Building Strong Homes: Blueprints to Strengthen Your Faith and Family podcast

Welcome to Building Strong Homes, the podcast where faith meets family in the most practical and powerful ways. I’m your host, Carol Roper, wife, mom and former home designer who used to spend my days drafting floor plans and designing details, but now I help wives and moms design lives based on God’s word.

This podcast is for women who want more than survival mode. You want clarity. You want purpose. You want a home that stands strong—not just physically, but spiritually. Inside each episode, you’ll find practical tools that include:

*How to strengthen your marriage and motherhood through biblical truth

*Candid conversations with men and women who’ve faced real challenges and found God’s grace

*Encouragement to stand firm, even when culture says otherwise

*Actionable ways to bless your home and influence your community

If you’ve ever wondered how your ordinary days could build something extraordinary, you’re in the right place. Discover biblical blueprints for shaping a legacy that reflects God’s design—one brick of faith at a time.
