Ep 67 // Hearing God's Voice for Your Kids Through Intercessory Prayer - Interview with Warrior Mama, Bethany Kimsey

Did you know that YOU are the mightiest intercessor for your children on this earth! If you don’t do it - who else will?

As a mother to 8 children, Bethany Kimsey (aka Warrior Mama )has seen God radically change her messy motherhood from anxious and frantic to peaceful, joyful, and triumphant. She helps weary mothers win the battle against worry and fatigue as they understand their identity in Christ and rest in the hope of the Gospel in community with other moms. 

As a writer, speaker, and encourager of mothers, she wants to see a generation of mothers who can connect their motherhood to the love of Jesus in real and practical ways so that they can be confident. 

Things you will learn/discern in this episode: 

• The miraculous way God brought their family together

• The biggest blessing/biggest challenge of having a large age gap between oldest and youngest kids

• How do you navigate sibling dynamics - if they aren’t connected?

• Bethany’s “tenets” of parenting

• Overarching principles upon which we write interactions

• Helping kids toward greater self-awareness




• Let your kids know (specifically) what you’re praying for them! 

• Pay attention to the person who annoys you the most - because they are the key to discovering how God is pruning and growing you.

• The lies we believe as parents about the “expected outcome” of our kids. 

• What to do when you think everything is up to you.

• Why we constantly seek comparisons in motherhood and what God offers us instead.

• How Bethany senses God’s voice and knows He is speaking to her. 

• The power of praying for your kids. And a tool that will help you do just that!

• What to do when the “answers” don’t come like you’d hoped.

• How to see God’s work in returning to certain themes of prayer.

• Hear what Bethany is asking God about right now (Spoiler alert: It makes her nervous!)

Megan is a Kingdom life coach, author, and speaker who helps God’s people align with God’s voice and get activated to live into their divine destiny! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.

Quotable Quotes from Bethany:

“In parenting, you’re always playing the long game. We don’t panic in the teensy moves of the day to day. You keep a long term vision. Always speak where you want to go.”

“If your family is chosen for you then they are for your good and for God’s glory. The person who annoys you the most, more than likely will draw you closer to God because it will expose your need for Him!”

“God has already given us a triumphal procession and victory in motherhood. The problem is that we take our eyes off the General (Jesus).”

“The Spirit of God is always precise and restorative. It is never shame inducing.”

Anna McLaughlin is a happy wife and grateful-but-sometimes-tired homeschooling mother of four, life coach, podcaster, investor, and child of God. 

Over a decade ago, Anna left her demanding career as a corporate lawyer to be more present with her family.

Combining her strategic bent as a former lawyer with her insights as a coach as well as her Holy-Spirit-led intuition, Anna encourages women of faith to uncover and own their unique God-given identity in all areas of their lives, so that they might serve with purpose and passion both at home and beyond.

• Advice for those leaning into faith for the first time

• The challenge to not categorize your life “before” is all wrong, and this is all “right” - there is a discernment process here. Look for the blessing in it all!

• The iterative process of our faith life

• Anna’s advice to confirm God’s voice in our life

• Her current discernment process and what she’s asking the Lord about right now!

Quotable Quotes from Anna:

“I remember reading the bible at age ten and feeling a great sense of home and familiarity. God had always been calling me but I didn’t know how to identify him as Christ.”

“I didn’t know how to clean up the messes I made and realized only God knew the path forward. I gave it all to him and, brick by brick, he helped me create the path forward.”

“I wanted to go all-in on the Kingdom. How could I walk this out? It became a very iterative process.”

Ep 63 // Three Reasons Pruning is Essential for Exponential Kingdom Growth {The SO THAT Series}

Let’s be honest. No one likes to be pruned. Because - it hurts! BUT - we will learn in today’s episode that pruning is not optional. It is essential if you want to bear much fruit for Kingdom impact and God’s glory. 

Welcome to the final installment of “The SO THAT” series! Together we are studying the connector phrase “so that” as it relates to Scripture. This tiny little phrase will lead you deeper into the heart of God SO THAT Christ may be glorified in your life and on this earth.

In short, this series explores the REASON for the ACTION and BELIEF of the Christian faith. Why does any of this matter?

FOCUS in this episode: John 15:1-3

• The science behind pruning for plants. 

• Three important things that happen because of pruning!

• How we make ourselves susceptible to disease (both literal and spiritual).

• What you have control over that has a direct impact on the fruit you bear.

• How/why you withhold growth in others when you resist being pruned by the Spirit. 

• You have a choice as to whether or not you will submit to the pruning.

Reflection questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• Is there any area of your life that may not be yielding nourishing fruit?

• Where are you feeling pruned in your life right now?

• How might you be resistant to the ‘pruning’ God wants to bring into your life? 

• In what way could you prune or scale back your commitments so that you can bare better fruit?

• What is one specific way you could adjust the way you spend your time to yield better fruit?

• On the flip side, is there any area of your life that isn’t bringing honor to God’s name? Ask the Holy Spirit to bring loving conviction. And then bring it to the cross. Give it to Jesus. He can forgive and transform you at any point!

• If you are called to release something specific and walk in a new way with God - what support do you need to do this well and bear fruit?

Ep 58 // The Reason Jesus’ Prayed for Unity and Against Division in John 17 {The SO THAT Series}

Welcome to the“SO THAT” series! This journey will lead you into the WHY behind the WHAT of the Christian faith. We’re told to know and believe so many things - but why?

Together we are studying the connector phrase “so that” as it relates to Scripture. This tiny little phrase will lead you deeper into the heart of God SO THAT Christ may be glorified in your life and on this earth.

In short, this series explores the REASON for the ACTION and BELIEF of the Christian faith. Why does any of this really matter?

FOCUS in this episode: John 17, CSB

We’re digging into Jesus’ final words in his prayer for his disciples and future believers. Why did he pray what he prayed? What does it mean for you and me?

Things we will explore in this episode: 

• The reciprocity of glory - the Father to Jesus and Jesus to the Father

• Jesus is a conduit of God’s love, wisdom, and salvation

• Jesus’ prayer for protection 

• Jesus’ fulfillment of Scripture

• Jesus’ prayer that we would be set apart

• Jesus’ prayer for unity

• Our unity as believers is what will bring the world to a saving knowledge of Jesus

• The glory we have as believers!

• What this prayer means for you and me as we follow Jesus

• Commitment to the church and the body of believers

Reflection questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• Where in your life do you feel confused, alone, imposter syndrome? Let Jesus’ words of encouragement in John 17 encourage you!

• What does it look like for God’s church to be one this side of heaven? Do you believe this is possible?

• Where in your life do you feel love has been lost? How do you feel about this loss? Where do you desire restoration?

Quotable Quotes:

“The supernatural love of the trinity can be infused in our communities. We need to fight against division.”

“If we allow the narrative of factions and divisions to tear us apart we’re playing right into Satan’s hands. This is exactly what he wants.”
