We’ve spent a lot of time in this series looking at how gospel motherhood brings freedom—so what do we do when our freedom feels in conflict with another mom’s preferences? (Oof. Tricky, right?) In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss how we can honor moms who think differently than we do by asking questions while holding to our own convictions, being charitable, treating others the way we want to be treated, and prayerfully trusting the work of God in another mom’s life. Loving one another well often requires patience and sacrifice, but by God’s grace, we can learn to love other moms while standing unified around the most essential gospel truths.

Many of us know it from memory: “the heart is deceitful above all else” (Jer. 17:9). So in a world that shouts we should “follow our heart,” what does it look like to be in the world—acknowledging our human interests and passions—while not being of the world, pursuing these things at all costs? In this episode, Emily and Laura share a few examples and questions we can consider when evaluating our heart motivation behind decisions big and small. The application will look different for all of us, and that’s the beauty of it! God has wired each of us differently, and he knows our hearts inside and out. In the words of the psalmist, “no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Ps. 84:11). Will you trust him with it, friend?

You 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.

Take a quick look around—see anyone that has your exact life? Same, friend. And yet, how often do we feel the pressure to do things exactly the way another mom does them? As believers, we know God made us uniquely in his image… so how does this play out in our lives as moms? In this episode, Emily and Laura share how our differing seasons and life circumstances not only free us to pursue God’s design for our motherhood, but also serve as the setting for his work in our lives. 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 isn’t new: we know as moms pursuing Christ, it’s important to be in God’s Word, pray, and enjoy godly community. But… we also know it’s easier said than done. How do we find time between packing lunches and keeping everyone’s 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 God’s grace, these practices will become less of a checkbox and more of a can’t-miss as we move forward in faith.

In this episode, Emily and Laura walk through the gospel framework, providing questions and Scripture along the way for you to apply to your own motherhood. Let this news bring hope to your weary heart today, mom: the Bible really does provide the answers to your modern motherhood questions.

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 ‘little bit of everything’ mom, and so on. But it doesn’t take long in motherhood to realize that our ideal doesn’t always match our life circumstances: that’s 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. Let’s break free of the labels and find our true identity in Christ.

We’ve spent the past nine weeks talking about all of the ways we can pursue God’s design for us as women, but here’s what it really boils down to: mom, do you know how loved, how cherished, how valued you are by your Creator? Do you believe you’re 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 value—not 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?

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room when it comes to the Christian life: forgiveness. It’s 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 doesn’t stay contained; it seeps out until it permeates a lot of areas of our lives, including motherhood. That’s why Emily and Laura spend this show taking a hard look at forgiveness: what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters. In this world, we will have trouble—but our Redeemer has overcome it all. In him, we find the power and freedom to forgive as we’ve been forgiven.
*Note: We know this is a broad topic and understand we couldn’t 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, when’s 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 fun—knowing that in Christ, we’re not as fragile as we may feel. When we set our fears down and remind ourselves that God—not mom—is our family’s refuge, strength, and protector, the goodness that awaits on the other side may just take us (and our kiddos) by surprise.

In this episode, Emily and Laura go DEEP on the joy and hardship of maintaining solid friendships throughout various seasons of motherhood. From how to handle it when a friendship falters to what to consider as you’re pursuing God-glorifying relationships, this show is a can’t-miss if you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head at how to love others well despite your limited capacity. God designed us for flourishing, sanctifying friendships, so let’s be willing to think about this area of our lives intentionally and honor him as we do.

It doesn’t 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 create—even 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 don’t necessarily think of yourself as “creative.” Let us set our minds on what is true, pure, and lovely (Phil. 4:8)—and 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. Here’s 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 don’t just lay out the ‘why’ for reading good books and consuming quality media, but the ‘how’ to do it, even when mom life is crazy busy. By God’s 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 children’s book and found yourself impacted by its message… even if your kids seem unfazed? It’s 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 God’s design, and how this came to life in Laura’s latest children’s book, A World Wonder. (Side note: if you’re 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 children’s books.

Was there a moment you realized motherhood had changed you? Or did it happen steadily, gradually, until one day you realized: I’m not who I was. For many of us, we can agree that motherhood rightfully requires much of us—but as the seasons of motherhood change, how do we hold our role as ‘mom’ 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. We’re going beyond the bounds of motherhood in this series, but here’s the beauty: as we embrace God’s design for us and give our lives wholly in allegiance to him, we will find ourselves growing in motherhood, too. Whether you’re brand-new to being a mom and it feels all-consuming or you’re in a season where you have time and capacity to cultivate other interests, there’s refuge in our Maker, who sees you, loves you, and is making you new.
