Gospel Mom 05: On How Your Life Experiences Shape Your Motherhood + Other Things (GM - C8)
Nov 6, 202400:29:10Tap to summarizeYou know that feeling—when your shoulders tighten or your stomach turns—where something you’re doing just doesn’t feel quite right. That’s 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 God’s Word as our anchor, all of us moms have freedom to make different choices and still pursue a gospel motherhood. This episode is brought to you by our generous donors.

In this final show of the Abundance mini-series, Emily and Laura take to the mic to discuss limitations they've felt in their own lives, and practical questions to help us draw near to Christ in the everyday strains of weakness in motherhood.

WWSTA 10: Technology
Nov 16, 2022Tap to summarizeScreens are everywhere—from ordering groceries, responding to an email from school, managing our calendars, and more, it's no surprise that our kids are interested in screens and technology. As faithful stewards of our children's hearts and minds, what does it mean to navigate screen time, devices, content, and media engagement in today's culture? In this episode, Emily and Laura revisit the topic of technology through the lens of discipling our children as they grow in curiosity and independence. While the Bible doesn't directly address tablets and smartphones, we can trust that as we seek the Lord in wisdom, he will give us wisdom to disciple our children well in a digital age.

Prayer 02: Why Do We Say “Amen?” And Other Questions About Prayer
Aug 25, 2021Tap to summarizeWhen it comes to prayer, kids have all the questions. Why do we say “amen?” Do I need to close my eyes? But moms have lots of questions about prayer too. Do I pray to God or can I pray to Jesus? How do I teach my kids reverence in prayer? In today’s episode, Laura and Emily tackle some frequently asked questions with biblical answers and personal application. As we disciple our kids according to their own questions and needs, we can be moms who point our kids to Christ and train them in prayer. ____ This mini-series is brought to you in part by Crossway, publisher of the Flourish Bible Studies series by Lydia Brownback.

Transcribe →Practice Makes Progress | Ep. 180
Dec 16, 2020Tap to summarizeAs moms, we all fall short of the glory of God day after day. So we need to preach the gospel to ourselves again and again. But how do we actually do that? In this episode, Emily and Laura share how reminding yourself of the gospel is an important part of the Christian walk—but it requires some practice. To preach the gospel, we have to know the gospel. It's the only thing that keeps us from being defined by the time we yelled in the car or hid in the pantry stress-eating dark chocolate. Momma, your true identity is secure in Christ—offering peace, hope, and joy in every moment. We're grateful to Christian Planner for helping make this week's show possible!

Transcribe →Gray Areas: Personal Conscience in Motherhood | Ep. 118
Jan 30, 2019Tap to summarizeIt's our first episode of 2019, and we're talking about the little voice in your head. The one that pipes up when you feel guilt over letting your kids eat too many cookies or sets off an alarm bell when you watch something questionable. All of us have one, but it's not the Holy Spirit. What is it exactly? In this episode, Emily and Laura start the conversation on personal conscience. God gave each of us a conscience to help discern what's right and wrong in the everyday "gray" areas of life. While it can be dulled by sin, God recalibrates our consciences through the study of his word and fellowship with believers, so we can do all things in faith with love.
