But what if we've been focusing on the wrong thing? In today's episode, we're talking about what happens when motherhood becomes our identity instead of Christ. We'll discuss why God calls us to put Him first, how to ask God to reveal hidden idols in our lives, and why focusing on our relationship with Him can actually make us better moms.

Have you ever felt like you're just surviving motherhood? Maybe you're overwhelmed, exhausted, lonely, anxious, or spiritually drained.

Throughout Scripture, we see that God often uses difficult seasons to draw His people closer to Him and create revival in their hearts. In this episode, we're talking about what a "Mom Revival" really looks like, how God can use trials to strengthen our faith, and why your current struggles may actually be preparing you for a deeper relationship with Jesus. We'll explore biblical examples of revival, encouragement from God's Word, and practical ways to begin seeking renewal in your motherhood today. You don't have to stay stuck in survival mode. God is inviting you into something greater.

49. How to Break Free from Negative Thoughts as a Christian Mom

Have you ever believed something about yourself for so long that it felt completely true—even though it wasn't what God says about you? In this episode, we're talking about strongholds: the lies, beliefs, fears, and thought patterns that become deeply rooted in our minds and hearts. These strongholds often begin in childhood or through painful experiences and can quietly shape our identity, relationships, and faith for years. I'll share my own personal story of a stronghold that followed me for more than a decade and even carried into my new marriage. We'll explore what Scripture says about strongholds, how the enemy uses them, and most importantly, how God gives us the power to demolish them. Together we'll discuss: • What a stronghold actually is • How strongholds become part of our identity • Common strongholds including fear, anxiety, pride, bitterness, unforgiveness, addiction, and idolatry • What it means to take every thought captive • How renewing your mind changes your life • Why the Armor of God matters before the battle begins • My Easter Sunday breakthrough and what finally helped me break free If you've ever struggled with thoughts like "I'm not enough," "I'll never change," "This is just who I am," or other beliefs that seem impossible to overcome, this episode is for you.

48. Losing Patience Instead of Gaining? 2 Examples From the Bible That Will Blow You Away

“Patience.” It sounds beautiful… until you actually need it. In today’s episode, we’re talking about what biblical patience REALLY looks like in motherhood, marriage, hard seasons, and our walk with God. Because patience is not pretending everything is okay or never feeling frustrated. Biblical patience is continuing to trust God even when life makes no sense and His timing feels painfully slow. Today we look at two powerful examples from the Bible: * Job — who trusted God through deep suffering and confusion * Abraham — who waited years for God’s promises to come true Through their stories, we’ll talk about: * why patience is so difficult * what waiting seasons produce in us * how suffering can strengthen faith * trusting God when prayers feel unanswered * patience in motherhood and everyday life * and how God remains faithful even in delays If you’ve been feeling weary, reactive, discouraged, emotionally exhausted, or frustrated in a waiting season, this episode is for you. Friend, maybe God isn’t ignoring you… maybe He’s growing something deeper in you.
