Homeschooling Won’t Save Your Children | S2:Ep26

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 important: No curriculum, co-op, private school, public school, or homeschool schedule can do what only God can do.
In this episode of the Truth Over Trends Podcast, we’re having an honest conversation about school choice, discipleship, parenting, and the danger of placing our hope in a method instead of Christ.
✨ In this episode:
• Why school choice matters
• Why homeschooling is a tool—not a savior
• The difference between faithfulness and guaranteed results
• Why Christian parents often carry burdens God never intended
• Where our ultimate hope should be placed

Love, Truth, and Pride Month: How Should Christians Respond? | S2:Ep25

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 means to be salt and light in a culture that is moving further and further away from God’s design.
This is not a political conversation.
It’s a biblical one.
✨ In this episode:
• What Scripture says about sexual sin
• Why love and affirmation are not the same thing
• What it means to be salt and light
• Why pride is a problem for all of humanity
• How Christians can respond with both truth and grace
• Why the Gospel remains the answer

• 1 Corinthians 6:9–11
• 1 Corinthians 13:6

Birth Control, Family Planning, and Where We Personally Landed | S2:Ep24

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 decisions prayerfully and biblically rather than simply accepting whatever culture says is normal.
This is not a debate episode, and it’s not about creating rules for every Christian family.
It’s simply an honest conversation about our journey, our convictions, and the importance of approaching these decisions with wisdom, discernment, and a biblical view of life.
✨ In this episode:

• How our thinking changed as we matured spiritually

• Why our view of life beginning at conception shaped our convictions

• Why we do not believe all family planning is automatically wrong

• The importance of understanding how different methods work

• Why the heart behind the decision matters
📖 Featured Scriptures:

• Romans 12:2

• Psalm 139:13–14

• James 1:5

• Psalm 127:3

Manifestation is everywhere right now.

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 dependence on God to dependence on self.
This conversation is not about fear or negativity—it’s about discernment and understanding the difference between biblical faith and self-focused spirituality.
✨ In this episode:
• Why manifestation culture is spreading so quickly
• The difference between biblical faith and self-trust
• How affirmations can quietly become self-focused
• Why Christians are called to surrender, not control
• What Scripture actually says about trusting God

Is Yoga Actually Harmless? A Biblical Look at What You’re Practicing | S2:Ep21

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 conversation about avoiding movement or taking care of your body—it’s about understanding what you’re participating in and aligning your choices with truth.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why yoga is not just stretching
• The spiritual origins behind the practice
• Why intention doesn’t redefine meaning
• What it means to be discerning and set apart

What the World Gets Wrong About Aging | S2:Ep19

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 wrong about aging and contrasts it with a biblical perspective rooted in identity, stewardship, and truth. This is not about judging decisions—it’s about examining the heart behind them and asking a deeper question: what are we believing about ourselves?
 
In this episode, we cover:
• The fear of aging and trusting God’s design
• How culture shifts our identity toward appearance
• What we’re modeling for our children
• The difference between stewardship and obsession
• How to approach your body with peace instead of pressure This is a conversation about more than appearance—it’s about where your identity is rooted and how that shapes the way you live.

Eat better. Move your body. Be consistent.
 
So why does it still feel like it’s not working?

From chasing quick fixes and products to living in all-or-nothing cycles, to relying on feelings instead of obedience—this episode brings a bold, biblical reset to what health is actually supposed to look like.
 
This is not about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters—God’s way.

Parenting the World’s Way vs God’s Way: What We Had to Unlearn 🎙 S2:Ep17

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 in different seasons, unlearning what once felt “normal,” and choosing faithfulness over fairness.
This is not about perfection—it’s about growth, conviction, and aligning your home with truth one step at a time.
In this episode, we cover:
• The difference between raising well-behaved kids vs discipled children
• How culture quietly shapes your home (and how to guard it)
• Moving from reactive parenting to intentional training
• Why “fair” parenting isn’t always faithful parenting
• Practical ways to start shifting your home without overwhelm
• Grace for the process—because we are all still learning If you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring this out as you go… this episode is for you.

Breaking Up with Pinterest Christianity | 5 Lies Christian Women Believe | S2:Ep.16

What if the version of Christianity you’ve been living… isn’t actually rooted in truth? In this episode, we’re talking about what I’m calling Pinterest Christianity—a version of faith that looks good on the outside, feels encouraging, and fits neatly into everyday life… but often lacks depth, conviction, and transformation.
Not because we’re trying to live that way— but because it’s subtle. It’s normalized. And it’s everywhere.
These are the quiet lies that shape how we think, how we live, and how we justify things we don’t even question anymore.
In this episode, we walk through five of those lies:
• “God just wants me to be happy”
• “I can live like the world as long as I love Jesus”
• “I’ll start when things slow down”
• “I’m doing better than I used to, so I’m good”
• “This sin isn’t that bad—it’s not a big deal” This isn’t about condemnation.
It’s about clarity. Because following Christ was never meant to be about what’s comfortable— it’s about what’s true.
And sanctification doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the daily, ongoing process of aligning your life with God’s Word—one decision at a time.
