  • Kind, Thoughtful, and Filled with Truth

    Thank you Abigail and Tilly for using your God given gifts on this Podcast! I’m encouraged by the way you two ladies speak, filled with kindness, thoughtfully, and grounded in truth.

    In your last podcast episode Tilly mentioned the regenerated Christian. Would you consider touching more on this in another episode?

    Also, as a young mom listening to this it makes me want to hear more of your perspective on parenting. Do you have things you wish you told yourself as a newer mom?

    This is such an encouraging podcast. I love the way these 2 ladies bring out things and talk about the wife and her roles and give so much encouragement to the wife ❤️ I found Tilly through another podcast and she was talking about My dear Hemlock. I am so thankful I found this book. It has been such an encouragement and help to me. I feel like it has changed me in many ways and my marriage has been made better from discovering these sweet ladies. I love how “real” they are and they don’t shame ... more

  • Yes!

    I am so encouraged that there is a women's podcast about the unique call and gifting of the female role and responsibilities in the home. Abigail and Tilly do an incredible job at provoking thought in both love and humility.

    I truly do hope there are many seasons to come.

    Update season 5:

    Still love this show! I’m literally laughing out loud at Tilly’s explanation of airplanes being held up by mere human error and air. Always my thoughts!

    And- Abigail’s wisdom in raising daughters to acquire sk... more
