HomeWise: Building Blocks for Discerning Women

HomeWise: Building Blocks for Discerning Women

Highlands Ministries

As a wife, mother of ten, and seasoned homeschool mom, Kara knows that wisdom is essential in building a strong family and home life. In this weekly podcast Kara Murphy talks with her husband Steve about how women can build up their families instead of tear them down. They share the biblical wisdom they have learned through many years of parenting and homeschooling. Proverbs tells us that, “The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.” This podcast is both an encouragement and a challenge to rise above the folly that marks our culture and be HomeWise!
