The Warrior Mama Podcast

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As the back-to-school season approaches, parents face a common yet heart-wrenching challenge – letting go. Whether it's the first day of kindergarten or the day they send their child off to college, releasing their grip and allowing their children to step into new phases of life can be challenging. 

Join Bethany as she dives into the concepts of letting go and fully surrendering to allow the Lord to step in. Letting go when our children are learning and stepping into new seasons is a reflection of God's plan for our lives. In these moments, we are called to step back and allow the lessons to unfold, trusting that God is at work in the outcome.

As parents, the battle of letting go isn't a one-time event. It's an ongoing process, and just as we repeatedly entrust our children to new experiences, we must continually renew our commitment to placing God at the center of our lives.

As we embrace the letting go journey, whether it's waving goodbye to a kindergartner or watching a college student embark on a new adventure. Remember that this act of release is deeply rooted in the Gospel message. It's an opportunity to cultivate trust, to believe in a God who keeps His promises, and to find our security in His pursuit and grace.

Anchoring Scriptures:

Colossians 1 Ephesians 1

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Over the past few weeks, Bethany has invited you into a series on building a foundation in motherhood, and this week is dedicated to the moms. Motherhood is a beautiful and transformative journey but comes with its share of challenges and uncertainties. We often find ourselves feeling empty, poured out, and needing guidance. 

In these moments, it becomes crucial to build a strong foundation for our motherhood that is grounded in the gospel's truth and connected to Jesus. In today's episode, Bethany explores John 7:37-39 to help you understand why building this foundation is essential and how it can bring clarity and assurance to our journey.

Building a solid foundation in motherhood based on God's truth can provide the clarity and assurance we need to navigate the challenges that come our way. Through prayer, seeking His guidance, and diving into His word, we can find the direction and wisdom to nurture and raise our children. This connection with God's word not only brings hope and strength to us but also enables us to pour out His love and grace upon our children.

Let us invest in our spiritual walk, allowing Him to pour out of our lives and into our children's lives. With God as our guide, we can find the assurance and strength needed to navigate motherhood's beautiful yet challenging adventure.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. In the midst of our journey centered on building a foundation in the gospel, we often overlook—the mundane moments. In today's episode, Bethany welcomes listeners into a conversation where we can consider how we can cultivate a gospel-centered lens in these everyday experiences.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easy to overlook the holiness of those mundane moments. Whether dealing with a meltdown in a grocery store or children whining during errands, we can practice discernment and grace. Grounding ourselves in the present moment allows us to unpack the motivations behind our emotions and reactions.

Drawing inspiration from passages like Isaiah 40:11, we can find comfort in knowing that God provides strength, support, and guidance even in ordinary moments. Engaging in meaningful conversations during grocery shopping or dining at a restaurant can foster deeper connections with our children and reinforce our gospel-centered approach to life.

As we strive to build a foundation in the gospel, let us not overlook the transformative potential of the mundane moments that fill our daily lives. Embracing these moments with grace, discernment, and wisdom allows us to find holiness and gospel truths in our everyday life.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Today's episode continues the series on building our foundations rooted in God's word. Parenting can be a challenging journey, especially when our children grapple with fear. Bethany explores the significance of anchoring our motherhood in gospel truth while acknowledging the abundance of opinions and advice out there. 

Through scripture, word pictures, and practical strategies, Bethany offers opportunities to help your children navigate the thoughts that cause fear by pivoting them back to what God says and the truth he offers—helping our children navigate. Instead of merely helping them understand why they feel afraid, we should strive to link their fears to the truth of God's Word. By doing so, we guide them toward a solid foundation built on the promises of God.

By building a foundation rooted in gospel truth, we can help them navigate through fear and anxiety. Remember, God knows our children intimately and invites us to seek Him through prayer and rely on his wisdom. As we shift our focus from worldly advice to God's promises, we equip our children with the tools necessary to combat fear with unwavering faith.

Bethany welcomes you back to the kitchen table, and today’s episode is rooted in applying the word of God to morning rituals and bedtime routines. There is much to be said about bedtime and morning practices, and there isn’t a magic recipe or a one-size-fits-all solution to the perfect bedtime routine or morning ritual. But instead, it’s the intention behind these practices. 

Bethany isn’t here to offer another mantra but instead provides scripture and the invitation God offers you. Bethany asks listeners to look deeper into the holiness of each immediate moment and interaction by tuning to God to ask for perspective through his lens.

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to create these routines. Allow yourself the freedom to experiment, adjust, and find what works best for you and your children. As you embark on this journey, trust that God will use every aspect of your bedtime routine and morning ritual to enrich your life and draw you closer to Him. Seek Him always and listen to what he is telling you.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Dealing with toddler tantrums is inevitably a season of motherhood that we all walk through. While there are a lot of strategies, methods, and advice out there, in today's episode, Bethany comforts this aspect of motherhood with a Gospel perspective built on the six principles in which God offers his strength. 

Interacting with your child during tantrums and fits while maintaining a gospel perspective requires intentionality and grace. In these moments, we are often triggered and sparked with anger and frustration, but we remember God's posture and the compassion he offers in these moments. Parenting from a gospel perspective requires us to approach tantrums and challenging moments with love, compassion, and a commitment to restoration.

Bethany offers practical ways to handle these moments with your littles and verbiage to consistently point them to God's love and their need for a savior. As we navigate the ups and downs of parenting, let us strive to reflect on our Heavenly Father's love, extending grace and understanding to our children even during their most challenging moments.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week on the Warrior Mama Podcast, Bethany continues her summertime series, and today she welcomes listeners into parenting tweens and teens. Parenting moody kids can be undeniably challenging, but it's important to remember that you are not alone in this journey. Bethany reminds listeners of the importance of building a foundational rock through scripture and six principles that offer God's strength.

Society offers suggestions and advice for parenting your moody teens, from remaining calm to refraining from over-punishing. But, as mothers, we instantly feel defeat and failure when the advice doesn't work and the enemy preys on these motions of weakness. And today, Bethany offers you hope, encouragement, and the reminder that anchoring yourself in God's truth and the six principles will help you meet your children with more connection, grace, a stronger relationship, and a more solid foundation to build upon these principles. 

Bethany gives listeners three pivotal questions to ask themselves when met with a teenager who is moody, angry, or wants to be left alone. Remember, it's a challenging phase, but with perseverance and support from God, you can navigate through it and foster a stronger parent-child relationship.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week on the Warrior Mama Podcast, Bethany welcomes listeners into familiar struggles families face this summer, sibling fights, and rivalry. It’s inevitable during the summer months as siblings have less structure and more time together. 

In today’s episode, Bethany reminds listeners of the six Gospel truths to anchor in and how we can continue to ground ourselves in the Word so that when our children fight, we can build upon God’s promises while meeting our children with an understanding of their heart posture while offering grace and forgiveness.

In a world filled with conflicting advice and noise, discernment is essential, especially in motherhood. Throughout this episode, Bethany offers the vital reminder of building upon the invitation to walk with Jesus during your journey while intentionally pivoting your children back to their relationship with the one who offers forgiveness and cleansing. 

All siblings fight and on average about eight times every hour, and regardless of what the world tells you, no family has it figured out. Still, instead, we can rest ourselves in the six overarching principles and allow these to be the anchoring hooks for your family.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week on the Warrior Mama Podcast, Bethany continues bringing listeners into a summertime series about motherhood through the lens of the Gospel. Our culture offers remedies, societal norms as well as pressure in motherhood. Bethany brings advice and encouragement and breaks down concepts in motherhood that we have accepted. 

From moody teenagers to sibling fights, we all encounter big and small moments of motherhood where we need support, answers, and guidance. In today’s episode, Bethany introduces six principles that offer God’s strength so that you can instead look at the opinions of God rather than the opinions of society. Through these six principles, we anchor in God’s word but also remember that while we have a job in parenting, we need to partner with God because he knows our child intimately. 

Bethany reminds listeners of the importance of rooting ourselves in these principles so that when we tackle the big moments in motherhood, we can offer grace, repentance, and forgiveness but also turn to God for wisdom and guidance because his word is rich. He wants to walk in motherhood with you so that you can pivot your children back to him and his promises in the word.
