This May, we're taking a thoughtful and grounded look at what it means to be a mother through a biblical lens—centering on the life and example of Mary, mother of Jesus. Often honored yet not always deeply understood, Mary's story offers a perspective on motherhood shaped by faith, uncertainty, obedience, and resilience.

Throughout this episode, we'll explore the real human moments behind her calling: receiving unexpected news, raising a child with a divine purpose, and navigating both quiet years and profound public events. Rather than idealizing motherhood, we'll examine its complexity—how trust in God can coexist with fear, how strength can look like surrender, and how purpose unfolds over time.

Alongside Mary's story, we'll connect her experiences to broader themes of mothering—drawing from Scripture to consider how faith, discipline, sacrifice, and love are lived out in everyday life. Whether you're a mother, hope to be one, or are simply interested in spiritual formation, this series invites you to reflect on what it means to nurture life with intention and faith.

Join me as we look beyond surface-level narratives and engage with a deeper, more honest conversation about motherhood, guided by one of the most significant women in the Bible.
