  • Fun personality!

    I recently discovered The Happy Home Podcast and immediately loved Arlene’s warmth and personality. Her conversation with Sarah Walton felt honest, encouraging, and genuinely enjoyable to listen to. I love a host who can talk about meaningful things without making the conversation feel heavy, and Arlene does that so well. I left the episode encouraged—and thinking she seems like someone I’d love to sit down and have coffee with!

  • Practical, Joy-Filled Wisdom for Real Families

    I love how Arlene takes big topics that every family faces and makes them feel doable, hope-filled, and grounded in God’s truth. Her episodes are warm, relatable, and packed with practical tools that actually help you create a peaceful, connected home. Such a gift for Christian families today.

  • Rooted in Truth, Full of Grace

    I love how Cheryl creates space for women to heal, grow, and be challenged in the most Spirit-filled, grace-soaked way. Thriving Beyond Belief is more than encouragement—it’s truth that gets to the root. Her guests bring real wisdom, and Cheryl guides every conversation with such warmth and depth. I leave every episode stirred and strengthened. -Heather

  • Timely and important

    Strengthening marriage and families… is there a more important and timely mission we should all strive for? I appreciate Arlene’s insights. And I absolutely love and think brilliant that she ends every episode that we don’t need to come from a happy home to create one and that we, too, can have a happy home. Amen, amen!

  • Help for those teen years

    As a mom of two boys, I’ve loved listening to Arlene and her guests share encouragement as I don’t feel like my home is always a happy one. #thestruggleisreal. I highly recommend you tune in, especially her episodes on anger and rebellious teens. Oh my! Kim Stewart | Book Marketing Mania for Christian Authors
