Merry Christmas, Momma! If you’re driving around tackling Christmas errands, I’m so glad you’re here. Today on Drive Thru Moms, we’re talking about one simple, powerful tip to help Christian moms discern truth, teach our kids godly principles, and plant seeds about Jesus at home—especially as we step into 2026.
I share a funny—but eye-opening… where I bought a kids book thinking it was a sweet bedtime story. A year later, I finally read it and realized it was definitely not what I thought. 🙈 And God used that moment to remind me: Perspective matters. Truth matters. And what we feed our kids’ minds matters.
In this episode, we talk about: ✨ How to discern what’s true in a world full of opinions ✨ Why Christian moms need a biblical framework for teaching our kids ✨ Why Scripture—not culture—must guide our parenting
If you’ve ever wondered what to teach your kids, how to raise them with a biblical worldview, or how to find peace instead of worry, this short episode will encourage your heart and ground your mind in Christ.
Drive Thru Moms: Overcoming fear and discovering truth in Christ—one real-life moment at a time.
ENJOY friends and HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Do you have a love/hate relationship with gardening? I’ve been there—spending hours in the dirt, only to feel like nothing grows. But this year, our backyard garden taught me more than I expected—about patience, persistence, and staying rooted in Christ.
In this episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, I share how tending our garden became a way to grow faith, build family moments, and teach our kids about God’s love. From successes (hello, cantaloupe!) to lessons learned (goodbye, struggling tomatoes), we’ll talk about how the principles of gardening mirror motherhood, Bible study, and daily life with Christ.
If you’re a busy or SAHM trying to see fruit in your family, your faith, or your home life, this episode will encourage you to plant intentionally, nurture growth, and trust God to do the rest.
Have you ever felt the worry of raising your kids in the faith, or wondered if you were the only one? As a SAHM with three kids in my home for 26 years, I knew that feeling well. Today, I’m sharing how a simple Bible study reshaped the way I saw motherhood, community, and the spiritual battles we face in motherhood. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough—or if you can really teach your kids about faith and find belonging —this episode is for you.
ENJOY friends and HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, host Lynn Nitcher sits down with special guest Amanda Guillot for an honest and deeply meaningful conversation about navigating motherhood after losing a parent to suicide.
As part of Suicide Awareness Week, Lynn and Amanda gently walk through Amanda’s story—how losing her mom shaped her as a daughter, a woman of faith, and now, as a mom raising three children of her own. Together, they explore how grief doesn’t have to define you, how God brings healing through His presence and people, and the power of staying rooted in hope through seasons of sorrow.
We also talk practically about:
Parenting through grief and learning to be honest with your kids
How Amanda has intentionally built a home filled with grace, safety, and open conversations
The impact of losing a parent on milestone moments
Why godly mentors and community matter so deeply
What the Bible says about comfort, loss, and hope
With Scripture, statistics, and real-life perspective, this episode is both a sacred space for moms who have experienced loss and an important listen for any mom wanting to lead with compassion, intention, and faith—especially during the teenage years.
📖 Scriptures shared: Psalm 34:18, Psalm 46:1-3, 1 Peter 1:3
Whether you’ve walked through grief yourself or are walking with someone else who has, this conversation is filled with encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in Christ, we are never without hope.

Are you already feeling overwhelmed—and school hasn’t even started yet? In this episode of Drive Thru Moms, we talk about the pressure-packed pace of motherhood and how being overscheduled, overstimulated, and stretched thin is robbing us of peace.
Inspired by the simple but powerful Downton Abbey quote, “Much cattle, much care,” we unpack how too many commitments can quietly pull us away from God's best for our family.
Let’s talk about:
What Scripture says about being distracted and doing too much
Why less might actually mean more peace this school year
Three practical ways to reset your calendar and your soul
Your kids don’t need a mom who does it all—they need a mom who’s available, obedient, and at peace.
🎧 Tune in and take a deep breath—this one’s for every mom who’s tired of managing a herd she was never meant to carry.

As moms, we may not wear crowns, but we carry influence that echoes for generations. In this episode, we look at how the Bible speaks about kings—some who led their people into righteousness, and others whose disobedience led entire nations into sin. What can we learn from their leadership about our role as mothers?
Scripture reminds us that “the people followed their king into sin” (see 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles), showing the ripple effect of a leader’s choices. As moms, our spiritual leadership—whether quiet or visible—shapes the atmosphere of our homes and the hearts of our children.
We'll dive into:
What kind of "kingdom" are we building?
The legacy we’re leaving through everyday decisions.
How our obedience or disobedience to God influences those entrusted to us.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your choices really matter—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about the power of our yes to God, and how leading with love, humility, and faith can change the course of our families for generations.

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, I’m joined by two very special guests—my daughter, Lacey Dean, and our dear family friend, Jessica Gibson—for a real and honest conversation about the power of a woman’s words.
Together, we explore how what we say—and how we say it—can shape the emotional and spiritual tone of our homes, especially in our marriages and motherhood. From daily frustrations to defining moments, our speech has the potential to either build up or tear down the people we love most.
We dig into Scripture to discover what the Bible teaches about the tongue, wisdom, and the influence God has entrusted to women. You’ll hear personal stories, lessons learned, and encouragement to use your voice in a way that reflects Christ and brings life to your family.
If you’ve ever struggled with what to say—or regretted what you already said—this conversation is for you.

As we celebrate freedom this Fourth of July, this episode of the Summer of Scripture series invites us to pause and reflect on where our true independence begins—not in a nation, but in a surrendered heart.
Pulled from a devotional in my book, Faithful Before, Faithful Again, we’ll talk about what it really looks like to be faithful in our priorities and how putting God first gives meaning to all the other freedoms we enjoy. Whether you're at a backyard BBQ or watching fireworks, this is a reminder that the most powerful allegiance we can have is to the One who sets us truly free.

It’s easy to let our thoughts race ahead—to next week, next month, or even next year. But in today’s Summer of Scripture (SOS) episode, we’re taking a fresh look at what God teaches us through manna: that His provision is daily, and His presence is enough for right now.
You’ll be reminded that you don’t need to stockpile peace, answers, or strength for tomorrow—because God meets us today. Right where we are.
This is your permission to stop striving and start trusting, one day at a time.
👉 Listen now and lean into the peace of His daily provision.
