Mom: The missing ingredient in the MAHA movement

Mom: The missing ingredient in the MAHA movement

Written By Suzanne Venker Gone are the days when children are home with their mothers, when morning meant moving slowly, when kids played outside in their neighborhoods and were called inside at dusk, when TV viewing was limited, when bedtime was early, and when obesity and mental health issues were rare. That childhood was replaced with daycare, after-school care, fast food, unlimited screen time, latchkey kids, countless extra-curricular activities, no downtime, sleep deprivation, and childhood obesity. The most powerful voices…

Women Don’t Understand What Being a Keeper at Home Means

Women Don’t Understand What Being a Keeper at Home Means

Recently, I wrote my thoughts about Allie Beth Stuckey and Candace Owens in my private Facebook group. “God commands women to be keepers at home. Allie Beth and Candace Owens are no different than female preachers. They stand behind pulpits and preach in conferences. Allie even teaches theology, like Calvinism. She’s not biblically qualified to teach this. They travel often and must put in a lot of time and energy for their speeches, writing books, and podcasts. They both have…

Christ is the Secret to a Happy Home

He is the source of peace and joy, and His ways bring beauty and order into a home. A husband and wife loving each other who welcome children into their lives and raise them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. They attend a…

Women Need to Get Back Into the Kitchen

Women Need to Get Back Into the Kitchen

My grandmother grew up in a generation where most women married, bore children, and guided the home. Most of the food they ate was whole food; the way God created it and cooked from scratch. Many of them had their own gardens. My grandmother did. There were few toxic chemicals in the air back then. The land wasn’t being sprayed with toxic chemicals. The water was pure. Women weren’t on birth control pills so they knew if they had sex,…

A Day in My Simple Life

A Day in My Simple Life

As many of you know, I have had a lot of health problems since turning 30 years old. I am 65 years old. God has taught me many wonderful things through these years of trials and suffering. I raised four wonderful children while going through many health struggles. They saw a sick mother who never wavered in her faith of God Almighty and never asked, “Why me?” I was more, “Why not me?” His grace is indeed sufficient. I have…

Stopping the Early Marriage Movement

Stopping the Early Marriage Movement

“The American woman of today is not very different from her mother or grandmother. She is equally attached to the classic feminine values – sexual attractiveness, motherly devotion, and the nurturing role in home and community affairs. She is not a great figure in public life or the professions. And like most men, she is repelled by the slogans of old-fashioned feminism.” This was in “Harpers Magazine” in October of 1962. Women of this time were rejecting feminism of the…

The Importance of Women in the Kitchen

The Importance of Women in the Kitchen

There’s a reason women being “pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen” is now mocked these days. Women instead are praised for being in the workforce. The health of this nation has gone downhill quickly since women left their homes for the workforce and fast food joints popped up everywhere. Here is a great thread that was written By Casey Means on Twitter. Of all the unintended consequences of the feminist movement, perhaps the most generationally damaging was the implicit push…

The Steadfast, Home-Centered Woman

The Steadfast, Home-Centered Woman

Written in the New Harvest Homestead Newsletter in 2005 What is a “homestead woman?” Literally speaking, the word homestead means to be steadfast at home. I have been a Christian for 26 years, a wife for 25 years and a mother for 20. As the mother of six, I have experienced firsthand a particular dilemma in the lives of Christian women. We want to do the right thing. So, we volunteer, join, raise our hands and sign up, until our…

Droves of Christian Women are Now Career Minded

Droves of Christian Women are Now Career Minded

Written by Elisabeth Elliot from her book On Asking God Why Nowadays Christian women seem to be operating on the premise that they’re perfectly free to do anything they like, including work outside the home. Whether they’re young, middle-aged, or old, married or single, with children or without, droves of Christian women are now career-minded. Isn’t that okay? I’m not sure it is. Francis Schaeffer, shortly before he died, said, “Tell me what the world is saying now, and I’ll…
