A FEW FAVORITES FROM THE MONTH OF MAY

(Post by: Lilly Hobbs)

Happy June! The month of May felt like a beautiful blend of deep conversations, creative rhythms, and little reminders of why we started The Few in the first place. From celebrating five years of podcasting and six years of blogging (what?!), to answering rapid-fire questions about faith, sin, and spiritual honesty, this month pushed us to think more intentionally, and to reflect on all that the Lord is doing within our lives. We also dove into themes like emotional reverence, Gen Z’s relationship with Scripture, gentle parenting, and of course, Eustace Scrubb (iykyk)!

In the quieter moments, there were slow mornings, late-night texts that turned into brainstorming sessions, and the kind of ordinary days that somehow always leave the biggest mark.

Our hope is that this will give you the opportunity to catch up on any podcast episodes, blog posts, and/or social media posts you might have missed, as well as be a post you can share with those you know who may be interested in reading and listening to the serious Christian content we strive to create!

Without further ado, here are a few favorites from the month of May…

MAY BLOG POSTS (OLDEST TO NEWEST)

A WEEK FULL OF CELEBRATION: https://thefew.blog/2025/05/02/a-week-full-of-celebration/

Excerpt: In this special anniversary episode, we reflect on how the blog as well as A Few Minutes With The Few began, the behind-the-scenes growth we’ve experienced, and what God has taught us over the past six years of blogging and five years of podcasting. 

REMEMBER THE ONE WHO FORMED THE STONE: https://thefew.blog/2025/05/08/remember-the-one-who-formed-the-stone/

Excerpt: But what do we do when we still don’t have answers? What do we do when we still want to hear His voice, but it feels like we’re being stonewalled? These were the exact questions I was contemplating while doing a mundane task and listening to an online conference I had missed when it originally came out. 

A FEW FAVORITES FROM THE MONTH OF APRIL 2025: https://thefew.blog/2025/05/15/a-few-favorites-from-the-month-of-april-2025/

Excerpt: Happy May! I know we are half-way through the month of May now, but we had some excellent content in the month of April that I want to remind you about or maybe even bring to your attention if you missed it! 

WHEN THE MIND IS A BATTLEFIELD: https://thefew.blog/2025/05/22/when-the-mind-is-a-battlefield-2/

Excerpt: In order for us to win the mind game, we must live in the Lord’s presence. I can confidently write that every time I have been in the presence of Jesus, I have never felt overwhelmed with fear and anxiety because His perfect love casts out all of my fear (1 John 4:18).

THE UNDRAGONING OF EUSTACE SCRUBB: https://thefew.blog/2025/05/29/the-undragoning-of-eustace-scrubb/

Excerpt: At first, Eustace, who was indeed prideful, yet incredibly insecure in his human nature, was relieved to find that he had been turned into the biggest, most dangerous creature around, until he realizes that this creature he has become cuts him off from humanity. It cuts him off from the human he is supposed to become.

MAY PODCAST EPISODES (OLDEST TO NEWEST)

Digital Discipleship (A Concerning Danger We Have Recently Noticed): https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/digital-discipleship-a-concerning-danger-we-have-recently-noticed-s6ep2/

Episode Description: Should we be concerned about the spiritual state of many Christian influencers on social media today? We believe the only logical answer to that question is yes, and very much so. Our encouragement to you in this episode is that influencers don’t have to be bad, but they need to be discipled, and you need to be discipled, just not by a social media influencer. This is an eye-opening episode, and one we hope you will join us for. Let’s get into it!

We’re Not Afraid To Raise Kids In A Broken World And Here’s Why: https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/were-not-afraid-to-raise-kids-in-a-broken-world-and-heres-why-s6ep3/

Episode Description: Are you a young person who has ever contemplated raising kids in a broken, sinful, and evil world? Is the thought one that intimidates you? Join us for this week’s episode as we chat back and forth about some helpful and practical tips we have learned and often think about even prior to being married and raising a family! Our kids can be world-changers for the Kingdom if we make some hard decisions and make some very necessary changes in our lives now. Let’s get into it!

Does Truth Hurt Children Or Set Them Free? Here’s What You Need To Know About Gentle Parenting: https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/does-truth-hurt-children-or-set-them-free-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-gentle-parenting-s6ep3/

Episode Description: Why is our culture so afraid that the truth will traumatize kids? Today on the show, we are debating whether or not truth actually hurts kids, and explaining how gentle parenting is another extreme parenting model that is not Biblical, and how we’ve equated discomfort with damage. Within the home, we should make it our goal to speak the truth about sin while anchoring it in redemption, correct with compassion, and teach kids emotional regulation without letting emotions become idols. Let’s get into it!

Last month, Madie and I started a BRAND-NEW Facebook page for The Few, and we would love for you to follow the page and help us spread the word about it! This will be the page we use to update you about new blog posts and podcast episodes, as well as share life updates and what’s going on in our little corner of the world!
