about

I’m Brenda, a Catholic wife and mom who believes the Gospel is meant to be lived simply and authentically. This blog is rooted in the belief that holiness is found in simplicity, surrender, and daily faithfulness. Through The Simple Gospel, I write about faith, motherhood, and holistic wellness, all grounded in the belief that caring for the body and soul go hand in hand. My hope is to encourage women to slow down, nourish their families well, grow closer to God through everyday faithfulness, and live out the Gospel in ordinary life.

    Learning to Rest

    By: Brenda Wieneke Last night, our almost 9-month-old decided not to sleep at all. When we put him into his crib, he immediately began crying and yelling.
