The Messy Table with Jenn Jewell

EP. 119 | Renee Swope [Becoming a Confident Mom]


Listen Later

Have you ever wanted to quit something good? Our guest today at The Messy Table has been there.

Renee Swope was ready to resign from motherhood—after desperately longing to become a mom. Overwhelmed by the job, deflated by insecurity, and enamored with guilt, the thought of giving up (at least for a few days) sounded like a vacation.

Renee and her husband, J.J., have raised two sons to adulthood and are still in the throes of parenting their 13-year-old daughter, who they adopted from Ethiopia. From disobedient toddlers to teenagers questioning God, she knows firsthand that raising humans isn’t easy … but it’s such a worthy calling.

“Maybe you don’t feel successful, but you’re being faithful.”  —Renee Swope

Somewhere along the journey, Renee has learned the secrets of becoming A Confident Mom—which happens to be the title of her new book. “Not confident in my ability,” she explains, “but confident in God’s ability.”

If you’re interested in gleaning some hard-earned wisdom from a mama who’s gone before you (and is still walking beside you), grab your coffee and join us at The Messy Table!
