Moms on a Mission

This week, we’re pressing pause on the deep dives and keeping it light. Join us as we discuss marriage, motherhood, and the humorous (and honest) aspects of living life with our husbands. Think of it as a little warm-up before next week’s special episode… featuring THEM! That’s right, our husbands are joining us on the mic! But first, we’re sharing a few stories, laughs, and real-life moments that led us here.

In this short but special episode of Moms on a Mission, we’re flipping the script and handing the mic to YOU.

It’s officially summer—and we’re here for it! In this Moms on a Mission episode, we’re diving into all things summer. From that first day of no school to what our family rhythms look like when the backpacks are put away, we’re sharing how we shift gears, make memories, and keep the chaos fun. Whether you’re planning a big trip or just trying to survive the heat, we’ve got lighthearted stories, practical tips, and some encouragement to help you soak up the season. Let’s make this summer one to remember!

Ever look around and think, "This is not where I thought I'd be by now?" You’re not alone. In this honest and raw episode, we’re talking about the gap between our expectations and our current reality—especially when it comes to age, milestones, and motherhood. Whether you’re navigating detours in your career, relationships, parenting, or personal growth, this conversation is for the woman who’s still trying to figure it all out. Because maybe it’s not about being on time, but being on purpose.

This one’s for the moms who wonder if their past disqualifies them from raising strong, Christ-centered kids. In this episode, we get real about where we’ve been, what we’ve walked through, and how God’s grace has met us in the middle of it all.

No one gets it perfect, but we can choose to show up every day, love our kids well, and lead our families in faith. We talk about healing, hope, and learning to parent from a place of redemption instead of regret.

Because your past doesn’t define you, and it definitely doesn’t define the future God is building in your home.

Let’s walk this out together—one grace-filled step at a time.

Laura and Amanda are joined by Laura’s longtime friend Randi Rider for an honest and uplifting conversation about forgiveness, blended families, and what it really means to parent with love and intention. Together, they discuss the challenges of split homes, the beauty of chosen families, and how to raise kids well, no matter how they came into our lives.

It’s a powerful reminder that God is bigger than biology and that we’re called to be kind to all kinds. If you’ve ever walked through heartbreak, found healing, or simply needed encouragement for the parenting journey, you’ll feel seen here.

Let’s talk tech—because it’s everywhere, especially in our kids’ hands. In this episode, we unpack the screen time battle: how much is too much, and how do we guide our kids when we’re still figuring it out ourselves? From setting boundaries to checking our own habits, we dive into what it looks like to create space for real connection in a world that’s always online. If you’ve ever felt guilty for handing over the tablet—or catching yourself scrolling a little too long—you’re not alone.

Being a mom on a mission doesn’t mean doing it all—it means doing what matters most. In this episode, we talk about the very real tension between productivity and presence. From laundry piles to lunchboxes, it’s easy to feel like success is found in how much we do—but what if true impact is found in how we show up?

We unpack the difference between being busy and being purposeful, and we look to the Proverbs 31 woman, not as an impossible standard, but as a picture of wisdom, balance, and intention. Join us as we give ourselves (and each other) permission to do our best, not do it all.

In this special spring break edition of Moms on a Mission, we're joined by our little ones for a heartwarming chat about what being a mom on a mission means through their eyes.

Get ready for some adorable insights and laughter as we explore the impact of our daily missions together!

In today’s episode, we’re digging into a powerful and personal topic for every mom—Condemnation vs. Conviction. When we mess up (because let’s be real, we all do), the enemy is quick to whisper lies of shame, failure, and unworthiness. But God’s voice is different. He calls us higher—not with guilt, but with grace.

Join us as we break down the difference between the enemy’s condemnation and the Holy Spirit’s loving conviction. Learn how to recognize each, reject shame, and walk confidently in the freedom Jesus died to give you. If you’ve ever felt stuck in guilt or wondered if you’re hearing from God, this one’s for you.

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 8:1, John 16:8, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Psalm 51:10, 1 John 1:9
💡 You’ll walk away with:– Practical ways to silence shame and speak truth– A renewed understanding of how God corrects us with love– Encouragement to keep growing, even on hard days

Let’s walk in grace—not shame—together!
