Ladies, we need to talk. How did we get here—where the world tells us what beauty is, and we just go along with it? We question our reflection, chase the latest beauty trends, and somehow believe that if we just find the right skincare routine, the right outfit, or the right workout, we’ll finally feel good about ourselves. But here’s the truth: no amount of contouring or curated Instagram feeds can fill the void that only God can.

So, what if we shifted our focus? What if, instead of striving for worldly perfection, we fixed our eyes on Jesus? What if our beauty goal wasn’t anti-aging but reflecting Christ? Moms, we’re challenging each other to stop taking beauty cues from the world and start looking to the One who created us. Let’s talk about what it really means to behold Him and let His reflection shine through us.

From the very beginning, shame about our bodies wasn’t part of God’s design. But thanks to sin and, let’s be honest, a whole lot of media influence, we’ve been fighting that battle ever since. So today, we’re diving into what it really means to see ourselves through God’s eyes—because we become what we behold. And if our eyes are glued to culture’s impossible standards, no wonder we’re exhausted!

Grab your coffee (or reheat it for the third time), and let’s dig in!

Married mamas, our husbands need our time, talk, and touch. Our kids can be so persistent with getting what they want and need from us that by the time we get a moment with our husbands, we may feel talked and touched out. There are small, intentional choices we can make to prioritize our husbands.

One thing we can do right away: FIX OUR FACE when we first see him after a long day. A quick hug and an intentional moment of joy in your face when you see him can be game changing. We know marriage is challenging and we are not trying to sugarcoat any unhealthy issues in this episode. If your marriage is struggling, please reach out for help.

Gather Groups are a great way to find mom community and to share with other women where you need help. You may be shocked to learn how many other people have experienced or are experiencing what you’re going through. Knowing we are not alone is powerful and disarms the shame so we can stop hiding and start getting the help we need.

Have you ever had to say to your kids, “FIX YOUR FACE?” Sometimes, we need to say it to ourselves, too! We see and hear wild things as moms and we often have to fix our faces. In this episode, Jenny, Kate, and Rebecca share who has the worst poker face and why it’s important to fix our faces when our kids say things that shock us.

We also need to know WHERE our faces are fixed when we face the daily battles of motherhood. We’re deep diving into the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 to get a battle plan together for where we fix our face in the challenges of motherhood.

We are also sharing about the new resource we have for you! It’s called: Moms, Let’s Talk and is about crucial conversations we must have with our kids. You can find our new workbook on Amazon and the video series that goes with it on RightNow media. You can do this study on your own or grab a group of mamas and do it together.

Hey Mamas! We’ve made it to the last episode of our Christmas series, and oh, what a journey it’s been! Today, we’re diving deep into the story of the Magi (the Wise Men) and King Herod. You guys, the contrast between these two is SO powerful. The Magi came to worship Jesus with humble hearts and incredible gifts, while Herod… yikes. His fear of losing control drove him to manipulation, lies, and even tragedy.

As we talked through this, we realized something BIG: sometimes we’re more like Herod than we’d like to admit (ouch ). But that’s where God’s grace steps in! We’re reminded to focus on Jesus, to stop what we’re doing, and give Him our hearts—even if it means pausing the chaos of the holidays for a quick prayer .

God’s plans are SO good, Mamas. Did you know Daniel’s faith (yes, from the lion’s den ) might’ve inspired the Magi to seek Jesus hundreds of years later? Like, what?! Nothing is wasted in God’s story, and that includes all the hard stuff we go through, too.

We’re wrapping up this episode with a challenge to pray for people around the world who can’t celebrate Christmas freely like we can. Let’s lift them up as a family and keep our eyes on the hope and joy that Jesus brings!

This Christmas season, let’s hit pause and remember what the holiday is really about. We all know it’s easy to get caught up in the glittery decorations, the must-have gifts, and the endless shopping lists. But what if we stopped for a moment and asked ourselves: Are we celebrating Christmas the world’s way, or God’s way? Because, let’s face it, God’s kingdom is upside down! His idea of royalty looks nothing like what we see in movies. A stable birth, humble shepherds, and a feeding trough for a crib—talk about a plot twist!

As moms, we’re juggling the stress of perfecting the Christmas tree, finding the ideal gifts, and making everything “Insta-worthy.” But here’s the fun truth: the real joy of Christmas doesn’t come from a picture-perfect holiday. It’s about celebrating Jesus, serving others, and soaking in the simple moments that truly matter. This season, let’s flip the script and focus less on what the world says Christmas should be and more on what God modeled for us. Instead of stressing over matching pajamas and show-stopping decorations, let’s shift our hearts to celebrating Jesus with joy, peace, and maybe even a little less shopping!

So, if you’ve already hit the holiday grind or if you’re just getting started, don’t worry—it’s never too late to make this Christmas different. Let’s keep the fun, but put Jesus first. Because when we celebrate the season His way, the peace, joy, and hope we’re all looking for? It’s already there, waiting for us. Let’s make this Christmas one that truly honors the King.

Hey moms! Oh my goodness, this episode is bursting with Christmas cheer, deep truths, and some good laughs (seriously, how many pregnancy tests did YOU take?). We’re diving into Christmas movies, those magical moments that warm our hearts—and comparing them to the real magic of Christmas: the greatest story ever told.

We laughed over our favorite holiday movie quotes (yes, Elf makes the list!), swapped hilarious stories about pregnancy tests, and marveled at Mary’s incredible faith in God’s promises. How amazing is it that the same hope Mary held is available to us today?

So grab your cocoa, settle in, and let’s celebrate the season with all the joy, laughter, and encouragement you need. Don’t forget to share this with another mom who needs a little hope this season. You’re doing an incredible job, and we’re here cheering you on!

We’ll also cover some of the real concerns about social media and apps, ways we can empower our kids, and practical tips to protect them from online dangers. We know these conversations aren’t easy, but moms, together, we can do this! So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s make the online world a little cozier for our kids.

As moms, we can either be super helpful to each other or end up being harmful if we aren’t careful with our words. We’re talking in this episode about things moms say to other moms and we’re focusing on the things we say that aren’t helpful. Unsolicited advice, minimizing, and comparing are all things we do that are not great.

A mom that is going through a hard time might share with a mama a season ahead of her and instead of hearing hope and encouragement, she gets the dreaded: JUST WAIT. As in, just wait until the newborn that doesn’t sleep becomes a tantrum-throwing toddler. Then, we find a mama who was already overwhelmed feeling worse as she anticipates all the hard to come.

Instead, what if we speak JUST WAIT into other moms as a way to offer hope as we share how good it’s going to be! As in, just wait until that sweet newborn can say mama and give you a hug. It’s going to be great! Let’s speak hope and life and joyful expectancy into each other, moms!

We’re so quick to get our kids to the doctor but THE WORST about getting ourselves there. This episode, we’re talking about things moms say to other moms. One of the helpful things we might need to say to another mom is: Go to the Doctor.

We have to do better about prioritizing our own health, moms! We want to be able to live long, healthy lives and be present for the people counting on us. Stop putting it off and make the appointment today!

As Rebecca shares here, your body is a temple of God. Incredibly, the Holy Spirit lives in you. We want to honor God with our bodies by caring for that temple.
