337 \\ The Sacred and Stretchy Calling of Motherhood (Especially in Summer)


Listen Later

Hey Sisters!

In today's raw and real podcast episode, we're diving deep into the true essence of motherhood - not the perfectly curated Instagram version, but the messy, beautiful, challenging reality of raising children while maintaining your faith and sanity.

This summer has been intense for me personally. Between recovering from surgery, moving to a new town, and managing multiple kid appointments, I've been feeling the weight of motherhood more than ever. But here's the truth: you're not alone, and you're definitely not failing.

I want to remind you that motherhood is a spiritual calling, not just a daily task. Scripture tells us children are a heritage from the Lord, and every moment - even the chaotic ones - matters. We explored the powerful stories of Lois and Eunice, Timothy's grandmother and mother, who shaped a key church leader through their quiet, consistent faith.

Key takeaways:

  • Motherhood isn't about perfection, but about consistently showing up

  • Your faith matters more than your Instagram-worthy moments

  • God sees you and is strengthening you, even when you feel exhausted

    I shared some personal strategies for maintaining spiritual health: inviting God into every moment, being honest with my kids about my limitations, and creating space for myself. I'm also doing a 30-day social media detox to help me stay focused and present.

    Journal prompts to help you reflect:

    • How do you see motherhood as a spiritual calling?

    • What does parenting with eternity in mind look like for you?

    • How is your faith showing up in daily mom life?

      Remember, you are doing important Kingdom work. Those seeds you're planting? They matter more than you know.

      Praying for you always,

      Michelle
