    So refreshing & grounded in TRUTH
    I really enjoy your conversations. The episode about friendship especially touched my heart. Thank you for sharing a part of yourselves with us through this podcast! As a busy homeschooling mama, I can appreciate the sacrifice of time and effort to minister to the hearts of other Christian moms. God bless you both!

    Sound Biblical Truth for the Home
    I have been following Home Fires since the beginning and I absolutely love the sound biblical truth they discuss in each episode. Abigail, I’m so thankful you kept this last season going with Jenni! Your podcast is my favorite go-to and I always find Christ-Bible-centered encouragement!
  • ncfull
    Favorite Podcast for Christian Women!
    This is such a wonderful podcast! All of the discussions are so helpfully practical, and often leave me with tangible takeaways to either think about or act on. I appreciate all of the godly wisdom and experience from Abigail, Tilly, and now Jenni! Please keep making this!
  • RcknJess
    Friends who have a conversation
    It’s always a joy to listen and hear friends talking. They even challenge each other to examine themselves in light of God’s word! So helpful to me!
  • Mmmireee
    Best Podcast? Yes!!!
    I am absolutely in love with this podcast. I recommend it to all my friends and family.
  • Laura Stueve
    To God be the glory
    In the midst of countless podcasts and lots of voices, this podcast is a bright light. I have enjoyed it immensely! Abigail and Tilly, your voices are so needed. Your wisdom is a lighthouse. Thank you!
  • SarieOJane
    Happy, faithful listener.
    So glad to find this podcast after reading Abigail’s book, “(A)typical Woman”. Love the honest, focused conversations that Tilley & Abigail let us into as well as the range of biblically-minded guests that listeners get exposed to. Trying to muster up the courage to read through Tilley’s “Seeing Green” this year. :) Thankful for the (unexpected) second season! Keep the episodes coming, ladies!
  • Becky Crowell
    Beautiful!
    Your voices are so needed. Thank you for this ministry! Tilly and Abigail are a great team.
  • Emmlane
    Yes!
    I am so encouraged that there is a women's podcast about the unique call and gifting of the female role and responsibilities in the home. Abigail and Tilly do an incredible job at provoking thought in both love and humility. I truly do hope there are many seasons to come. Update for the new season: Still 5 stars, of course! Every episode leaves me feeling exhorted, encouraged and excited to continue on in my work. PS: the recent Christmas episode, talking about fashion trends: YES. Thank you! Feel like I found my people 😜
  • Brooke Cedars
    Rich biblical insight
    Listening to Tilly and Abigail, it feels like I am having a conversation with a dear sister in Christ. Their insights into Scripture are refreshing for the soul. I thank God for an opportunity to be discipled by these women from afar.
  • grace and faith alone
    encouraging
    such an encouragement for women! hoping for more episodes in the future!
  • rach.richman
    Great podcast
    I enjoy listening to two sisters in the faith discussing real life topics. A note to whomever is editing... the song that plays throughout the podcast is much louder than the voices of the ladies, and is startling.
  • carolstevick
    Wonderful Podcast!
    I just found this podcast through a friend and am so delighted to get to listen to these thoughtful women share their wisdom. I appreciate so much their commitment to God’s word and willingness to dive into His loving truth. I especially appreciate the chats about complementarianism as it’s such an important topic and there is so much confusion within the church about it. I wish all my Christian friends would listen to this podcast and be encouraged! Thanks ladies!
  • Deb Dum
    Great find
    I love hearing these two mama’s hearts for their home. I especially enjoyed the Rosaria Butterfield episode but all have been great!
  • KassyandraH
    Great words of wisdom!
    I love this podcast for its scriptural wisdom but some episodes have a low loud hum that play through making it really hard to listen to.
  • abcsarahmn
    Interesting
    I am enjoying this podcast but I also wish they would get rid of the song between sections. I like to listen to the podcast while resting in bed and the music is so startling!
  • mcneilla
    Solid and helpful
    Abigail and Tilly are clear, helpful, and willing to tackle difficult topics. I enjoy both the interviews and just the two of them talking. Highly recommend!
  • D2Ent
    Lovely!
    Loving this podcast from two women in the trenches. I do wish they’d drop the song in between sections.
  • Lindsay Blue
    Encouraged me!
    These two women have a clear vision of God’s particular design for women within the home. Their conversation made me excited to be a woman following Jesus. I’m looking forward to more of their thoughtful discussion.
  • MrsSally57M
    Enjoyed the Insight
    This was very insightful and well done! There were lot of things brought up that I had not ever thought of - such as a child coming to the Mom looking for nourishment because she had been the provider of such since before birth and how Christ is our nourisher and has done the same for us. The great connection of bread and the Bread of Life. Many good points brought out about women and our differences from men and that it is good to have those differences - was so great to hear. So tired of hearing women being ‘offended’ because we are not the same as, equal to, or above men. You both gave great encouragement to women that our God given role is important, often demanding, hard, requires intelligence, wisdom and strength. However there is great reward in embracing our role as women and as such we are to humble ourselves and be encouraged to move forward with every task the Lord puts in our path. We often tend to forget that our worth is not in obtaining what we ‘dream of’ or what others have - it is in Christ alone. Thank you for this podcast, looking forward to hearing more! Sally M

    Thought provoking and Christ glorifying
    It took me so long to make peace with my role as woman in the home. These two women labor to show there is glory to be found in our God-given roles. What a helpful worldview for finding joy and ambition in building our homefires! Relevant and beautiful!
  • SamanthaFTurner
    Looking forward to this season!
    I’ve been a fan of Abigail Dodd’s’ work for a while, and I’m so excited to hear more from her and Tilly! Smart, godly women seeking to encourage other women in gospel ministry through their homes and lives.
