Descripción

In today's episode, Courtney sits down with author, speaker, and life coach Amy Loflin for a deeply honest and powerful conversation about fear, grief, and the way past pain can quietly shape how we love. Amy shares a pivotal moment from her motherhood journey—a brief but life-altering experience on the beach when she couldn't find her young son. While everything turned out fine, what surfaced in her heart revealed something deeper: she had been living in a state of anticipated grief—expecting loss before it ever came. Together, Courtney and Amy unpack how unresolved grief, fear, and trauma can cause us to hold our loved ones at arm's length… even when we don't realize it. But this conversation doesn't stay in the struggle. Amy shares how God gently revealed these patterns, led her into healing, and invited her into a life of deeper connection—one where fear no longer calls the shots. If you've ever felt like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop… If fear has kept you from being fully present… Or if you've experienced loss that still lingers… This episode will meet you right where you are—and point you back to freedom in Christ. What We Talk About * What anticipated grief is and how it shows up in motherhood * How past loss can quietly affect how we love our families * The subtle ways fear steals connection * Letting go of control and perfectionism * Healing your identity and rooting it in Christ * Parenting without placing your children (or others) on a pedestal * The power of being fully present and "all in" with your family * Amy's book A Story Worth Living and the story of the bleeding woman * The invitation to step out of hiding and into healing Scripture Highlight "When she knew she could no longer stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of Him." — Luke 8:47 (NLT) Connect with Amy * Instagram: @aoloflin [https://www.instagram.com/aoloflin/] * Facebook: Amy Otwell Loflin * Ministry: Echo Joy Collective [https://www.echojoycollective.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnSMrDRuklUtEGq5VJCIsI_NYvZxO4UV8oBfz-IS1ledIhS4a1fQ4QOt3tSZg_aem_6WabW6mAi8hlFrwGVAgiqQ] * Website: https://www.echojoycollective.com [https://www.echojoycollective.com] * Book: A Story Worth Living: Reclaim Your Confidence, Purpose, and Peace [https://amzn.to/4mVHb06] Connect with Courtney Instagram: @courtneydoyle_8 [https://www.instagram.com/courtneydoyle_8/] Website: www.courtneydoyleministries.com [http://www.courtneydoyleministries.com] Join the MOM 101 Facebook Group: Click here [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1346052689873597]

220~Don't Quit Mid Miracle!

Have you ever felt like giving up on a prayer you've been praying for years? In this solo episode, Courtney reflects on one unforgettable question from last week's conversation with Lyndsay Roberts: "What if you quit mid-miracle?" Whether you're waiting for healing, restoration, a prodigal child, or simply praying for peace, this episode is a reminder that God's silence doesn't mean He's stopped working. Together we'll talk about fear, change, forgiveness, surrender, and how to keep trusting God even when you can't yet see the miracle. In This Episode: * Why waiting can make us lose hope * How fear steals today's peace * The freedom that comes through forgiveness * Learning to trust God's timing instead of controlling the outcome * Why you shouldn't quit before God is finished Connect with Courtney 🌐 CourtneyDoyleMinistries.com [https://www.courtneydoyleministries.com] 📱 Instagram: @CourtneyDoyleMinistries [https://www.instagram.com/courtneydoyle_8/] 📘 Facebook: Courtney Doyle Ministries [https://www.facebook.com/courtneydoyleministries] 💌 Join Courtney's email community [https://link.equipt360.com/widget/form/HYpdBfnwb8a9PFICC8TI] for weekly encouragement and podcast updates.

219~Discovering True Peace in a Restless World with Lindsay Roberts

What if peace isn't something you find once life finally settles down? In this encouraging episode of The MOM Show, Courtney sits down with author, speaker, and ministry leader Lindsay Roberts to discuss finding God's peace in the middle of life's greatest heartbreaks and uncertainties. Lindsay vulnerably shares her journey through infertility, multiple miscarriages, the heartbreaking loss of her full-term son, and the life-changing lesson that has sustained her faith through every season: don't quit mid-miracle. Together, Courtney and Lindsay explore what it means to trust God when life doesn't unfold the way we hoped, how unforgiveness quietly steals our peace, and why true peace is found only by anchoring ourselves in God's Word—not in our circumstances. If you're carrying grief, wrestling with anxiety, navigating disappointment, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, this conversation will remind you that God's peace is available, even in the middle of chaos. In This Episode You'll Hear: * Lindsay's powerful testimony of miscarriage, infant loss, and God's faithfulness. * What it means to "not quit mid-miracle." * The difference between temporary peace and true biblical peace. * The biggest "peace stealers" moms face today. * Why forgiveness is essential to experiencing freedom. * Practical ways to cultivate peace before the chaos of the day begins. * How to prioritize what matters most in every season of motherhood. * Encouragement for moms walking through grief, waiting, and unanswered prayers.

218~Why You Still Don't Feel Peace

Episode Summary Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll have peace when..."? When the kids are older. When summer is over. When life slows down. When the house is clean. When this difficult season finally passes. The truth is, if we're always waiting for life to settle down before we experience peace, we'll spend our lives waiting. In this solo episode, Courtney shares why true peace isn't found in the absence of chaos—it's found in the presence of Christ. Building on last week's conversation with Erin Greneaux, this episode is an invitation to stop postponing peace and begin recognizing that God is already meeting you in the middle of your ordinary, everyday motherhood. In This Episode, We Talk About: * Why we often believe peace is waiting on the other side of our circumstances * The lie behind the phrase, "I'll have peace when..." * How busyness and constant distractions keep us from noticing God's presence * Why Jesus never promised a trouble-free life—but He did promise His presence * Practical ways to create margin and meet with God in the middle of a busy season * Learning to stop waiting for life to calm down and start experiencing God's peace today Truths to Remember: * Peace isn't the absence of chaos—it's the presence of Christ. * There will always be another busy season, another challenge, and another "after." * God is already present in your ordinary moments—you simply have to slow down enough to notice Him. * You don't have to wait until everything changes before you experience the peace Jesus offers today.

217~Sunday God Meets Monday Mom with Erin Greneaux

In this heartfelt conversation, Courtney sits down with author and mom of three, Erin Grineaux, to talk about what it really looks like to meet God in the middle of motherhood—not apart from it. Erin shares honestly about the overwhelming early years of raising three young daughters, the exhaustion, the chaos, and the quiet struggle of feeling disconnected from God in the middle of it all. But it was in those very moments—late-night feedings, everyday frustrations, and ordinary routines—that God began to gently reveal Himself in a new way. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don't have to step away from motherhood to experience God… He is already present within it. What You'll Hear in This Episode: * Why motherhood can feel spiritually disconnecting—and how to shift that perspective * How to recognize God in the small, ordinary moments of your day * The importance of quiet time (even if it's just a minute) * Letting go of pressure and perfection in motherhood * How your faith naturally shapes your children more than you think * The danger of comparison culture and redefining what matters most in your home * Encouragement for the mom who feels distant from God right now * Holding both joy and grief in hard seasons—and trusting God in the unknown Resources & Links from This Episode * Website: https://www.greneauxgardens.com [https://www.greneauxgardens.com] * Book: Sunday God Meets Monday Mom: https://amzn.to/4bcrjSz [https://amzn.to/4bcrjSz] * Weekly Devotions: https://eringreneaux.substack.com/ [https://eringreneaux.substack.com/] * Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sundaygodmeetsmondaymom [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sundaygodmeetsmondaymom] * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greneauxgardens [https://www.facebook.com/greneauxgardens] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eringreneaux [https://www.instagram.com/eringreneaux] * Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/author/eringreneaux [https://www.amazon.com/author/eringreneaux] * The Bible App Devotions: https://www.bible.com/organizations/1f694f0c-8459-4d43-8f48-7eec96a64c3c [https://www.bible.com/organizations/1f694f0c-8459-4d43-8f48-7eec96a64c3c] Connect with Courtney: Instagram: @courtneydoyle_8 [https://www.instagram.com/courtneydoyle_8/] Website: www.courtneydoyleministries.com [http://www.courtneydoyleministries.com] Join the MOM 101 Facebook Group: Click here [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1346052689873597]

216~God Still Writes Redemption Stories with Courtney

After hearing a powerful story of redemption, it's easy to feel inspired… but also quietly wonder— "Why doesn't my story look like that?" In this follow-up episode, Courtney speaks directly to the mom who is still in the middle of the mess—the one whose situation feels unresolved, unanswered, or still broken. Because here's the truth: Redemption doesn't always look like restoration in the way we expect. Sometimes God restores the relationship… and sometimes He begins by restoring you within it. If you've been waiting for things to change and they haven't—this episode will remind you that God is still working, even when you can't see it. Your story is not finished. In This Episode, We Talk About: * Why hearing others' redemption stories can sometimes feel discouraging * The difference between restoration and redemption * Letting go of expectations for how God "should" fix things * A personal story of holding onto an ending that didn't unfold as expected * How God often begins His work by transforming us from the inside out * Finding peace even when your circumstances haven't changed * What it looks like to trust God in the middle of an unfinished story A Few Truths to Hold Onto: * Redemption doesn't always mean everything gets fixed the way you hoped * Sometimes God changes you before He changes the situation * Peace is not found in outcomes—it's found in who God is * Just because you can't see it doesn't mean God isn't working * The place that feels the most broken may be where God is doing His deepest work.
