My Top 10 Posts of 2024
In January every year, I like to look back and see which of my posts received the most traffic over the previous 12 months. Doing so helps me better understand what content most resonates with my readers. It also allows me to share my top 10 posts of 2024 with anyone who might be curious to spot the same kind of trends I’m looking for.
Top 10 Posts of 2024
Of the posts I published last year, the following 10 enjoyed the most traction:
10. How to Find Lasting Happiness (Episode 29)
Why does happiness elude so many people who search for it? If you’ve ever wondered how to find lasting happiness, this episode of Loving LIfe at Home is for you.
9. How to Get Stuff Done (Episode 32)
In this podcast I pull back the curtain on habits that have helped me be more productive over the years. I hope you’ll find them helpful for getting stuff done, as well.
8. Taking Every Thought Captive
I received a message from a fellow mother-of-many last year asking if I could publish a list of verses on taking every thought captive. Here’s the one I compiled.
7. Bible Memory Tips (Episode 28)
Memorizing Scripture is one of the most worthwhile activities we can devote our time to. It enriches our lives and packs powerful spiritual, mental, physical and emotional benefits . If you’d like to prioritize Bible Memory in this new year, the tips and tricks I share in today’s podcast will help you do it.
6. Marriage to a Difficult Man (Episode 66)
Several years ago, I read a book entitled Marriage to a Difficult Man. I felt a little self-conscious toting it around with me at the time, lest anyone assume it was a how-to book rather than what it actually was: a biography of the famous 18th-century revivalist preacher Jonathan Edwards in relation to his very patient and supportive wife.
I had a similar concern in publishing this episode, which offers advice to a reader looking for help dealing with what she calls a “Jekyll and Hyde” husband, as I have no first-hand experience dealing with anything that extreme.
5. A Prayer for the Lost
If you’ve been around here for long, you know I love creating free printable prayer guides. So after receiving several requests for help in praying for unsaved friends and family, I came up with this Prayer for the Lost.
4. How to Build a Happy Marriage (Episode 34)
In Episode 34 of The Loving Life at Home Podcast, we’re discussing the #1 Rule for building a happy marriage. Can you guess what it is? Listen in to find out (or click through the link to read the transcript).
3. A Prayer for the Church
You can pray this for individual members in your local congregation, or for the universal Christian church that unites all believers. Either way, as we pray for the church, we should keep in mind the church is not the building in which we worship, but the people who meet inside it.
2. A Prayer for Sons
Our sons must navigate a world that is littered with landmines. Radical feminists hate men and try to pin on them the responsibility for everything wrong in the world. Schools medicate boys to curb their energy and make them more manageable. They are being exposed to easily accessible and increasingly graphic porn at younger and younger ages whether they are intentionally looking for it or not.
Clearly, our boys need prayer! Which is why I designed this free printable Prayer for Sons. It touches on several of the areas I’m most concerned about for my own sons. I hope you’ll find it helpful in interceding for yours, as well.
1. Can a Married Woman Have Male Friends? (Episode 39)
How should husbands and wives navigate individual friendships with the opposite sex? That’s our podcast topic this week, prompted by an email I got from a reader wanting to know, “Should a married woman have close male friends?”
If you examine that list closely, you may notice the same trends I do:
- 50% of the top 10 posts are overtly Christian
- 40% of the top 10 posts are related to marriage
- 40% deal with self-improvement
- 30% contain a free printable prayer guide
- 10% deal with parenting issues and
If you consider my most popular posts of all time, the list stacks up a little differently, but the underlying themes remain the same:
