    Listening for years!
    I started listening and following Karen’s practical, Biblical wisdom when own mother passed away and my oldest child (who is now 13) was a toddler. I hear her voice in my head encouraging me and advising me regularly. So thankful for all of her advice and love for mothers and families.

    So practical
    Love how easy it is to implement the suggestions and advice given. I am just another struggling mom looking for guidance from a Christian mom and found this podcast so helpful! Thank you all for what you do and being obedient in the call on your life to help moms in all stages of life!

    Karen makes parenting easier
    I’ve heard that parenting doesn’t not come with a handbook or instructions for your children, apparently they have not found Birds on a Wire like I did. 😊

    I LOVE BOAW!

It has been a life line for me & I'm so grateful for all you do for moms. Thank you so much! Mom to 3 girls; ages 8,6,4 Also, TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FAN all the way!!!

    Game changer!
    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this podcast! It helps me feel so empowered and strong and also relieved to know I’m not alone in my struggles. I’ve been recommending to my friends! Keep it up BOAW!
  • YeahI'mNotSayingMyName
    Anytime I’m in my car this is on!
    I’m obsessed with this podcast! Karen gives practical advice that is so helpful as the mom of a toddler who has no idea what she’s doing. So thankful my church introduced me to Karen Stubbs!
  • Mary Niwa
    Gives me hope when I feel defeated
    This podcast refreshes my mind and spirit and reminds me that I’m doing so many things right while also giving me tools to do better as a mom. Practical, rooted in truth, and episodes are just the right length.

    Personality colors- so practical and helpful
    New listener here and starting with the personality colors. I love this practical tool to bring more awareness to ourselves and our families. And how to interact in ways that support one another. So good!

    Practical advice for Moms!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since having my twin daughter back in 2018 and I still look forward every Tuesday to having Karen and Sunny in my ear buds! Karen gives such practical advice that isn’t overwhelming or feel like it is not achievable for you to do as a mom. I don’t think there is a topic wire talk hasn’t covered! I’m always referring back to this podcast whenever I need some advice on a certain struggle I’m facing as a mom!
  • Stacy U
    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! Of course I am a yellow Mom!
    My Step-Sister with 4 adopted kids turned me on to this!! I sent her a Brene’ Brown (must watch) video about sympathy vs empathy. She sent me this one and said “ I think you’re a sunny “yellow” mom. Let me know what you think!” YEP!! I am a yellow Mom with about 1/4 Red (my Mom’s nickname is Serge!) and it was neat to hear!! I’m also a Sales Director in Senior Living and people constantly tell me they love my “energy!” BUT it also helped me understand my sun, I think a Green kiddo and my hubby Blue/Red (the killer of all things FUN!). Thanks I will me sharing this!
  • lizzielesh
    Love!
    I’m so thankful I can across this podcast. I wish I had known about it when my kids were younger. It’s changed my whole outlook on parenting.

    I’m SO thankful that a friend told me about this podcast! It’s such a blessing to me. I love all of the advice and truly feel refreshed from listening. It helps me to realize that I’m not alone in anything that I’m going through as a mom. I truly think all moms would benefit from listening!

  • SaxonSeay
    Great show for Christian moms!
    Been listening to the show for years. Love hearing Karen’s answers to the questions of the BOAW community. Wanted to say thank you for your consistency and insight!
  • Couponlj
    Fun to listen to!
    This podcast is my FIRST listen every Tuesday morning! I love it sooooo much!! I have 2 teenagers, an elementary child, and a preschooler at home right now. Every podcast episode highlights something I can learn with at least one age group for my family. My favorite episodes are the ones geared toward personality types, because they have helped me to understand my kids at an even deeper level. Karen is always so practical and so gracious, and Sunny has a warmth about her each time she talks. I love both of them and we have never met! I financially support this ministry monthly and wish I could give even more. It’s truly my greatest resource as a mom! Thank you to everyone who makes it possible for this ministry to thrive!!!
  • HopeFilledSandra
    Love the James Bible study
    Thank you so much for sharing the James Bible study. It has been such an easy way to learn more about God’s word and how I can apply it to every day life. And it’s all at my finger tips, whenever and wherever I want to listen. Thank you and God bless all you do.
  • KatFeeney
    So thankful for Karen and BOAW!
    I have been learning from Karen’s wisdom since meeting her at a church event when my oldest daughter was in 3rd grade. My daughter will be a high school senior next year, and I’m not sure what I would have done without Karen and all her advice over the years. She continues to help me navigate each stage of parenting with all 3 of my children, and I am so grateful! I have enjoyed and benefited from this podcast since it began and wanted to say how much I LOVED this month’s study on the book of James! It was super helpful, and God truly used it to speak to me. Please do more Bible study when you can! Thank you Karen and the BOAW team!
  • Kleedawn
    Thankful.
    Super thankful for this “right on time” podcast! I feel like each episode has a nugget of truth that is exactly what I need to hear. It’s so nice to know that I’m not alone in the battle of motherhood. Thank you Karen!
  • Amber JeanC
    All the things
    I really enjoy listening to Karen share her biblical wisdom about all things motherhood. The new podcasts on her going through scripture have really been convicting and relatable.

    April Bible Study
    Karen, thank you for doing this beautiful Bible study! I think this is so needed in your groups and I’ve been hoping to hear more from you after the online SOAR conference with that amazing teaching. Love to see how God is still growing you to serve! Love to you!

    BEST PARENTING PODCAST
    Moms, give this a try. I’ve learned so much. Karen, you’re like a mentor mom to me, and we probably will never meet. Thanks for godly wisdom!
  • Thardy1990
    Soooo helpful!
    I first heard about Karen Stubbs from our women’s group at church! We are doing a session called Momcore and ever since I was introduced to this, I have not turned back! The episode I listened to tonight hit the nail right on the head as I am going through a tough time trying to figure out my pre teen daughter! Thanks Karen for this and God has truly Spoke through you and touched me and I’m sure so many other moms out there!
  • Tk904
    Very Helpful
    I’m so grateful for this podcast and I’ve been listening for years. I always laugh, sometimes cry and ALWAYS feel seen, heard and encouraged after listening to an episode. Love this podcast.
  • JfRatts
    So great
    This is the best podcast for moms. It is like we have an older wise sister/aunt to answer all of our questions. I can’t wait for the new ones to post. I just drove to Florida and listened to this podcast all the way there. It made the trip fly by. Couldn’t recommend this podcast any more.
  • hanphotos
    LOVEEE
    Literally my FAVORITE podcast!! I’m pregnant with my first child and this podcast has encouraged me so much and helped prepare me for what’s to come! I love the realness of the questions/answers and that everything is biblically based! Karen doesn’t sugar coat things but she also is so encouraging in her answers.. never making you feel guilty or bad as a mom! ❤️❤️
  • Genetixgal
    Fantastic
    As a full-time, working mom with a 17 yr old daughter, a 13 year old son, and a 6 year old son, I feel like I’m always in several different seasons of life at any given moment! I love that I can glean a little nugget of advice from just about any of these podcast episodes, and love that they always give you something practical that you can try implementing immediately! Thank you Karen and Sunny! ❤️
  • Paul ;)
    Tear Up Every time - it’s that good!
    I love this podcast. It’s simple and sweet but SO TRUE and so honest. I love the questions and the God inspired answers. The sass and reality is much appreciated also. Such a great podcast to get mom advice when we dearly need it. Deep dive into the archives and search for the good nuggets! Great for all moms for all ages.

    Love! Love! Love!
    This podcast is something I look forward to everyday! In EVERY single episode, no matter the subject, I can find something relevant, encouraging, practical, and helpful. Love the relationship between Karen and Sunny. I honestly feel like they are with me while I am listening and we are just having some mom talk over Chick-Fil-A sweet teas! Thank you for all you do for us mommas!!

    LIFE SAVER
    This podcast & ALL Karen does in her curriculum, etc. has been a huge lifesaver. It has gotten me through many tough, rough & dark times in my motherhood journey. It is my go-to mom resource & I share it with any & all moms I encounter. THANK YOU GOD FOR KAREN!
  • @rebekahgullo
    Has been SO helpful for me in the early years.
    This podcast has been my saving grace for years! I started listening when my son was under one and have been for years. It’s short, simple and to the point discussions and leaves me with a lighter happier heart. It’s like therapy for me!
  • toddy2shoes
    Refocused my parenting
    This podcast has been an absolute God send! So so many relatable topics with practical advice that has worked for me! I so appreciate the wisdom of these Moms who have gone before me.
  • Spens33
    Great Podcast w/Real Application
    I love that Karen has easy clear points on parenting. I also love that she embraces her own imperfections and real life experiences rather than taking a holier than thou attitude. I have been listening for 2 years and have an 2.5 months old, I will definitely be using her tips in the future.

    Toddler Mom
    I am a stay-at-home mom with a 2 year old, 1 year old, and one on the way. I am thankful for Birds on a Wire’s weekly episodes that help me get through each day and feel like I am not alone. I am encouraged by the practical tips and wisdom I have found on the show that point me back to Jesus.
