We throw the word "love" around...but do we really understand it?
Do we TRULY understand the kind of love God has called us to?
I know I don't.
I like to think it's this flowery, Hollywood / hallmark thing...but it's not!
We're going to take a look at one of the most famous passages about love - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.  We're going to talk about the 8 things love does NOT do!
Ready?
Grab your coffee and let's get started!
xx, Michelle

289 // 8 Things Love Does NOT Do, For The Christian Wife and Mom

Christian Motherhood: The Real Conversation with Elyse and Michelle is the podcast for Christian moms who are tired of pretending everything’s perfect. Motherhood is beautiful — but it’s also messy, exhausting, and often nothing like we imagined. Here, we pull up a chair and have the honest conversations that don’t always happen in church.
From mom guilt, comparison, and the invisible mental load to marriage struggles, intimacy after kids, raising children in faith, and finding God in the chaos — we talk about it all. With laughter, tears, and biblical truth, Elyse (a Christian mum of three in her 30s in Australia) and Michelle (a Christian mum in her 50s in the U.S.) bring two unique seasons of motherhood and life experience to the table.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I the only Christian mom who feels this way?” — you’re not. This is the safe space for unfiltered stories, unapologetic faith, and real motherhood. Grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and join the conversation.
✨ New episodes release every Wednesday in the U.S. and Thursday in Australia.
