In 2018 first day of the year I was praying I asked the Lord what he wanted me to do that year, I was anticipating missions, teaching Gods word etc but He said to me” be a mother” I was shocked because I thought I was a mother since I had 3 kids already. Long story short He was calling me out of culture and I left my job, I am now happily homeschooling my 4 kids and a proud homemaker❤ This is what I learnt it’s secular culture to bear children and pay people to raise them for you e,g schools and nannies. This is exactly what Pharoahs daughter did with Moses. A godly mother raises her own- understanding like Hannah that she is to present them back to God as godly seed. So thank you this video was spot on and it’s sad cause most woman in churches have not gotten this revelation.
Has Scott considered starting his own channel or podcast to minister to young men pursing a masculine and traditional life? There are so many Christian podcasts and channels for men that are watered down and very feminine in nature. I have several podcasts I’ve found for women from the traditional, biblical perspective but only 1 or 2 for men.
Thank you, Scott and Kelli, for explaining what it means to sacramentally and sacrificially serve our husband and children. Today’s secular culture denounces “sacrifice” in any aspect, in direct contradiction to God’s word. Serving our family, sacrifices and all, is extremely rewarding.
This was a powerful message. Thank you so much, Scott and Kelli. You are so right, that the Father "sees us in secret", and it is a "mission" and calling especially as mothers, and wives, to care for our family at home. It is in the home, that all things begin, and where we can either strengthen or weaken our family. We have been set up to specifically nurture those in our home. As you mentioned, it is sometimes easy to get caught up in the wave of wanting to go far and help others, on mission, but what about those in our homes that need us, and have been directly placed in our lives right now. Sometimes the want of the "mission minded person" underneath it all, is unfortunately to be praised, which can lead to a turning away from the family, and forsaking of children, in order to seek out the worlds praise. But this is ironically already contrary to the Father's will. The Bible reminds us to care for our homes first, and then we can see more clearly if there is something that we need to do on the outside for others. Many Blessings to you both as always, for your continued rich work, to help others along this walk of life.
Love the tree analogy. I think the self is the root of all good and evil. Better self = better families = better communities = better countries = better world.
As a former Protestant and now a Catholic, I can see such a difference in women’s role in the church. Simply put, as a Protestant I felt like I could never measure up because I wasn’t doing all these ministry things. And the amount of things they would ask of women with young children was astonishing to me. I’m painting with a wide brush here. And that not measuring up bc I wasn’t being as involved as the other women made me miss the bigger picture of a personal relationship. Now as a Catholic, I have never been asked once to do any Sort of ministry. It is well defined that a women’s ministry is serving God through her husband and family. The theology behind it is so amazing and awe inspiring (how could it not be!?) We also have a lot of literature on Mary (of course) and her role as a Mother and even Joseph’s role. It amazing to see how they lived out God’s Will as a family. And how obedient they were
Well said! Our primary ministry is to our family. Pope John Paul II’s letter to women is a lovely treatise on our special roles as women. That’s not to say we are prohibited from other ministries. Depending on your stage in life, there are additional ways to serve. My children are grown. Some ministries I’ve helped with are the prayer shawl ministry, and washing and ironing alter linens. Ladies in our church make dishes for funeral lunches, make mats for the homeless, and other projects that can be done at home, without taking time away from serving our family. I’m so happy for you!
Welcome! I converted 20 years ago and was thinking the same thing as I watched their last video. The Catholic Church, especially at more traditional parishes, is very good at honoring the unique gifts of men and women. And as you said, we have such wonderful role models in the saints, and especially Our Lady.
This is so interesting. I’m Protestant, but I have felt the same way about so much being expected of women, even if it’s not explicitly stated, the hint is there. I turned down an “administrative” role in our women’s ministry, and felt bad about it, but had to ask myself why. I didn’t feel God calling me to do that at all. I have a home economy and people in this home to serve. I don’t NEED to do anything else!
One way a woman can minister is through adopting children. We have adopted four children (two boys and then twin baby girls) and besides flying out to various states as a family to bring them home, I didn’t have to leave my post as a homeschooling, homemaking mother. ❤️ Good points here guys!!! God bless!
Thank you so much. So many great points. I became a new-born Christian during my pregnancy and during that period of time up until now when my son is already 2 yo I have really become aware that really everything starts from the home, how the Truth deeply rooted in children's life could go with our kids in difficult situation and could save them from a lot of disappointments and worldly pleasures. With God's help I was able to stay at home with him and leave my job. I can also see the difficulties in raising a child with an unsaved partner now because the enemy really drags him away in worldly things that deprives him from the most important thing, being a spiritual leader of his family.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing these truths. I have definitely struggled with guilt and gotten into not-so-good situations from that.
Hello! 🎉 Thank you so much for this video. Could you make a video on single never-married women in their mid-30s who spent a long time healing from physical, psychological and sexual abuse in their birth families? I spent a lot of time healing and preparing to be a homemaker. The culture is a bit discouraging... being single in my mid-30s has made some people insinuate that I no longer have the right to want to be a homemaker. I find strength in Christ. I would love to hear what you have to say about it. Thank you!
Love love love this video!!! I have a question- the verse in proverbs where it says Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Would you say that is a proverb or a promise. I have read that it is a proverb and not a promise meaning it is not a guarantee that your child that you train will walk in The ways of the Lord when he is old. What is your interpretation of this verse? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Yes , it starts from family, thank you for your work .

Thanks for your testimony with this! God bless you and be encouraged with your husband from 1 Peter 3:1

I truly appreciate you both! The discussions are eye opening each time!
Wow! I have no words of how much this video impacted me. Truly thank you!
Thank you. Very good video with valid points. It all starts in the home.
