Come, Follow Me Moms | Simple Come Follow me for Busy Moms, Christ Centered Scripture study, Simple Scripture Study

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re studying Isaiah and talking about some of my favorite messages from General Conference!

Isaiah teaches us something every overwhelmed, exhausted, worried mama needs to hear:

You were never meant to carry everything alone.

Isaiah prophesied of Jesus Christ as “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” He didn't just come to save us from our sins—He came to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. He understands the worry, loneliness, exhaustion, heartbreak, mom guilt, and seasons when life looks completely different than we thought it would. Pasted markdown

Sometimes we pray for God to take the hard thing away, but instead He says, “I'm going to walk through it with you.”

In this episode we talk about:

And after a beautiful General Conference weekend, we're connecting Isaiah's teachings with a few messages that stood out to me about deliverance, waiting on the Lord, finding our lift in Jesus Christ, trusting God when the rain falls, and loving people through their struggles. Pasted markdown

One message kept coming back to me:

Waiting does not mean forgotten.

The gospel doesn't promise us that the rain won't fall. It teaches us where to stand when it does. And when we're sinking, Jesus Christ is our lift. Pasted markdown

Ask yourself:

What am I carrying that Jesus Christ has already offered to help me carry?

Name it. Pray about it. Give some of that weight to Him.

Because:

“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.” — Isaiah 53:4

Mama, you don't have to have everything figured out. Just keep coming to Christ. ❤️

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re studying Isaiah 40–49 and preparing our hearts and our homes for General Conference.

And moms, if there is one message I hope you take away from these chapters, it’s this:

God knows you. God has not forgotten you. God will strengthen you. God will lead you. And when what you’re carrying feels too heavy—He will carry you.

Isaiah begins with the word comfort, and these chapters are filled with reminders for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, afraid, lost, or unsure of what comes next.

We talk about:

We’ll also talk about Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s message “An High Priest of Good Things to Come” and Elder Matthew S. Holland’s “Forsake Not Your Own Mercy,” and what their messages teach us about continuing to trust Christ when answers and deliverance don’t come the way—or as quickly—as we hoped.

Moms, General Conference does not have to become another thing for us to carry.

We have done the conference boards. We’ve done crafts and activities for every talk. We’ve done all the things. And while those can be wonderful, we eventually realized that sometimes we were so busy creating the perfect conference experience that it was making conference more stressful.

So we simplified.

Our conference weekend now looks like:

Legos. Candy. Notebooks. Cinnamon rolls. No extra screens.

That’s it.

The kids choose a Lego set within a budget, we grab treats, everyone gets a notebook, we make cinnamon rolls, put away the extra screens, and listen together.

Not perfectly.

Because simple doesn't mean less spiritual. And Mom deserves the opportunity to hear the messages of conference too. Pasted markdown

Instead of worrying about creating the perfect weekend, try three things:

Before conference: Write down a question or prayer.

During conference: Record the impressions that come.

After conference: Choose one thing you feel prompted to act on.

For younger children, let them draw their questions or impressions. For older kids, encourage them to write something they're praying about and then listen throughout the weekend.

Ask Heavenly Father:

“What do You want me to know?”

Then make room to listen. Pasted markdown

Before General Conference, write one question or prayer in your notebook.

Then release the pressure to manufacture the perfect spiritual experience.

Make the cinnamon rolls. Let the kids build the Legos. Get out the candy. Open your notebook. Put the screens away.

And listen.

Because somewhere between a conference talk, a prayer, a hymn, a child asking for another Kit Kat, and Lego pieces scattered across your living room floor…

the Lord may have something He wants to tell you.

Make room to hear Him. 🤍 Pasted markdown

Scriptures: Isaiah 40–49

“A Marvellous Work and a Wonder”

What if the things that feel broken in your life aren’t actually finished?

This week in Isaiah, we see warnings about pride, worldliness, and turning away from God—but we also see an incredible message of hope, healing, and restoration through Jesus Christ.

Isaiah describes broken walls, barren ground, heavy burdens, wandering people, and things that seem beyond repair. But that isn’t where the story ends. He also describes the wilderness blooming, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, sorrow disappearing, and God’s people being restored.

In this episode, we’re talking about what all of that means for us as moms.

We’ll dive into:

One of my favorite truths from this week's study comes from Isaiah 30:18:

“And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you.”

We spend so much time talking about waiting on God, but sometimes God is waiting too. Waiting for us to turn to Him. Waiting for us to listen. Waiting for us to come home. And as mothers, sometimes loving our children means teaching, inviting, praying, testifying—and then trusting God while we wait.

Find one thing in your life that needs restoration.

Not ten things. Just one.

A relationship. A habit. Your prayers. Your scripture study. Something with one of your children. Your relationship with Christ. Or maybe something inside of you.

Ask:

“Jesus, what would restoration look like here?”

Then listen for His direction:

“This is the way, walk ye in it.” — Isaiah 30:21

And take one step.

Because this week Isaiah reminds us:

Jesus Christ is the foundation.

❤️ Broken is not the same thing as finished. Jesus Christ is still doing His marvelous work.

Scriptures: Isaiah 13–14; 22; 24–30; 35

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re diving into Isaiah 1–12 — and if you’ve ever opened Isaiah, read three verses, and thought, “I have absolutely no idea what this man is talking about,” this episode is for you. 😂

Instead of trying to understand every symbol and prophecy, we’re approaching Isaiah with one simple question:

What am I learning about Jesus Christ?

And moms… He is ALL OVER these chapters.

We’ll talk about how Jesus Christ cleans us, teaches us, calls us, qualifies us, counsels us, gives us peace, gathers us, strengthens us, rescues us, and stays with us right in the middle of our lives.

Isaiah 1:16–18 — “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

Isaiah 2:2–5 — Going to the mountain of the Lord, learning His ways, and walking in His paths.

Isaiah 6:8 — “Here am I; send me.” What does send me look like in motherhood?

Isaiah 9:6 — Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 11–12 — Discovering the character of Christ and learning to trust instead of fear.

Isaiah 12:2 — “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.”

We also talk about the idols and comparison traps we face today, worrying more about the world’s approval than God’s, feeling like we don’t belong, and learning to turn to Jesus Christ as our Counsellor and Prince of Peace when motherhood feels chaotic.

One of my favorite questions from studying this week was:

“What experience have you had where God has entered into your story?”

Because we can know all the Primary answers about Jesus — but do we know Him? Have we experienced His comfort? His direction? His peace? His rescue?

We’ll also discuss teachings from President Dallin H. Oaks, President Boyd K. Packer, President Gordon B. Hinckley, President Harold B. Lee, and a thought from C. S. Lewis.

Don’t worry about understanding every single word of Isaiah.

Open your scriptures and pray:

“Heavenly Father, what do You want me to learn about Jesus Christ?”

Then look for Him.

Look for His character.

Because Isaiah teaches us that He is in the midst of thee.

He is there in the laundry, the carpools, the hard conversations, the sleepless nights, the worries, the mistakes, and the ordinary moments of motherhood.

And when the Lord asks, “Whom shall I send?” maybe our answer can be:

“Here am I; send me.”

🤍 You are never behind. Just start where you are, open your scriptures, and come closer to Christ this week.

Come, Follow Me September 7–13, 2026 | Proverbs & Ecclesiastes

What does a wise woman build her life on?

Not perfection. Not appearances. Not money. Not what everyone else is doing. Not fear. Not even her own understanding.

She builds her life on Jesus Christ. ❤️

Mamas, I LOVED studying Proverbs this week! Honestly, Proverbs kind of sounds like a mom sometimes. 😂

“Make good choices.”

And basically… DON'T BE FOOLISH. 😂

But underneath all of that practical wisdom is a much deeper message: God is teaching us how to build a life.

And as mothers, we aren't only building our own lives—we are helping our children build theirs.

In this week's episode, we're talking about what it means to become a wise woman, trust God when we can't see the entire path, use words that bring peace into our homes, let Christ pour into us, and raise children whose foundation is Jesus Christ.

🏠 The Wise Man & the Foolish Man — Matthew 7:24–27

❤️ Let Christ Pour Into You — Proverbs 1:23

🛤️ Trust in the Lord — Proverbs 3:5–6

🙏 Hushing Our Fears

💰 Wisdom Is Better Than Gold — Proverbs 16:16

🍯 Words Matter — Proverbs 15:1 & 16:24

🕊️ Be a Peacemaker

👩‍👧‍👦 The Virtuous Woman — Proverbs 31:10–31

Virtue isn't perfection.

Virtue is spiritual strength.

Our job isn't simply to raise children who know all the Primary answers.

We're trying to raise children who know where to go when Mom isn't standing beside them.

They need their own relationship with Christ. Their own prayers. Their own experiences with revelation. Their own testimony.

Because eventually the rain comes.

We can't build their house forever.

But we can teach them where the Rock is. ❤️

Ask yourself:

What am I building on?

Choose one area where you can become a little wiser this week. Trust God instead of fear. Speak more softly. Say “I'm sorry.” Let go of something temporary. Let Christ pour into you. Teach your child something about Jesus. Praise God for something good.

The goal isn't to become the Proverbs 31 woman overnight.

It's to become a little more like Jesus today.

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Mama, keep building your motherhood, your home, your family, and your identity on Jesus Christ.

The rain may still come—but your foundation will already be there. ❤️

This week we’re wrapping up Psalms with one beautiful reminder:

Praise doesn’t require a perfect life. Praise is recognizing God in the life you’re already living.

Psalm 116 begins, “I love the Lord, because…” and this week I want us to finish that sentence for ourselves.

Why do YOU love the Lord?

Maybe because He meets you where you are. Maybe because He has carried you through something you thought you couldn’t survive. Maybe because He loves you on your best days AND your hardest ones. Maybe because He has answered prayers, strengthened you, forgiven you, or simply stayed beside you.

This week we’re talking about noticing His goodness—even in the messy, exhausting, beautiful middle of motherhood.

❤️ Don’t forget what God has already done — Psalm 103

And I LOVE the reminder that God “remembereth that we are dust.” He knows we’re human. He knows we’re tired. He knows we need patience. And just as He patiently teaches us again and again, maybe we can extend a little more of that mercy to our children—and ourselves.

🎒 Jesus Christ Is Relief

Motherhood comes with plenty of rocks: worry, finances, marriage, meals, laundry, children, work, school, fear and mom guilt.

Christ may not immediately remove every rock, but Jesus Christ is relief.

☀️ “This is the day which the Lord hath made” — Psalm 118:24

Not when the baby sleeps.

Not when the house is clean.

Not when the hard season ends.

THIS is the day.

Praise God in the life you are living right now.

🕯️ You don’t need the whole map — Psalm 119:105

God often doesn’t illuminate the next twenty years. He gives us enough light for the next faithful step.

Love them today.

Tomorrow, He’ll give you more light.

🌱 Can God use our afflictions? — Psalm 119

Discipleship isn’t simply about being good. It’s about becoming.

Our struggles can reveal what matters, expose weaknesses, deepen our dependence on Christ, and help us become more like Him.

🏠 “Except the Lord build the house…” — Psalm 127

We’re building faith. Character. Relationships. Traditions. Testimonies. Memories. Disciples.

And we were never supposed to build it without Jesus.

👶 “Children are an heritage of the Lord” — Psalm 127:3

These children were His before they were ours.

Our teenagers belong to Him just as much as our snuggly newborns do. ❤️ How would we speak, correct, listen and love differently if we tried to see our children as the Savior sees them?

❤️ “His mercy endureth forever” — Psalm 136

After mistakes—His mercy endures.

After wandering—His mercy endures.

After bad parenting moments—His mercy endures.

When a child walks away—His mercy endures.

We’ll connect this with Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s The Prodigal and the Road That Leads Home and the beautiful truth that there is always a road home to Jesus Christ.

✨ God knows YOU — Psalm 139

He knows your name.

He knows the child you’re worried about.

He knows the prayer you haven’t told anyone about.

He knows what motherhood costs you.

And I share a very personal experience from my twins’ C-section and the incredible peace I felt when I asked Heavenly Father for angels and help.

Sometimes relief isn’t escaping the hard thing.

Sometimes relief is realizing Christ is already there with you.

🎶 Where Can I Turn for Peace?

Jesus Christ.

And finally:

The Psalms contain fear, grief, sin, affliction, unanswered questions, wandering, mercy, healing and joy.

And after ALL of it, the book ends with:

PRAISE THE LORD.

Not when everything works out.

Not when your children behave.

Not when every prayer is answered the way you wanted.

If you have breath, praise Him.

Finish this sentence:

“I love the Lord because __________.”

Then ask your children the same question around the dinner table, in the car, or during family Come, Follow Me.

Because praise isn’t pretending everything is okay.

Praise is remembering who God is while you’re walking through something that isn’t.

He knows you.

Well mamas… I HAD THE BABIES! 🩷💙

This week's episode is a day late because what started as contractions on Sunday afternoon turned into a trip to the hospital—and we came home with TWO babies in our arms!

And honestly, I couldn't think of a more fitting scripture for this season:

“When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” — Psalm 61:2

Motherhood can be overwhelming. We worry about our babies, our teenagers, our marriages, finances, health, our mistakes, and whether we're doing enough.

But maybe faith isn't about becoming so strong that we're never overwhelmed.

Maybe it's about becoming so familiar with Christ that when we are overwhelmed, we know exactly where to go.

In this week's Come, Follow Me Moms episode, we're digging into some of the most powerful Psalms for motherhood.

We talk about:

❤️ What to do when your heart is overwhelmed

🙏 Why we can pour out our whole heart to God

❤️‍🩹 Why struggling doesn't mean you're failing spiritually

✨ Mom guilt, repentance, and beginning again

🩷 Teaching our children repentance by letting them watch us apologize and change

❤️ Elder Peter F. Meurs's powerful message “He Could Heal Me!”

✨ President Russell M. Nelson's teachings on repentance and becoming better through Christ

🙏 What to do when God feels far away

🧠 Why remembering what God has done before can strengthen our faith now

👩‍👧‍👦 Why moms are the rememberers in our homes

📖 Teaching our children God's stories AND telling them our own stories of faith

❤️ “I will declare what He hath done for my soul”

Psalm 51:10, 12 — “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”

Psalm 61:2–3 — “When my heart is overwhelmed…”

Psalm 62:8 — “Pour out your heart before him.”

Psalm 66:16 — “I will declare what he hath done for my soul.”

Psalm 69:1–3 — Turning to God when we feel like we're drowning.

Psalm 77:11 — “I will remember the works of the Lord.”

Psalm 78:4–7 — Teaching the next generation so they will “set their hope in God.”

Psalm 86:5 — The Lord is “good, and ready to forgive.”

President Russell M. Nelson — “We Can Do Better and Be Better”

Elder Peter F. Meurs — “He Could Heal Me!”

Ask yourself:

What has God done for my soul?

Think of ONE story—an answered prayer, a miracle, a prompting, a time He carried you, forgave you, or gave you strength.

Then tell your children.

It doesn't have to be a formal Come, Follow Me lesson. Tell them at dinner, in the car, or while you're putting them to bed:

“Did I ever tell you about the time Heavenly Father helped me when…?”

Because maybe motherhood isn't about raising children who never struggle.

Maybe we're raising children who know where to turn when they do.

When their hearts are overwhelmed — go to the Rock.

When they mess up — go to Christ.

When God feels far away — remember.

And when they see His hand —

declare what He hath done for their souls. ❤️

Come, Follow Me August 17–23, 2026 | Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; 46 | Come Follow Me Scripture Study | LDS Scripture Study | Bible Study for Moms

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we are studying the beautiful book of Psalms—and this one is all about learning to bring our whole heart to God.

The Psalms give words to so many parts of our lives: praise, fear, heartbreak, repentance, gratitude, questions, joy, and trust. They remind us that we can love God and still have questions. We can have faith and still cry. We can walk through hard things and still trust that the Shepherd is walking beside us.

In this episode, we're talking about:

“The Lord is my shepherd” and what it really means to trust God when we don't know where the road is leading.

Why we don't need the whole map when we know the Shepherd.

Psalm 8 and the incredible truth that the God who created the heavens is still mindful of YOU.

Psalm 19:1 and noticing God's goodness and creation all around us.

Why “How Great Thou Art” connects so beautifully with this week's study.

Looking backward and recognizing God's timing line upon line.

Comparison and remembering that there is room in God's house for all of us.

Bringing our broken hearts to God instead of trying to carry everything ourselves.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.” What does stillness look like in the middle of busy motherhood?

Psalm 24:3–4 — clean hands and a pure heart.

Elder David A. Bednar's message “Clean Hands and a Pure Heart” and how Jesus Christ doesn't just change our behavior—He changes our hearts.

The beautiful example of Elder Bednar's mother making scripture come alive for him as a child—and why our efforts to teach our children about Jesus matter, even when we aren't sure they're listening.

Brother Bradley R. Wilcox's message “Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness.”

Why God's love for us and His desire for us to change can exist at the same time.

Repentance as a lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus Christ.

The sacrament as a spiritual “gas station” where we can repent, renew our covenants, refill, and keep going.

One of my favorite reminders from this week's study is:

The goal isn't to never stumble. The goal is to keep following the Shepherd.

Sometimes we follow beautifully. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes confidently. Sometimes crying. And sometimes we wander and need Him to come find us.

But we keep coming back.

Choose one Psalm that speaks to where you are right now and put it somewhere you'll see it this week.

Maybe:

“The Lord is my shepherd.” — Psalm 23:1

“The Lord is my light.” — Psalm 27:1

“Joy cometh in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Then choose a hymn connected to Psalms and play it in your home. Tell your children why you love it and what it teaches you about Jesus Christ.

Let's make the scriptures come alive for our children.

Because someday they may remember:

My mom taught me that.

David A. Bednar — “Clean Hands and a Pure Heart”

Bradley R. Wilcox — “Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness”

Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; 46

You don't need the whole map when you know the Shepherd.

Trust Him. Follow Him. And when you stumble?

Repent. Refill. And keep going.

He knows the way home. ❤️

Come, Follow Me August 10–16, 2026 | Job | Come Follow Me Scripture Study | LDS Scripture Study | Bible Study for Moms

Why do bad things happen to good people? Where is God when life falls apart? And can we still trust Him when we don't understand what He is doing?

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we're diving into the story of Job—and this one is for anyone who has ever found themselves asking God, “Why?”

Job was a righteous man who loved God, and yet he experienced unimaginable loss. He lost his wealth, his health, and most devastatingly, his children. His friends misunderstood him. He questioned. He grieved. He wondered where God was.

And yet, in the middle of his suffering—not after everything was fixed—Job declared:

“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” — Job 13:15

And:

“I know that my redeemer liveth.” — Job 19:25

That is what we're talking about this week.

We'll dig into what Job's story teaches us about trusting God when life doesn't make sense, asking God the hard questions, sitting with people in their grief instead of trying to explain it, and recognizing that suffering does not mean God has abandoned us.

We'll also talk about Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin's message “Come What May, and Love It” and what it means to keep choosing God through the unexpected, painful, and difficult parts of mortality.

One of my biggest takeaways this week is this:

You don't have to know WHY when you know WHO.

You may not understand this chapter of your life. You may still be waiting for an answer. You may be living through something you never would have chosen.

But you can still know your Redeemer.

You can still bring God your questions.

You can still say, “Heavenly Father, I am trying.”

And you can trust that your suffering does not get the final word.

Because of Jesus Christ, God does.

🩷 Question to ponder this week:

And then ask yourself:

Where might He be in the story you're living right now—even if you can't see Him yet?

Job 1:21

Come what may. Keep trusting. Keep turning toward Christ. Your Redeemer lives. 🩷

Come, Follow Me Moms is a weekly Come, Follow Me podcast where we take the meat and potatoes from the lesson and apply it to motherhood, family life, and the real things we're walking through every day.

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we're studying one of my favorite women in all of scripture—Esther.

Esther's story is so much more than a story about courage. It's a story about God's divine design, His perfect timing, and His hand working behind the scenes even when we can't see Him.

Have you ever wondered:

If you've ever asked those questions, this episode is for you.

Together we'll walk through Esther's story—from an orphan girl becoming queen, to Mordecai's faith, Haman's pride, and the incredible moments that remind us that there are no accidents with God.

One of the most amazing things about the book of Esther is that God's name is never mentioned—not once. Yet His fingerprints are on every page.

Maybe that's true in our lives too.

Sometimes we're looking for lightning bolts, while God is quietly working through:

✨ a prompting

We'll also talk about:

• Why Esther's courage came after fasting and prayer—not before.

I also share a sweet Family Home Evening experience our family had this week that reminded me how often God—and the people around us—see gifts in us that we don't always recognize in ourselves.

If you've been wondering whether God sees you in the middle of motherhood, exhaustion, waiting, or uncertainty, I hope this episode reminds you that He does.

He has always been in the details.

Scriptures studied:

General Conference Reference:

If this episode encouraged you, would you take a minute to leave a review and share it with another mom? It helps more women find the podcast and reminds them they are never alone in their scripture study.

Thank you for being here each week. I truly love studying the scriptures with you.

Remember, God is in the details. He has been preparing you longer than you realize, and the courage He asks of you today may become the answer to someone else's prayer tomorrow.

With love,

Cassie Moore
