Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and blessing to each other in the role God has called us to as women.

And this fact is the cornerstone of our faith, because without it, we have no hope.

I'm not going to go into all the historical facts, but I will just state that there is enough solid evidence out there to support it.

I'll link to a couple of resources in the show notes for you, but I hold fast to this truth, and if you're
