How to Pray Prayers That Move God's Heart

Have you ever wondered if God actually hears your prayers? In this episode, I'm sharing what changed my perspective on prayer completely from being the girl too embarrassed to pray out loud, to praying boldly in front of my church for our nation's 250th birthday. We're diving into Exodus 32 and 33, where Moses does something wild: he pleads with God, reminds Him of His promises, and Scripture says God changed His mind. If Moses could pray a prayer that moved the heart of God, so can we. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why God isn't offended when we remind Him of His promises * How to pray Scripture back to God with confidence * What it means to seek God's presence, not just His provision * A simple blueprint for bold, faith-filled prayer If you've ever felt like prayer is just words into the void, this episode is for you. Let's learn to pray prayers that move the heart of God. 🎧 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoIv3LjFw04 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoIv3LjFw04] 📖 Grab a copy of Unshakable Kids: https://amzn.to/4dWKP75 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVlzMWRmWF9NVUZxVzVBRWgxUVM3QXNWdEZ4UXxBQ3Jtc0tuaXNucXRjcTRlck54dEg1NWtFbHhvYzdaUG1Ca21seThQdWZ0OVZFUV80OFhyTUR6M1hyektWZk9xTzRRMGpObHM0Rkh3ZGNFSWNxOEhZaG53eUNTZnphMm0ycUhHR2M0T0s5S0dPbFNZSURIUVRvUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F4dWKP75&v=SoIv3LjFw04] 📲 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspired.mo...

Do kids ruin your life!?

Do kids actually ruin your life? That's what our culture wants you to believe. In this episode, we're looking at what the world says about motherhood and children and what the Bible says instead. From feeling like "just a stay-at-home mom" to the cultural pressure to put career and freedom above family, we're unpacking the lies we've been handed and replacing them with truth. In this episode: * Why your value as a mom has nothing to do with what you do * What Jesus actually said about children (and it's convicting) * What the research says about the best outcomes for kids * Practical help for when motherhood feels like too much 📖 Scriptures referenced: Genesis 1:27, Psalm 127:3, Proverbs 17:6, Mark 10:13-16 🎙️ Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EshozAwGKzg [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EshozAwGKzg] 📖 Grab Unshakable Kids: https://amzn.to/4dWKP75 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblllc0VIeVViSnFtSW9RUC10dEIzUnpsbUFQQXxBQ3Jtc0trWUZCa25vejNXdzk4SDZzVVV5Z3QtQ3ZMWnk1N2VrN1k5MlM1Zk1JaEEzeEM3MU04N2lHRHZ5cmx0a2swWUFoaG5kVnQ2RUhlVVVCVlZ2aF9YbUxqVTI1QmQzOUJEcjBXUVJFZmJJeUE3MUtacVF1QQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F4dWKP75&v=EshozAwGKzg] 📲 Follow on Instagram:   / inspired.motherhood   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkdEUXFsWU9jWE9ZYjdHVFNlTWRjbVBUVHJqZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuVkdjVW5ibW81UDZBaU5jcmpOcmlTZ0o5eFB1aklWUFVPSTZYQm5rLTVHenZtZ0pJT2dxRlRid1FGdWJjcXJBSE9KTHNtcVhJekszVkZpcWMtZktmNndrOV95M2F3OFF4SGNLUld6VGtsVTdiVlRBZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Finspired.motherhood%2F&v=EshozAwGKzg]

God put you in this generation for such a time as this, and I want you to leave this episode actually believing that.   📖 Free Prayer Guide — grab it here: https://inspired-motherhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/9-Prayers-for-Unshakable-Kids-FINAL.pdf [https://inspired-motherhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/9-Prayers-for-Unshakable-Kids-FINAL.pdf]   🎤 Mom's Conference in Souderton, PA this September.

How to Build a Home Your Kids Run Toward (Not Away From)

What if your kids grow up and just... don't need you anymore? What if holidays become obligatory someday — the kind where everyone checks their phone and counts down to leaving? What if something you're doing right now is slowly pushing them away, and you don't even know it? Friend, those feelings are real. And this episode is for you. I brought my mom on the podcast for the very first time, and we're getting into the actual habits and rhythms that keep families close for generations. The small daily things that wire security into your kids, what quietly pushes adult children away, and how to build a home people genuinely want to come back to. This isn't about doing it perfectly. It's about knowing which things actually matter. Know a mom who needs to hear this? Send it to her.
