My new book is here, and it is so much more gorgeous in person! If you're excited to get your hands in the soil, I hope you'll pick up a copy of this a prayerful and practical guide to growing food for your family and cultivating seasonal abundance--wherever you are planted!

Loved this interview with Krystal at Messy But Marian, and the title she chose could not be more on point: “How to Be Human in an Artificial World” Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3yCbdK…

Great conversation with Maeve Jemison on Homeschooling for Catholic Parents sharing about bioethics and my new books! buzzsprout.com/2306441/episod…

The Carmelite sisters in Alhambra, CA, suffered a devastating fire on Easter weekend. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the retreat center needs serious rebuilding. Please be generous if you can! sacredheartretreathouse.com/fire-26/

Less than a century ago, our food wasn’t in grocery stores. It was in homes, in larders, and in gardens. Today, many Americans don’t even know how to cook for themselves. crisismagazine.com/opinion/if-you… via @CrisisMag

If You want to MAHA, plant a garden. We debate spend billions on supplements, medications, and biohacking trends; meanwhile, we ignore one of the most powerful and accessible tools for restoring human health. My latest at @CrisisMag : crisismagazine.com/opinion/if-you…

Samantha Stephenson (@sstephenson614) is the author of "The Bellbind Letters: Inside the Devil's Plan for Your Motherhood," a fresh take on C. S. Lewis’s classic, The Screwtape Letters. In Stephenson’s book, the devil, Bellbind, is tempting a Catholic mother trying to live faithfully, rather than a new convert to Christianity, like in "The Screwtape Letters." “C.S. Lewis was psychologically brilliant,” Stephenson said. “The time and context has changed, but the human heart hasn’t, though there might be new tools for temptation.” “When it’s fiction, we can relate to the person and say, ‘Oh, that’s me.’ Then I can ask for the grace I need to turn things around specifically in a way that challenges mothers and the feminine heart.” If you’re a mother trying to live a holy vocation, watch this interview. Think of five mothers you know who would benefit from it. Forward it to them. Stephenson asks, “How does that little voice whisper to you? Or, if you aren't tempted to one extreme, how can you be tempted to the other? Because virtue is the midpoint between two extremes.” Learn how the enemy can tempt you away from virtue and toward vice by watching the interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=SG_J4C…

Just finished this video of our progress transforming our typical suburban lawn into a productive space that feeds our family. Such good memories over these last 5 years! youtu.be/oLFEaATjUSs?si…

Our souls are like gardens. They are places where good things grow, where weeds creep in, and where the Master Gardener is always at work. 🪏 Check out the full #BISblog by Samantha Stephenson titled "Cultivating the Garden of Our Souls" at blessedisshe.net/blog! 🌿

Listen Here: The Devil has a special plan of attack for Mothers. Inspired by the Screwtape Letters, Samantha Stephenson @sstephenson614 imagines a conversation between two demons about the unique trials and tribulations our moms are facing. She joins us: avemariapm.substack.com/p/the-devils-p…

Always a joy to share my conversion story—and to see what the Spirit brings out differently each time! youtube.com/watch?v=E5Ly70…

Okay this is lowkey a surreal moment. Lead Like Jael is officially on AUDIBLE. As a mom of little’s, most of the books I “read” are audiobooks. It’s the best for errands, walks, and meeting moms where they are. My hope is LLJ is likewise a blessing to moms listening.

@AnnaKateShelt Thank you!! :)

@sstephenson614 Soooo exciting! Congrats, friend!

This is very exciting. I just finished reading Jane Eyre for the first time last year. Well worth a read if you haven’t before!

@emlwaters Congrats! Preordered and excited to dive in! :)

Gm, Lead Like Jael launches March 24th 🥳 Stay tuned and preorder today! a.co/d/0ewk26OA
