In this episode, Erica talks about the importance of community. Specifically the importance of our relationship with Christ. We should be seeking Him first! What a friend we have in Jesus!

This week Erica talks about how children are a blessing from the Lord, not a burden. It can be easy to fall into the lie that children are burdensome, but what that really reveals is something deeper within our hearts. Not about our children.

In today’s episode, Erica shares a time when she responded to her daughter’s sin with sin of her own. How the Lord convicted her and how she modeled repentance to her daughter through asking for forgiveness.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when our children’s behavior exposes our sin, and how small, everyday moments can reveal pride, impatience, and misplaced expectations. We’ll also explore the importance of self-control, being led by the Holy Spirit, and why it’s dangerous to place the burden of regulating our emotions on our children.

Motherhood has a way of exposing what’s in our hearts—but these moments are opportunities to grow, repent, and respond differently by God’s grace.

Episode 2: Dressed for Battle: Putting on the Armor of God in Motherhood

Motherhood can feel overwhelming—but what if those hard moments are part of a deeper spiritual battle?

In this episode, we walk through Ephesians 6 and what it looks like to practically “put on the armor of God” in the everyday moments of motherhood. From sleepless mornings to moments of frustration, this is a call to ground yourself in truth, guard your heart, and depend on Christ.

Because the battle isn’t against your children or your circumstances—it’s against the lies of the enemy.

And the good news? In Christ, the battle has already been won.

Episode 1: That’s Pretty Cool – When Motherhood Doesn’t Feel Important

In this first episode of The Temporary Podcast, Erica shares a vulnerable moment that changed her perspective on motherhood. Her husband gently reminded her of something simple but powerful: she was raising their daughters.

That moment sparked a deeper reflection on the lies our culture often tells mothers about success, recognition, and what truly matters.

In this episode, Erica talks about the unique calling of motherhood, the beauty of the roles God has given women, and how raising children can be some of the most meaningful work we will ever do.

Motherhood may not always look impressive to the world—but it is a high calling with eternal significance.

Welcome to the Temporary Podcast! The Temporary Podcast is a faith-based podcast that focuses on navigating various seasons of life through the lens of a wife and mother. Making the most of the time we have been given, for every moment is merely… temporary. I hope this is edifying to you.
