I am so grateful for this ministry and resource! I continue to come back here again and again as my children grow and come home with new questions. Mama Bear helps me organize the thoughts and knowledge of the Truth I already believe so that I can share it thoughtfully, lovingly, and coherently with my kids.

I have been listening to this podcast for awhile and love it. I rarely comment but was so blown away by the recent episode on Back to School Encouragement that I felt compelled to write a review. Every parent needs to hear this one! It is packed with so much wisdom and I plan to listen to it again and probably a third time just to unpack it all again and share some of this with my kids. I love that resources and references are included in the episode notes. Thank you Mama Bear Apologetics!!!

I have been encouraged by and learned from a bunch of these podcasts. The variety of topics are quite interesting and often applicable to me. However, I just listened to the one about yoga and feel it’s quite legalistic and also misinformed. I do not promote yoga as a Christian because of it’s Hindu background. But unfortunately, the hosts go on to laugh at actually scientific things like grounding and forest bathing. I am a Christian and integrative nutrition health coach, and I do understand these topics well. These don’t have to do with chakras, and no one thinks doing those will simply take away your burdens. There are proven mental and physical health benefits to both walking in the forest (doctors in Japan actually prescribe this for depression) and to grounding. Grounding is being barefoot on the earth. Energy is not a “fringe theory” or just a feeling. It’s scientific. Our bodies are electrical. There is electricity and ions in our environment. We ground a house’s electricity and we can do the same for our bodies. There is a surplus of positive ions in our environment because of things that radiate, like phones, microwaves and wifi. This causes issues like inflammation. The earth and moving water (like rivers or ocean) emit negative ions. When we spend time near or in either, our ions balance out and inflammation is greatly reduced. This is *not* a spiritual thing. This is why you can buy an ionizer for your house just like you can buy an air filter. Just like if you breathe, sleep and eat well (take care of you body), you will feel better. You can simultaneously steward your body well and trust in God.

I enjoy listening to these ladies, and appreciate their research. I do think that they lean a bit towards a legalistic/fear-driven mindset. I also really wish they’d update the intro, as the whole “check it, we keep it realz” line is pretty cringey, undermines the seriousness of their material, and has definitely made me hesitate to recommend the show to other moms.
