Hope for Right Now: A Walking with Purpose Podcast

Episode 51: Maternity


Listen Later

Join Lisa and Laura as they wrap up the four-part series on Feminine Genius. The feminine genius has four components: receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity. Each week, Lisa and Laura have unpacked one of these components through the writings of Saint Edith Stein, personal stories, and the Word of God. This is the last week, and we are excited to be talking about maternity! Maternity is more than biological; it is spiritual. The truth is, we are all called to be mothers, to mother the world back to Christ. If you are wondering how, tune in and find out.

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

James 1:27: Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.

Psalm 68:5: Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.
Romans 12:22: Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Invite Him in with this episode’s question for reflection.

You matter.
Sit with this phrase in the presence of God until you fully absorb its truth.

Ask the Lord, “Who am I being called to mother back to God?”
