Real-life Christian Motherhood

In this episode, Cas reads the "Mom Guilt" chapter from her book Real-Life Christian Motherhood.

She explains the difference between guilt and shame, offers biblical encouragement from Romans and Hebrews, and gives practical steps to respond with repentance, rely on Christ's grace, and reject personal shame.

Do you have a hard time trusting God with your kids' overall safety?

Do you feel like God is asking you to "surrender" something and it scares the willies out of you?

In this episode, Cas shares some thoughts about how surrender doesn't have to mean death and destruction, and how it can re-ground us on the peace of God (which we so desperately need) when it comes to the welfare of our family members.

NOTE!! I made a mistake on a verse I quoted because my brain was going faster than my mouth, and I wanted to clarify that here! There is a part where I say, "Take up MY cross, and follow me." That is wrong lol. We don't take up Jesus's cross--we could never do that, but He does ask us to take up our own crosses. So please forgive that mistake!!

I also said the word "wife" weird as well because I was trying to say "wife" and "mom" at the same time. So it came out "Waaff." Lord help me haha.

Here's a link to the NDE book that she never got around to mentioning! It talks about NDEs from a Christian perspective. https://a.co/d/006RLUJR

Usually I try to post episodes about motherhood centered topics, but this episode is more about navigating extreme difficulties in general, which definitely can apply to motherhood. The difficulty I'll be speaking of here is the grief associated with my dad's recent death.

This episode centers on Romans 8:6 — the choice between a carnal mind (death) and a spiritual mind (life and peace) — and describes practical steps we can all use to quickly shift our perspective out of the gutter, and, in so doing, find God's amazing comfort.

Please note--I am more of a writer than a podcaster, so this episode has some funny flaws (for example, at some point I cough and the software I'm using to edit the show didn't edit the cough out haha!! O well--real life is what this podcast is all about anyway!). Also, at one point I mention reading some verses in Luke 11. I believe those verses are actually found in Luke 12. My bad!!

I have begged God for ten years to help me not be such an angry mom—to help me not yell and scream at my kids. Due to a recent illness He had begun to do just that and I am utterly amazed.

This podcast is about slowing down and saying LESS to our kids instead of more. About how only God’s power can turn a sore throat into a character overhaul. How powerlessness is actually our strength in Him. How He, as David said, can show us how to do the impossible and “bend a bow of bronze” (Psalm 18).
