Moms on a Mission

We expect friendship drama to end in high school. So why are so many of us still navigating friendship wounds as adults?

This week on Moms on a Mission, Amanda and Laura open up about the friendships that shape us, the relationships that change over time, and the hurt that sometimes comes from people we never expected.

After a conversation in a local moms' group revealed just how many women had experienced painful friendship struggles, the discussion turned into something much deeper.

From people-pleasing and avoiding conflict to learning how to trust again, recognizing healthy friendships, and understanding the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, this episode explores what it really means to navigate relationships with grace and biblical wisdom.

Because sometimes healing doesn't mean putting a friendship back together. Sometimes it means finding peace, growing from the experience, and trusting God with what comes next.

Have you ever experienced a friendship breakup as an adult? We'd love to hear your perspective.

Just because our kids are ready for something academically, does that mean they're ready for it emotionally?

What started with a simple permission slip from school turned into a much bigger conversation about parenting, boundaries, and raising kids in today's world.

This week on Moms on a Mission, Amanda and Laura discuss a school request allowing a 13-year-old to read young adult books, the questions it raised, and the balance between protecting our children and preparing them for the world around them.

From navigating outside influences and difficult conversations to building trust, setting expectations, and seeking biblical wisdom, this episode is a reminder that intentional parenting isn't always about saying no. Sometimes it's about knowing when to say yes, and what conversations need to come first.

Season 3 is here!

Moms on a Mission is back after summer break, and we’re kicking things off with a recap of a summer that didn’t always go according to plan—but somehow became one of the best yet.

But this episode is about more than where we went. It’s a reminder that you don’t need a huge vacation or a perfectly planned summer to make memories with your family.

Life feels loud, full, and overwhelming—and most days, it feels like the only way to keep up is to match that chaos.

But what if that’s not what you’re called to?

In this minisode from the Wise Woman series, we talk about what it actually looks like to live out a “gentle and quiet spirit” in the middle of busy schedules, emotional moments, and constant demands. Not weak. Not passive. But steady, peaceful, and Spirit-led.

From real-life parenting moments to the struggle of saying no (even to good things), this episode is a reminder that:
You don’t have to match the chaos around you.

Instead, you can pause.You can choose peace.You can lead your home with intention.

This week’s challenge:Before you respond—pause and ask:
Am I reacting… or am I being led?

Mom rage is real. That moment where I go from calm to completely overwhelmed in seconds… yeah, I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit. And in this minisode, I’m not pretending it doesn’t happen—I’m talking about it.

This episode is built around James 1:19—being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry—and what that actually looks like in real life, not just on paper. Because in the middle of the moment, when emotions are high and patience is gone, it’s not easy.

For me, this is a reminder that anger itself isn’t the problem—it’s how I respond, what I say, and how I show up afterward. I’m learning to pay attention to my triggers, to be more intentional with my words, and to come back and lead well even when I mess it up the first time.

This isn’t about being a perfect mom.
It’s about being aware, growing, and choosing better the next time.

This week, I’m challenging myself to take one breath before I respond.
Not perfection. Not a full reset. Just one breath.

If you’re in that same place—trying, failing, learning, and showing up anyway—you’re not alone in this.

We sat down with Gabby Parham for a real, honest conversation about faith, family, and identity.

This isn’t about titles or labels—it’s about who you are called to be in the middle of everyday life. Gabby shares her story as a mom, creative, and wife, and what it’s looked like to grow into her calling over time—not defined by roles, but by purpose.
