Moms With A Call

Welcome back to Moms With A Call, where real stories meet real faith.
In this powerful episode, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with licensed professional counselor Meaghan Hampton, founder of Soul Care for Families. Meaghan’s heart beats for helping parents integrate psychology, theology, and child development so they can raise children who are both emotionally healthy and spiritually grounded.
Through her work, Meaghan has seen how cycles of fear and shame can break families down, but also how God can rebuild them through connection, repair, and grace. Together, we dive into what it means to parent through a Christ-centered lens, moving beyond punishment to true discipline that reflects the heart of Jesus.
This conversation explores the neuroscience of co-regulation, the difference between our “God image” and “God concept,” and why modeling apologies and repair is one of the most powerful gifts we can give our children.
If you’ve ever wrestled with parental guilt, wondered how your parenting aligns with your faith, or longed for practical ways to build a home marked by freedom, faith, and healing; this one’s for you.
We talk about:
Parenting in the digital age and the pressures of social media
The difference between punishment and discipline through a biblical lens
How repair and modeling apologies reshape our children’s view of God
Breaking cycles of fear, punishment, and shame in family systems
Co-regulation and why your presence matters more than perfection

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with Rebecca’s husband Ross and his brother Jordan to share the untold story of how “God showed up” in the wake of Hurricane Helene, not with loud miracles, but through quiet obedience, divine timing, and two brothers who said yes to the assignment placed at their feet.
What started as a desperate need in their Western North Carolina hometown became a Spirit-led mission of relief, coordination, and community mobilization. Ross and Jordan walk us through the chaos, the sacred moments, the logistical nightmares, and the unmistakable ways God provided through it all, from strangers showing up unprompted to divine encounters that could only be explained by faith.

Episode Description:Welcome to Moms With A Call, a space for the spiritually curious and the courageously healing.
In this deeply personal episode, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with McKenzie’s husband, Evan Jevnikar (aka @dailydinoguy), for an unfiltered and hope-filled conversation about faith, addiction, identity, and confession.
Evan shares his story, from growing up in Arizona and committing to Christianity at a young age, to struggling with pornography addiction, battling suicidal thoughts during COVID, and ultimately finding healing through community, accountability, and God’s relentless love.
This isn’t a conversation about perfection. It’s a conversation about honesty. About letting go of the version of “corporate Jesus” we were taught and discovering a God who sees every part of us and stays.
We talk about:- Early faith and hidden addictions- Shame, confession, and the power of accountability- The impact of porn addiction on identity and relationships- How paleontology and faith surprisingly align- God’s faithfulness in the darkest seasons

Show Notes:Welcome back to the Midnight Series where the conversations run deep, the lights are low, and nothing is off-limits.
In this vulnerable episode, Rebecca and McKenzie open up about the spiritual warfare they faced in the weeks leading up to launching the podcast and how it shaped everything.
From anxiety attacks to demonic encounters, they share what it’s really like to prepare spiritually for something God is calling you into. This isn’t a polished or tidy conversation; it’s an honest one about doubt, fear, surrender, and the power of prayer when everything feels heavy.
We talk about:
How spiritual warfare shows up in everyday life
The pressure, resistance, and fear before saying “yes” to God
Why confession, prayer, and truth-telling are essential to growth
Childhood spiritual encounters that made a lasting impact
The funny (and very real) story of the shampoo bottle moment
If you’ve ever felt like following God stirred something in the spiritual realm or made you question if you were “crazy” for feeling it, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone. The battle is real. And so is the One who fights with you.

From overcoming insecurities to navigating Sterling’s life-threatening health battle, this episode is a powerful testament to love refined through fire, and the strength found in community, prayer, and God’s provision.
