Why do we read our Bibles, pray, and seek out truth when life gets overwhelming? Because we want to grow stronger—spiritually. But what if I told you that same spiritual strength can be reflected in how we steward our physical health?

In today’s empowering episode, I’m showing you how three spiritual principles can radically transform your approach to health and wellness. God designed your body as a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19), and caring for it is an act of worship.

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, overwhelmed, or out of alignment—this is your divine invitation to reset.

🌱 Ready to treat your body like the vessel of glory God made it to be?

I never set out to be a homeschool mom — I just wanted what was best for my kids. But over the last 11 years, God has used homeschooling not only to shape my children… but to shape me.

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 powerful and unexpected lessons I’ve learned from more than a decade of homeschooling — lessons about presence, confidence, and the beauty of God’s unique design in each of our children.

Whether or not you homeschool, these lessons will speak to your heart as a mother and disciple of Christ.

📖 In this episode:

1. Presence Over Productivity
    • Psalm 90:12 – “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

2. You’re More Capable Than You Think
    • 2 Corinthians 3:5 – “Not that we are competent in ourselves… but our competence comes from God.”

3. Your Child’s Uniqueness Is God-Designed
    • Psalm 139:14 – “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

💛 Let this episode be a reminder that your everyday obedience is kingdom work — and you are never alone in it.

Hey there, Mama! Welcome back to the Mama Disciple Podcast. I'm your host, Rhianna Sanford — a homeschooling and special needs mom, health advocate, and most importantly, a disciple of Christ. Today, we’re tackling a popular Christian phrase that sounds comforting... but simply isn’t true.

👉 “God won’t give you more than you can handle.”
We’ve all heard it — maybe even said it. But when we dig into Scripture and look at real life? We see the exact opposite.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Where this saying actually comes from — and why it’s misused.

• Biblical examples that show God absolutely allows more than we can handle.

• Why God allows overwhelming circumstances (hint: it’s not to shame you!).

• How this common phrase can actually be spiritually harmful.

• The beautiful truth that sets us free: we don’t have to be strong enough — because Jesus already is.

You’ll leave this episode encouraged, equipped with Scripture, and reminded that when life feels like too much, you are exactly where God can meet you most powerfully.

📖 Scripture references include:
1 Corinthians 10:13 • John 16:33 • 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 • 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 • Psalm 61:2
