Raising Godly Girls

Ep. 239 — Biblical Truths for Overwhelmed Moms


Listen Later

You're doing all the things—but you're worn thin. And beneath the smiles, the sports pickups, the dinner prep, and the late-night laundry, you wonder: Am I the only one who feels like I can't keep up?

In this honest and hope-filled episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden speak directly to the weary heart of the overwhelmed Christian mom. Together, they unpack the invisible load modern mothers carry—and the dangerous lie that asking for help is a form of spiritual failure.

But the Bible tells a different story. From Moses to the early Church, God's Word is rich with examples of leaders who were never meant to go it alone. Through personal stories—including Rachael's life-changing health scare and Melissa's practical advice on why you should always say yes to a Meal Train—this episode offers permission to release the pressure and embrace God's provision through community.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why asking for help is not weakness—but Biblical wisdom (Galatians 6:2, Exodus 18)

  • Three simple ways to begin asking for help today, grounded in Scripture

  • How overcommitment, lack of rest, and self-reliance may be affecting your daughter's discipleship

  • Practical rhythms for sustainable motherhood, including prayerful yeses and sharing the load

  • How American Heritage Girls provides not only support for your daughter—but sacred sisterhood for you

Scriptures Referenced:

  • Galatians 6:2 – "Carry each other's burdens..."

  • Exodus 18:17–18 – "What you are doing is not good…"

  • James 1:5 – "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God..."

  • Proverbs 11:14 – "In an abundance of counselors there is safety."

  • John 15:13 – "Greater love has no one than this…"

You were never meant to carry it all alone, mom. God sees your exhaustion—and He's already provided help through His Word, His Spirit, and His people. May this episode remind you that surrender is strength, dependence is discipleship, and asking for help is one of the holiest things you can model for your girl.
