EP4- The Unseen Influence of Moms


Listen Later

If you wanted to change the world, where would you start? A boardroom? A ballot box? What if the most powerful catalyst for change was... a mom?

In this episode, we uncover the often-overlooked force shaping economies, faith, and the very fabric of society: mothers. From economic trailblazers like Deloris Jordan to the spiritual architects of the home, this episode explores the invisible but undeniable power of moms.

We’ll hear from:

  • Katherine Wintsch, CEO of The Mom Complex, on the economic firepower moms wield—and often underestimate.
  • Dr. Aisha Nyandoro, founder of the Magnolia Mother’s Trust, who shares what happens when we actually invest in mothers.
  • Joel Muddamalle, Bible scholar, who helps us reclaim the spiritual identity of motherhood through a scriptural lens.

You’ll also learn how moms have been hosting sacred feasts since the beginning of time—not just in Scripture, but around everyday dinner tables.

Because the truth is: Motherhood is not a support role. It’s a leadership position. And the influence of moms? It’s world-shaping.

In This Episode:

  • Why motherhood might be the most powerful (and underestimated) force in the world
  • The economic influence of moms as "consumer-in-chief"
  • How corporations profit from maternal identity—and what real investment in moms looks like
  • The shift happening in faith communities and the ripple effect of women stepping away from church
  • A look at the sacred table: what biblical feasts and everyday mom-life have in common
