This episode is all about faithful obedience even when it doesn't make sense to the world or even on paper. In this episode, I chat with my friend, Brian Lawrence about how he and his wife stepped out in faith to be obedient to what God asked them to do. Even when it's scary, even when we don't have the next step laid out for us, even when we can't fully explain it, the Lord wants us to be obedient. You can connect with Brian on LinkedIn.

Motherhood is a beautiful and hard job, and we have a huge responsibility as mothers. So Satan would love nothing more than for us to believe the lies he puts on us to question ourselves, our capabilities, and even our God. But the Truth - the Word of God - helps us refute those lies so we can walk boldly and freely in our motherhood. Listen in as Rebekah Hargraves shares how allowing the Gospel to impact her motherhood transformed her and allows us to refute the lies we so often believe.
