In this powerful Mothers Who Know Podcast episode, host Karen Broadhead teaches moms a life-changing truth: you are God’s secret weapon of light in His work. 🌟
Drawing on stories from scripture (like Captain Moroni and the Title of Liberty) and real-life mom experiences, Karen helps Latter-day Saint mothers see themselves as “atmosphere angels”—women who can change the tide of spiritual battles in their homes without everything looking perfect on the outside.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What it really means to be “God’s secret weapon” in your family
How to hold the line on your personal spiritual battlefield and stay “by the tree” even in storms
Why the enemy targets mothers and captains first, and how he uses discouragement, shame, and “it will never get better” lies
The difference between Satan’s lie: “me + more = enough” vs. Christ’s truth: “me + Him = more”
How one mom used three simple questions to stop a chemical spin after her adult son rejected her invitation
How to keep loving, inviting, and standing in truth—even when your children use their agency in painful ways
Karen also references Sister Susan H. Porter’s talk “Lessons at the Well” and reminds every woman listening that:
No matter your circumstances, your life is sacred and has meaning and purpose.
You are a beloved daughter of Heavenly Parents, born with divinity in your soul.
This episode is especially for LDS moms who feel:
Worn out by ongoing battles (pornography, depression, anxiety, self-harm, or other struggles)
“Not enough” as a mother, wife, or disciple
Invisible or unheard by their teenagers or adult children
Unsure how to show up in love without being consumed by guilt and failure
You’ll walk away with hope, language, and perspective to see yourself the way God sees you—and to keep fighting with the Savior, not just for your loved ones, but with Him and through Him.
