice and great insights! I grew up in a nonconventional homeschool setting, so it is great to hear about her own style and how we don’t have to have an Instagram life. She offers real life, practical guides to having a more Christ-centered home.

    Very encouraging for homeschool moms
    I was really encouraged by her book “The Four Hours School Day” which changed my homeschool life to be much more relaxed and fruitful. After that I started listening to this podcast, and it had been super helpful, her experiences and words of wisdom really set my heart in peace as I continue my homeschool journey.

    I love you Durenda! But please stop cutting off your guests.
    This has got to be one of my top podcasts to listen to and recommend. As a new homeschool mom I’ve found so much encouragement through Durenda. She is so full of wisdom in this area and I basically listen to every episode. My only tiff with this show, and the reason I’m not leaving a 5 star review is that she tends to cut off her guests A LOT! I value what Durenda has to say but there is time to listen to her when she doesn’t have a guest on. Many times when she has a guest im interested in I’ve noticed she speaks over them and doesn’t let them finish their thought . Its very frustrating to not know what they had to say.

    Life changing
    I was in need of some confidence boosts and guidance in homeschool for my daughter not home schooling is not an option whatsoever. This podcast has brought me so much confidence and even my husband. I send him my family and friends episodes constantly. Thank you for walking the path God has placed you on.

    Hi! I’m new here!
    I came across this podcast from another podcaster that I love and I’m just excited to start listening. I started following you on Instagram and I feel like we share so many of the same interests and I look forward to listening to all of your wise words. Also, I love that you have a big family! My husband and I have 3 kids, 4th one due next month, and we want as many kids as the Lord blesses us with. So excited to be here!

    Favorite Podcast
    I’m not even sure how I came across Durenda’s podcast, but I’m extremely grateful I did. Durenda always has meaningful yet practical information to share and a great Biblical perspective. It has been an incredible blessing and encouragement as a mom who will be homeschooling soon, as a Christian and as someone who wants to steward this season of life well.
  • Graceroni1992
    Thank you!
    I am so glad I found this podcast before I started my homeschooling journey! Thank you!
  • TiffanyRoselle
    This is a MUST listen for Christian parents!
    Thank you so much Durenda for this podcast. It has opened my eyes and changed my perspective on several major topics I was considered “strict” on to people around me… now I’m even more strict!! Lol but your wisdom has taught me what to say and how to handle the situations I’ve been put in while saying no to so many things! It’s also shown me to say yes to something else that is wholesome..!! I’m constantly striving for balance and you have shown me how to have that!!! This podcast was just what I needed as a mom who wants to do better for my kids than how I was raised. (Even though I was raised in a strict Godly home.) If you want to be a better Christian parent, THIS podcast is the place to start!!! Thank you soooo much, yet again!!!!

    Truly Thankful!
    Thank you, Durenda, for this ministry of encouragement and wisdom that you share with all of us moms! I’ve been listening to your podcasts for just about 6 months or so and the Lord has truly used you and this podcast to help me become a better mom to my boys and wife to my husband. May the Lord continue to bless you in this ministry for as long as He wills!

    I literally feel like every time she releases a podcast, it is personally curated for me. Lol. I just absolutely love the topics she covers and how helpful she is! The next generation of women are hungry for truth and this is a great resource!
  • Mrs. PR
    Encouraging and informative!
    Looking back, I wish I had been brave enough to homeschool. Our children are all planning to homeschool their children which is why I began searching for podcasts to help educate me! I have learned a tremendous amount plus my booklist has doubled! I enjoy Durenda’s light-hearted approach to important yet difficult topics. Her website with the podcast subject search is very helpful, too!
  • cmere530
    So edifying!
    I really love this podcast. Durenda is full of wisdom in all things motherhood, homemaking and homeschool. It’s very edifying and encouraging!
  • Dana Gaynor
    10/10 for parenting and homeschooling encouragement
    Durenda is one of few voices I listen to in the homeschooling and child raising realm, I find her information to be so biblical, compassionate and encouraging for the season of life I am in! Not only that but there has been a few times where I have reached out via email for specific advise and she has always responded with such sound and helpful advice. I truly appreciate her podcast and all the effort she has poured into this ministry. God bless you Durenda, I wanna be like you one day!
  • VanessaCarol
    Prayer
    Carla’s episode was such an encouragement. I’m a long time believer but always struggle with prayer and anxiety, often leaving prayer not feeling better. I found the principles really life giving. I know at the core I struggle to believe God loves me, and that was clear while listening to Carla. I’m hopeful that I will get through this and have a fruitful prayer life. Thank you for inviting her on :)
  • lovemylilpeeps
    Always refreshing and encouraging!
    If you’re a mom who loves the Lord, you will richly benefit from listening to this show! Durenda’s words always bring me refreshment, encouragement, and perspective, right when I need it. Thank you, Durenda, for sharing your time and wisdom with us every week!
  • Mácolo
    A blessing!
    Durenda, this podcast is such a blessing. My husband and I are new Christians and pregnant with our first baby, we also plan on homeschooling so I hope you can imagine how all the wisdom you share is so helpful and encouraging. Thank you for all that you do!
  • val vogel
    Uplifting, encouraging & motivating
    Thank you, Durenda, for sharing your years of experience through this podcast!!! But beyond the wisdom & helpful information you relay, you glorify God in each episode & you share your contagious spirit of peaceful joy - you seem like the person that I just want to grab a cup of coffee with & chat for hours. I look forward to every episode & could not be more grateful that I found your show! I need to read your books next!
  • Unknown3000W
    Always just what needs to hear!
    This is my all time favorite podcast! I don’t listen to every episode because I’m usually busy with kiddos and don’t have a chance to turn it on often. BUT, when I do it is always just what I need to hear. Every time I randomly pick an episode it’s like God using Durenda to speak to my situation and give me reassurance. I don’t really have any Titus 2 women in my life and I didn’t grow up in a functional Christian home so I just really appreciate the wisdom I glean from this show. Thank you for sharing your experience with us Durenda!
  • JannellB
    So good!!
    I just discovered Durinda’s podcast and love it! She has some very thoughtful things to say and it is SO encouraging in my stage of life (56 year old mom with two teenage boys that homeschool). Most importantly, she always points back to God’s word, love, peace, provision and soverignty in all we are going through.

    My Favorite!
    So much wisdom in so many areas! This podcast has been such a blessing and very instrumental in changing my perspective on so many things.
  • Lyngehring26
    Hard to find
    In this culture and day in age, it is difficult to find someone so biblically sound and biblically relevant who is talking about these huge and important parenting/ homeschool topics. Durrenda is experienced and God-honoring in her speech with clear communication. I look forward to each new episode and LOVE this podcast!
  • home school mama of 9
    It’s the best!
    Durenda’s podcast is simply the best. It’s so practical and encouraging. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
  • LSchafer<3
    Mama of 3
    I am so grateful for this podcast! Everything Durenda teaches is biblically based, and she has given me so much encouragement and practical advice. After listening to this podcast, my mindset has changed to LOVING this season of life with 3 boys four and under. Thank you!
  • Foeixjtngke
    Durenda us young moms are so grateful for you!
    Durenda, you are such a blessing to me. The fact that you get up daily and continue sharing your wisdom with us, is such a blessing. I'm so grateful. I don't have a mother who has shared just about anything with me. I was always in the way. I need the wisdom you share and I am so grateful you do. I pray you and your family are blessed abundantly for your faithfulness to God.
  • AREkate
    Rest for my soul!
    Thank you Durenda for your wise words and wonderful podcast. I’ve enjoyed listening during my walks, workouts, or riding in the car. So refreshing and a beautiful reminder to take all things to Christ and fully trust in Him! Thank you ❤️

  • FlagMomofTwo
    Gentle and also convicting!
    I so appreciate Durenda Wilson’s gentle and encouraging words. At the same time, she is honest and real, sharing from her heart in a way that reminds us to stay strong and go after what’s important! (That’s where the conviction steps in.)
  • Jaylynn121
    Homeschool
    This podcast has completely inspired me as homeschool mom. To raise my boys unto the Lord the advice and wisdom and guidance has been overwhelmingly appreciated. I highly recommend this podcast if you are new to homeschool. Or even just a mom.
  • Talitha_K
    So thankful for Durenda and all her guests!
    These podcasts are so encouraging & helpful, especially as a first-generation Christian and homeschooling mom. I seriously can’t express in words how grateful I am for her, her guests, and for the the wisdom & encouragement consistently shared! Thank you, thank you & God Bless you & the work of your hands, Durenda 🤍🙏🏼

    Homeschool
    I love Durenda’s wisdom. I love her encouragement. I love how she shares her experience with homeschooling her kids. I am always encouraged when I hear her podcasts and read her books.
  • laingmeg
    So wonderful!
    I think of Durenda as a mentor, even though we’ve never met! I found her podcast while searching for homeschool advice and she has given me a completely new perspective and helped me lift burdens of expectation in our homeschool journey. Thankful for her sharing biblical wisdom from her experiences as a mama!
  • Rlobrien
    Nuggets of Wisdom
    Durenda is so full of nuggets of pure wisdom and encouragement. Practical tips and relaxed insight from her years of experience. I’ve heard her in person and her podcast is an extension to her books and talks. Just great! Thanks!
  • akmamaaa
    Absolutely the BEST!!
    I cannot begin to express how thankful & grateful I am for Durenda's biblical wisdom and guidance. I could say so much more, but just going to state that this is the podcast to follow. I listen to every episode and cannot wait for the next one to come. Thank you Durenda!! You have helped me in so many more ways than you know! ❤️
  • iAmber25
    My absolute favorite podcast
    I am so very thankful that I stumbled upon this podcast! It has become my absolute favorite and has encouraged my soul in so many ways. I’m a wife and stay-at-home mother of 2 young boys (toddlers) and I will be homeschooling them. This podcast gives me biblical encouragement and practical wisdom both as a wife and mother. Thank you, Durenda, for your time and effort in this podcast!
  • Lady Mari 2016
    Just what I needed to hear
    Today, I listened to the episode with Durenda and Abbie Halberschadt. I was so encouraged by their words of wisdom. As a homemaker and homeschool mom of Littles, with no extended family or friends in the area, I find myself experiencing some truly hard moments more often than I would like. Their words reminded me that God has a purpose for this season and is teaching me to trust in Him while I wait for “our village” to surround us with love and support. Their words also encouraged me to keep my hand to the plow and be faithful in the small things.
  • PAMAUMA
    An answer to prayer
    This podcasts has literally been an answer to prayer. Durenda’s wisdom, knowledge and biblical guidance has been beneficial in my walk with the Lord. Her voice is so calm and so easy to listen to as well. I reference this podcast often in my homeschool community.
  • Chan&Co
    So calming
    Thank you for taking time to share the wisdom you’ve gleaned over the years. Grateful for a calming podcast that points to Christ when I’m up all night with my little one. You have given encouragement and something to look forward to—even with all the nighttime feedings.
  • Keys89
    Thank you
    Thank you for being so honest and real. Thank you sharing the ups and downs in life. I cannot express how much it helps us Mommas who are currently in the midst of it all. I absolutely love your podcast and your encouragement. I just thank you so much for serving the Lord in a way that helps others, while we grow our relationship with Him. I have been listening in for a while now and you’ve helped me on so many different levels, just hearing from a woman of God seasoned in many different areas. I just finished the last episode about grief and loss during the holidays and I just want to say, you sharing the details of the waves of emotions you felt after losing your grandson resonated so much with me. I’m 2019, I had 2 separate stillbirths. In April we lost my daughter Serena and a few months later in October we lost my son Vincenzo. Shortly after, my father in law was diagnosed with cancer and went home to the Lord in January 2020. I then went on to have another loss, my son, Luciano in January 2021. It has been a whole lot of heaviness and waves of grief and pain. Holidays are still so painful and this was exactly what I needed to hear and be reminded of. I thank the both of you for sharing your pain and encouraging others. God bless you always!
  • MHoverson
    The Homeschooling Mentor Mom I Need!
    I’ve been listening for several months and finished reading “The Four-Hour School Day.” Such practical Biblical wisdom for marriage, parenting, and homeschooling with no end! I am 25 and my husband and I have been painfully asking the Lord to grant us the blessing of children. He was homeschooled with 5 siblings here in ND where we live, but I was public schooled in southern CA and lived with just my mom and sister in not really a true Christian upbringing (my situation is too long to share here). I wish I could do life alongside you and learn from you in person. I am like a sponge soaking in all of your episodes! Thank you for being willing to serve the Lord in this way by helping us “Ruths” raise our children in the truth of His Word, in His ways, in His rest, and by His grace. May God richly bless you!
  • lauralf10
    A warm voice of truth
    I always find comfort in each of the episodes Durenda releases. I tell friends she’s like the amazing aunt or mentor you wish lived next door. The topics are varied and yet always seem timely and relatable. She provides Biblical truth and encouragement along with practical and applicable information for our daily walk with our families. I would recommend it not just for homeschooling families but any Christian mother or parent. I appreciate the life-giving and uncompromising truth woven into every episode.
  • meredithbrownie
    Braggy
    A lot of this podcast feels like she is just boasting about her perfect 8 kids and what a great job she did raising them. Some more honesty and sharing of failures would be helpful.
  • Hannahmiedema
    So thankful
    I am just so thankful for this podcast! I am preparing my heart and mind to homeschool my littles in a few years and this has been so helpful. Durenda is calming yet strong and her experience is confidence building. I try to listen every day!
  • Jenni in Indiana
    Thank you, Durenda!!
    You, Durenda Wilson, are absolutely amazing! You have been a huge encouragement to me in our home school, family and Christian journey. Please know you are making a very big difference. I just can’t thank God and you enough for your wisdom and willingness to share. Please keep up the good work!
  • Karlee M
    Absolute must listen for Christian homeschool mamas!
    I LOVE that this podcast has so much practical advice and tips for mothering and homeschool. It always challenges and encourages me and leaves me with things I can seek the Lord about while also sharing practical things I can implement that very day. Sooo thankful for this podcast and the godly women like Durenda who are paving the way for us new/ younger mamas!
