Truth Over Trends Podcast | Biblical Womanhood, Faith, & Real Life

Every October, Christians seem to have the same debate: Should Christians participate in Halloween at all?

Is trick-or-treating harmless fun? What about costumes, pumpkins, harvest festivals, scary decorations, or the darker parts of Halloween? And at what point does a personal conviction become something we start requiring of every other Christian?

In this short episode of Truth Over Trends...

You love your kids. You want them grounded in God’s Word. You want to be intentional about what is shaping their hearts and minds.

But you don’t homeschool.

Maybe you can’t. Maybe you don’t feel called to. Maybe you’ve prayerfully chosen public, private, or Christian school for your family.

Does that mean you’ve somehow handed over your role in disciplin...

You’re getting the kids dressed.

You’re getting everyone out the door.

You’re sitting in the church pew.

You’re opening the Bible at home.

You’re praying for your children.

You’re trying to faithfully point your family toward Christ…

But your husband isn’t walking alongside you spi...

Prayer matters.

God’s Word matters.

Faith matters.

But sometimes the woman who’s struggling also needs someone to recognize that something isn’t okay—and help her get appropriate care.

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, we’re having an important conversation about Christianity and mental health—and the tensio...

I put my husband in the hot seat… and you all picked the questions. 😅🔥

I asked the women in our Christ Over Culture Moms community what they REALLY wanted to ask a Christian husband—and they did not hold back.

Does it bother him to come home to a messy house? Should a husband recognize when his wife is drowning without her having to ask for help? What does biblical headship...

The world tells women:

“If you can just change your body, you’ll finally change your life.”

Lose the weight.

Fit into the jeans.

Find the perfect diet.

Start over on Monday.

But what if that’s the biggest lie the diet industry has been selling us all along?

In this episode of the Truth Over ...

You can be married.

You can have wonderful children.

You can faithfully attend church.

You can be surrounded by people every single day…

…and still feel incredibly alone.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?”—this episode is for you.

After an encouragement challenge inside my Christian mo...

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, many Christians are asking an important question:

Can Christians be patriotic?

Is it biblical to love your country?

Where is the line between gratitude and idolatry?

Can we celebrate Independence Day while remembering that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven?

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends P...

What does biblical modesty actually look like?

Is it about hemlines and dress codes, or is it something much deeper?

In this special interview episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Malinda Pagel for an honest conversation about modesty, conviction, legalism, and honoring Christ in a culture that constantly tells women their value is found in their appeara...

Public school. Private school. Homeschool.

Few topics create more debate among Christian parents than education. As a homeschool mom, speaker, and curriculum creator, you might assume I believe homeschooling is the only right answer.

But after attending public school myself, having a husband who attended public school, raising children in public school, graduating one child from public school, and homeschooling for many years, I&rs...

As a homeschool mom, speaker, and curriculum creator, this may be one of the most important things I’ve ever said: Homeschooling won’t save your children. Now before you panic, hear me out.

I believe school choice matters. I believe parents should be intentional. I believe discipleship matters.

But after years of parenting, homeschooling, and watching families walk different paths, I’ve come to realize something i...

June is Pride Month, and for many Christians, it raises an important question: How should we respond?

In a culture that increasingly equates love with affirmation, many believers feel caught between speaking the truth and showing compassion.

But Scripture never asks us to choose between the two.

In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, Ingrid takes a biblical look at Pride Month, homosexuality, truth, love, and what it mea...

Birth control and family planning are topics that many Christian couples wrestle with, but they’re not always discussed openly—or thoughtfully.

As a mom of ten, this is a question I get asked often, so in today’s episode, I’m sharing where my husband and I personally landed on birth control and family planning, how our convictions developed over time, and why we believe Christians should think through these ...

Manifestation is everywhere right now.

From self-help culture and social media trends to affirmation language and “speaking things into existence,” the message is constant: you have the power to create your own reality. But is that actually biblical?

In today’s episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, Ingrid takes a biblical look at manifestation culture, affirmations, positive thinking, and the subtle shift from...

Beauty culture is reaching girls younger and younger.

From skincare routines and makeup tutorials to constant conversations about appearance, perfection, and “fixing flaws,” the pressure surrounding beauty has become overwhelming—and as Christian moms, we have to ask deeper questions about what we’re participating in and what we’re modeling for our daughters.

In today’s episode of the Truth Over ...

Yoga is everywhere.

It’s in workout apps, studios, and even spaces labeled “Christian.”

It’s often presented as simple stretching, relaxation, or a way to slow down in a busy life. But is it actually harmless?

In this episode, Ingrid takes a clear and biblical look at what yoga really is, where it comes from, and why that matters for Christian women who want to live with discernment.

This is not a conversati...

Aging isn’t the problem—but the way we think about it might be. In today’s culture, aging is treated like something to fix, prevent, or reverse.

From subtle pressures to “get your body back” after having children to more visible trends like mommy makeovers, the message is clear: your value is tied to how you look. But is that actually true?

In this episode, Ingrid walks through what the world gets wr...

You already know what to do.

Eat better. Move your body. Be consistent.

So why does it still feel like it’s not working?

In this episode, Ingrid breaks down the real reason so many Christian women feel stuck in their health—and it’s not a lack of knowledge. It’s the approach.

From chasing quick fixes and products to living in all-or-no...

What happens when the way you’ve been parenting… isn’t actually rooted in Scripture?

In this episode, Ingrid shares a real and honest look at how her parenting has shifted over time—from cultural norms and behavior-based expectations to intentional, biblical discipleship inside the home.

As a mom in a blended family who came to faith later in life, this conversation unpacks the reality of raising children i...
