Missional Motherhood: with podcast link!
Once again, I am packing our trailer as we prepare for our annual fall camping trip. As we celebrate our two little boys’ birthdays we will bike through leaves, read around the campfire and watch the seasons change right under our feet.
This is my favorite trip of the year!
Most Mondays I listen to the Lab I:68 podcast as I fold laundry, but today it is a little weird as I am hearing my own voice.
During the recording a few weeks ago my friend Leah Rempel asked me about missions and mothering, and how this journey of weaving faith and living for Jesus has played out with babies, toddlers, tweens, homeschooling, marriage, business and ministry so far.
It was a privilege to talk about faith in the messy middle of motherhood!
Here is the challenge she has given us this week!
I really believe in the message that comes through in this podcast. I hope this episode is an encouragement to live with intention, no matter the season, and to embrace grace.

We will talk more about this next month!

Charlene strings together soulful words for life’s beauty and struggles.
When not feeding her six children with good books and endless meals, she can be found walking and talking with neighbours, folding laundry while listening to a podcast, or reading and reflecting on her latest stack of books for seminary.
She also cheers on her husband, who runs their Edmonton-based renovation company. They welcomed six children in eight years and are living the dream of homeschooling and traveling life together!
