Christian Motherhood Unfiltered with Emma Grace Joens

This wasn’t the episode I had planned for this week, but it’s been so heavy on my heart that I knew I had to share.

As moms, we’re surrounded by tragedy and fear every time we open our phones. It’s easy to feel paralyzed by anxiety, wondering how we can raise children in such a scary world. In this episode, I’m sharing my own struggles, what has helped me cope, and how I choose faith over fear as I parent my little ones.

We can’t control the world our kids are growing up in, but we can give them hope, peace, and the foundation of knowing Jesus.

Being a stay-at-home mom really is a full-time job… but sometimes it helps to actually treat it like one. In this episode, I’m sharing 10 ways I structure my SAHM life like a full-time job—from taking a “lunch break,” to planning dinners, to setting boundaries that help me stay sane.

If you’ve ever felt like your days blur together or you’re just “winging it” at home, these simple rhythms and habits will help you find more peace, purpose, and productivity in your motherhood.

Whether you’re new to Christianity, curious about what I believe, or just needing a “big sister” to talk through faith with, this episode is for you. I’m sharing what I believe, how I teach my kids about God, how I structure my quiet time, and how I trust Him with big decisions. Faith isn’t about checking boxes or having it all together—it’s about walking with Jesus daily. My hope is that this conversation encourages you and reminds you that you don’t have to do it perfectly to have a real, growing relationship with God.

In this episode, I’m sharing some things I personally don’t subscribe to as a Christian mom—not to bash anyone, but to remind you that motherhood doesn’t have one aesthetic. 

Lately I've been feeling all the comparison lately, but the Lord has really been showing me the beauty in how he makes us all different. There’s no one-size-fits-all in faith and motherhood, and it’s okay to find your own rhythm.

Going from 1 to 2 kids is a major transition—emotionally, mentally, and logistically. In this episode, I’m sharing what I wish I knew before having baby #2, how life changed with two kids, and what helped me adjust now that I'm almost a year & a half in.
