In this episode of Daily Bread and Laundry Piles, Lora unpacks what it really means to serve others with a Christ-like heart. From a sweet and unexpected moment with her son at church, to the everyday tasks of motherhood, she reminds us that service doesn’t have to be grand or flashy—it can be as simple as carrying a coffee cup, folding laundry, or encouraging a friend.

Through Scripture, Lora points us back to the truth that serving is not what saves us, but it is the fruit of a life surrendered to Jesus. Service is both a biblical command and an act of worship, shaping us to look more like Christ while pointing others to Him.

If you’ve ever wondered how to serve faithfully in your home, your church, and your community—or felt weary in pouring yourself out—this episode will encourage you to keep pressing on and to rest in the strength of the Lord who first served us.

What does a broken grocery cart, a stranger’s kindness, and a mason jar full of flowers have to do with homeschooling preschoolers? In this episode of Daily Bread and Laundry Piles, Lora shares a sweet, unexpected moment that reminded her of God’s perfect timing—and how that truth applies to our children’s early education.

We’ll talk about the pressure to rush preschool milestones, the wisdom of Charlotte Mason’s gentle approach, and why formal academics too early can actually hinder a child’s love of learning. You’ll hear research-backed insights, practical tips for creating a rich learning atmosphere at home, and encouragement to embrace these early years without fear of “falling behind.”

Whether you’re just starting your homeschool journey or deep in the preschool years, this episode will help you slow down, savor the season, and trust that God’s timing is always right—both in life and in learning.

Have you ever felt that tug to homeschool, only to be met with a flood of fears...I’m not smart enough... patient enough... equipped enough...?

In this deeply personal and truth-filled episode, we’re going straight to the heart of those doubts. Spoiler alert: they’re not from God.

Join me as we take a raw, grace filled look at the roots of the modern education system, why so many moms feel unequipped, and the spiritual battle quietly waging behind the scenes. You’ll hear some powerful history, eye opening stats, and gospel centered encouragement that will challenge what you think you know about education and affirm what God has already placed within you.

Whether you’re a seasoned homeschool mama, feeling the call but scared to start, or somewhere in between, this episode was made for YOU. Together, we’ll debunk the biggest myths surrounding homeschooling, from “What about socialization?” to “What if my kids fall behind?” and realign our hearts to God’s design for parenting and discipleship.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being faithful.
Because, friend… you were chosen for this.
