Tantrums, book fair, red ribbon week, trick or treating. We feel like these terms don’t carry the full weight of how a mom experiences them and we want to rectify that. What if we could re-name all these things to more accurately describe what they are? That is what we are doing in this episode. Join us for some real talk as we redefine terms moms use everyday.

Today we welcome back to the podcast, Jenny Worsham, our Gather Groups Director. We’re closing out Season 5 with one of the hallmarks of Gather Moms which is choosing to mom with intentionality. We know that many days are spent playing catch-up with schedules, laundry and our to-do list, but we believe that making time for intentional moments with our kids is vitally important. Jenny shares with us about the history of Gather, a mom-hack brimming with intentionality and the beauty of community. Our monthly Gather groups have gotten an upgrade with a new video series produced in partnership with RightNow Media. Each core value will now feature a short video teaching that accompanies the study guide. We hope this encourages moms to set aside the time to embrace these values as they seek to teach and live them out in their homes. Check the links below to find the video teaching and study guides. We’re thrilled to offer these updated resources to all our mamas and pray it bears much fruit in the years to come!

MOM HACK:

• Welcome kids home from school with a special treat.
• Pick easy to make treats like store bought cookie dough, cinnamon rolls or popcorn. It’s amazing how that sweet smell when they walk in the door can set the stage for intentional conversation.

GATHER GROUPS:

• Moms of all seasons and life stages meet in Gather Groups across the world.
• We encourage groups to meet once a month for one hour. Choose one thing to take home from the discussion to implement in your home over the next month.

We spend hours searching for things as moms. Lost shoes, favorite stuffed animals, homework and searching in our shopping for the best Christmas presents, the right outfit, the perfect couch. We are willing to spend the time to look for the things that have some value here on Earth but are we willing to spend the time searching for what holds value in both this life and the life to come?

Join us as we talk about Psalm 119 and how we can seek God’s work like seeking treasure and how when we do, it changes everything.

MOM HACK:

• Everything has a place
• Creating zones; especially drop zone
• Uses hanging shoe organizers
• Keeping a tub in the closet for clothes kids have outgrown

TRUTH:

• Psalm 119
• Proverbs 2:1-5
