Super mom. Who is she? Does she exist? And is she worth emulating?

Today’s hustle culture creates a never ending hamster wheel that can very quickly fill our days with rushing from one thing to the next and add pressure for us and our kids to find our identities in what we do and not who we are.

Pretty soon we find ourselves and our families worn out, stressed out and living life waiting for the next break instead of soaking up the mundane moments that build the culture and character of our family.

And all because we wanted to be super mom and do the things the world defines as super!

How can we, as Christian moms, find balance in 'all the things' and still cultivate a God-centered culture in our homes and within our families?

Here to speak to this topic with me this week on the podcast is author, speaker and podcaster - Lisa Clark!

Lisa co-hosts both The Wonder podcast and Raising Sinners podcast with our friends over at Christian Parenting where she encourages Moms weekly to raise their children by God’s Word.

We’re going to talk about the “crazy lady” behind the super mom facade, how to establish what is negotiable and non-negotiable for your family’s schedule, embracing our average kids and so much more!

FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS:

Our kids need love, tenderness, devotion, discipline, structure

We have the best intentions but super mom does not exist - and if she does, she’s exhausted, she’s anxious, she’s tired and she really is missing out on those mundane moments of the day. Those mundane moments of the day are where memories are made.

There is nothing in scripture that encourages us to hustle.

We need to understand that we are the vessel that God is using to get to His children, to bring His children back to Him.

List the negotiables and the non-negotiables in your life and see what you can cut out

We are passing the baton of faith

Make a list...

Things I’m doing to prepare my child for eternity vs. Things I’m doing to prepare my child for life - which one is more full?

80% of our children are leaving the faith when they leave home

I believe that is because those 80% don’t know who they are

Look outside of what your child is doing and focus on who they are

Deuteronomy 6

If we’re relying on the church to teach our children, we’ve missed the mark.

If we’re relying on a Christian school to our children, we’ve missed the mark.

1 Corinthians 10:31

The tipping point happens when it becomes the children’s identity…

It’s our job as moms and dads to de-program our kids from the messages of who the world says they are

It’s the struggle that keeps us on our knees

If we’re “good” we don’t need a whole lot of God
