Christ Meets You in the Chaos

These scriptures speak straight to:

Identity

Worth

Perspective

And how close God really is

If motherhood has felt chaotic, ordinary, or heavy lately this episode is for you.

Moses 1:10

Moses 1:39

Abraham 3:22–23

Abraham 3:27

The Big Takeaway This Week

Christ meets you in your chaos.

Not when life is quiet.

Not when you’ve “caught up.”

Right where you are.

Moses 1:  Identity Before Assignment

Moses 1 comes from Joseph Smith’s inspired translation of the Bible and records a powerful vision given to Moses before he returns to Egypt to lead Israel.

Before Moses does anything big…

God reminds him who he is.

“And he saw God face to face, and he talked with him…” (Moses 1:2)

Moses is transfigured so he can endure God’s presence teaching us that God strengthens those He calls.

“Behold, thou art my son…” (Moses 1:4)

Why This Matters to Moms

Before God asks anything of Moses, He reminds him of his identity.

And God wants you to know who you are too.

You are a daughter of God before the to-do list, before the chaos, before the calling.

“Man Is Nothing”  What Moses Is Really Learning

“Now, for this cause I know that man is nothing…” (Moses 1:10)

This isn’t about worthlessness.

It’s about dependence on God.

As moms, we often feel pressure to do everything alone. Moses teaches us:

Weakness doesn’t disqualify you

It qualifies you to rely on God

God makes weak things strong.

Moses vs. Satan  You Have More Power Than You Think

In Moses 1:13–16, Moses confronts Satan and refuses to be deceived.

“For behold, I am a son of God…”

Moses recognizes truth because he knows who he is.

When Moses calls on God for help, he is strengthened and Satan is commanded to depart.

Motherhood Application

That power wasn’t just for Moses.

You can call on heaven.

You can pray out loud.

You can ask for strength.

You can tell Satan, “Get thee hence.”

God is bigger than your fears.

Bigger than your doubts.

Bigger than the chaos.

Moses 1:39  -  Motherhood Is God’s Work

“For behold, this is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”

God’s work is people.

Which means your work as a mom:

Folding laundry

Teaching kids

Wiping tears

Showing up on hard days

Is holy work.

You are not distracted from God’s work.

You are doing God’s work.

Abraham 3 : Your Children Are Not Random

In Abraham 3, we learn about:

Pre-earth life

The eternal nature of spirits

God’s divine plan

“And God saw these souls that they were good…” (Abraham 3:22–23)

Your children were known, loved, and seen by God before they came to you.

You were chosen to be their mom not because you’re perfect, but because you are who they need.

“Here Am I, Send Me” A Mother’s Prayer

“Here am I, send me.” (Abraham 3:27)

Motherhood often feels like sacrifice  and that’s okay.

A powerful mindset shift for this season: “Here am I, God with what I have, where I am.”

Meet me in the mess.

Meet me in the chaos.

Meet me here.

Teaching This Week as a Family (Simple Ideas)

Read one verse out loud together

Watch a short identity-focused video

Act out Moses meeting God and standing up to Satan

Let kids repeat the scripture after you

End with a fun family treat (Muddy Buddies are a favorite!)

Keep it simple. Keep it joyful.

Invitation for the Week

As you go about your real, busy, imperfect days, gently ask yourself:

What is God trying to remind me about who I am?

And where might He be inviting me to say, “Here am I”?

You don’t have to do Come, Follow Me perfectly for it to matter.

Every small effort counts.

Christ is with you  right in the middle of your life.

Until next time 

Christ is with you in the chaos. 🤍

This is very important. As we study the Old Testament this year. Really reflect on this. 

President Nelson has over and over again reminded us to know who we truly are. Because when you really understand who you are. Everything changes “ If the LOrd were speaking to you directly the first thing He would make sure you understand is your true identity.  My dear friends, you are literally the spirit children of God… Is that eternal truth imprinted upon your heart? Has this truth rescued you when confronted with temptation? President Russel M. Nelson. Worldwide devotional for young adults May 4, 2022

Episode 1: Introduction to the Old Testament

Come, Follow Me | December 29 – January 4

If you’ve ever opened the Old Testament and thought,

“This feels overwhelming… where do I even start?”

this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re kicking off a brand-new Come, Follow Me year with the Introduction to the Old Testament , and we’re doing it in a way that feels simple, peaceful, and doable for real mom life.

The Old Testament isn’t about perfection.

It’s about God staying with imperfect people and that includes us.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why the Old Testament matters for moms today

How these ancient stories were written for our day

What God wants busy, tired, faithful moms to know as they begin this year

How to approach Come, Follow Me without guilt, pressure, or overwhelm

Simple ways to invite Christ into your scripture study  even if you only have a few minutes

We’ll read and reflect on a powerful scripture that reminds us that the scriptures were written for our learning, comfort, and hope, and we’ll talk about how God meets us exactly where we are — not where we think we should be.

You don’t need to be caught up.

You don’t need to do this perfectly.

You don’t need hours of quiet time.

You just need a willing heart.

✨ Invitation for the week:

Where might God be inviting you to let Him into your life and your story right now, as it is?

✨ Question to ponder:

What might Jesus want to show you as you begin this Come, Follow Me year?

Pop this episode on while you’re driving, folding laundry, making dinner, or taking a quiet moment for yourself and let’s walk with Christ together.
