Discovering Home Podcast: Faith, Peace, and Purpose at Home for Christian Moms
Biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to help you walk in faith, clarity, and confidence at home.
Whether you’re a working mom sensing God’s call to slow down or a stay-at-home mom needing fresh encouragement, Discovering Home will help you find clarity and confidence in your God-given calling.
Welcome to Discovering Home — the podcast that helps you discern God’s voice and step confidently into a home-centered life filled with faith, peace, and purpose.
Each week, Karla B. Monterrosa, author, speaker, and coach, shares biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and real-life stories to help you walk in faith, clarity, and confidence as you build a life that honors God at home.
After leaving a 20-year career in public service to follow God’s call home, Karla now equips Christian working moms to discern God’s leading and embrace a slower, purpose-filled life centered on faith and family.
Because home is holy work—and motherhood is a ministry worthy of your time, energy, and talents.
