You know that feelingâwhen your shoulders tighten or your stomach turnsâwhere something youâre doing just doesnât feel quite right. Thatâs often your personal conscience, and we know firsthand how challenging it can be to discern your conscience vs. conviction from the Holy Spirit. The encouraging news? God has given us both for our good! In this episode, Emily and Laura share some questions we can consider as we evaluate the decisions and beliefs we hold most tightly to in motherhood, as well as where we can extend grace to the moms who do it differently. With Godâs Word as our anchor, all of us moms have freedom to make different choices and still pursue a gospel motherhood.

May this reminder free you to plant your feet firmly in the life God has given you, trusting his path forward for you and your family.

For most of us, the idea of spiritual disciplines isnât new: we know as moms pursuing Christ, itâs important to be in Godâs Word, pray, and enjoy godly community. But⊠we also know itâs easier said than done. How do we find time between packing lunches and keeping everyoneâs schedules straight to pursue spiritual habits and disciplines? In this episode, Emily and Laura give us a fresh take on what it means to evaluate our individual needs as moms, and how this frees us to look at spiritual growth differently than many of us have before. By Godâs grace, these practices will become less of a checkbox and more of a canât-miss as we move forward in faith.

Think fast: when you first became a mom, what expectations did you have? Chances are that many of us planned to be a certain type of mom, intentional or not: the crunchy mom, the do-it-all mom, the âlittle bit of everythingâ mom, and so on. But it doesnât take long in motherhood to realize that our ideal doesnât always match our life circumstances: thatâs why in this episode, Emily and Laura dive into the freedom of gospel motherhood. Inspired by their new book, Gospel Mom, they share three truths we find for motherhood in Scripture and the everlasting hope they bring. Letâs break free of the labels and find our true identity in Christ.

Weâve spent the past nine weeks talking about all of the ways we can pursue Godâs design for us as women, but hereâs what it really boils down to: mom, do you know how loved, how cherished, how valued you are by your Creator? Do you believe youâre made for more than eating PB&J leftovers at the sink and skipping a shower for days on end? (Ask us how we know!) In this final episode of the Whole mini-series, Emily and Laura remind us that we have dignity and valueânot because we claim it for ourselves, but because we bear the very image of God. Even in the busyness of motherhood, we can live as women who are loved by God, redeemed in Christ, and have an important mission in his kingdom. What would it look like to honor his fullness of love for you today?

Letâs talk about the elephant in the room when it comes to the Christian life: forgiveness. Itâs hard, right?! But as we see with every command God gives us, the act of forgiveness is for our own good and flourishing. Many of us have seen how unforgiveness doesnât stay contained; it seeps out until it permeates a lot of areas of our lives, including motherhood. Thatâs why Emily and Laura spend this show taking a hard look at forgiveness: what it is, what it isnât, and why it matters. In this world, we will have troubleâbut our Redeemer has overcome it all. In him, we find the power and freedom to forgive as weâve been forgiven.
*Note: We know this is a broad topic and understand we couldnât possibly cover all of the intricacies and experiences at play for you personally. Our hope for this show is to provide you with a few thought-starters and Scripture references to understand forgiveness, but if needed we encourage you to reach out to a trusted friend, pastor, or counselor to speak into your personal situation and circumstances as you work through forgiveness in your own relationships.

Mom, whenâs the last time you had FUN? For so many good reasons, our tendency as moms can be to stay behind the scenes and keep the trains running on time. We know this is a big responsibility, and we go all-in on taking it seriously. But what if we let our hair down a bit, and experienced the joy of a motherhood rooted in Christ? In this show, Emily and Laura remind us that as whole women of God, we can experience joy, laughter, thrills, and funâknowing that in Christ, weâre not as fragile as we may feel. When we set our fears down and remind ourselves that Godânot momâis our familyâs refuge, strength, and protector, the goodness that awaits on the other side may just take us (and our kiddos) by surprise.

It doesnât take long for our heads to start spinning when we think about how creative God is: a sea of textures and colors, a sunset bursting in shades of light, a cool night sky speckled with stars⊠we could go on and on. As image-bearers, we too are wired with an ability to createâeven if it feels we lack the time, talent, or desire to do so. In this episode, Emily and Laura look at the many ways creativity can come to life in motherhood, as well as a few practical ways we can make space to create, even if you donât necessarily think of yourself as âcreative.â Let us set our minds on what is true, pure, and lovely (Phil. 4:8)âand revel in the work of our Creator with every step.

That to-do list is already overwhelming, so are we *really* about to suggest you read more books⊠on a motherhood podcast?! Yes, and no. Hereâs the thing: we serve a God who communicates to us through story in his Word. We were MADE to feel the beat of creation-fall-redemption-consummation in every narrative we become immersed in, and as we pursue quality literature and fill our minds with redemptive stories, we may just learn more about ourselves and how to love others along the way. In this episode, Emily and Laura donât just lay out the âwhyâ for reading good books and consuming quality media, but the âhowâ to do it, even when mom life is crazy busy. By Godâs grace, every good, true, and beautiful story will draw us back to him, our perfect Storyteller.

Have you ever closed the back cover of a childrenâs book and found yourself impacted by its message⊠even if your kids seem unfazed? Itâs the power of story at play, and we can learn a lot from it as we seek to teach our kids complex concepts that play out in so many little moments of life. In this special bonus episode, Emily chats with Laura on the ways we can use narrative to teach our children more about Godâs design, and how this came to life in Lauraâs latest childrenâs book, A World Wonder. (Side note: if youâre on the hunt for all kinds of book recs for your kids, this show is a must-listen!) God himself is truth, which means we have the joy of finding more of him even within the pages of seemingly simple childrenâs books.

Was there a moment you realized motherhood had changed you? Or did it happen steadily, gradually, until one day you realized: Iâm not who I was. For many of us, we can agree that motherhood rightfully requires much of usâbut as the seasons of motherhood change, how do we hold our role as âmomâ alongside the whole woman God designed us to be? In this episode, Emily and Laura kick off a new mini-series with a look at Scripture to see how we lay down our lives for Christ and flourish as whole women of God. Weâre going beyond the bounds of motherhood in this series, but hereâs the beauty: as we embrace Godâs design for us and give our lives wholly in allegiance to him, we will find ourselves growing in motherhood, too. Whether youâre brand-new to being a mom and it feels all-consuming or youâre in a season where you have time and capacity to cultivate other interests, thereâs refuge in our Maker, who sees you, loves you, and is making you new.

In it, Emily chats with writer and Bible teacher, Amy Gannett, on what Scripture says about Christâs loving sufficiency in all things.

In so many moments throughout the day, little hands and hearts demand our time and attention, but we canât meet everyoneâs needs. With the flutter of noise, we grow impatient, our fuse is cut short. But itâs not just these moments that try our long-suffering. Maybe it looks like wading through deep sorrow as you walk through suffering that wonât let up. Maybe youâre growing tired, because you expected your season of life to look different by now, but God still has you in the same place. If patience is a fruit of the Spirit dwelling in us (Gal. 5:22-23), why does it feel so hard to actually be patient? In this episode, Emily chats with her dear friend, Maryanne Challies Helms, on seeing the ways God is training us in patience through our everyday moments as moms. Be encouraged: whatever trial youâre facing today, God has planned it for your growth and his gloryâhe will not leave you to fight this battle alone.
