The Warrior Mama Podcast

Welcome back to the Warrior Mama Podcast. As mothers, we often want to control and handle everything that happens in our households. From babies refusing to sleep, toddlers fighting, or teenagers who talk back, relinquishing to the Lord in your motherhood isn’t easy. In today’s episode, Bethany gives listeners practical tools anchored in God’s truth.

What happens when we are committed to the Lord, but life breaks loose? We become triggered, and our reactions and discipline come from a place of blown emotions. Bethany takes listeners through her parenting, journey, and, most importantly, how she has partnered and trusted the Lord to help her discipline with a Gospel perspective. 

Join Bethany as she guides listeners in the power of the pause and how trusting in the Lord in your walk through motherhood provides you with insight before you step into the problem. Bethany anchors listeners in scripture so that they can posture themselves and trust the Lord so they can handle the crisis, chaos, and discipline from a Gospel-centered place

Welcome to the kitchen table on the Warrior Mama Podcast. Join Bethany in celebrating the new podcast name. More than anything, Bethany is here to equip listeners as warrior mamas to remind them their job matters despite the days when they feel discouraged, messy, and ultimately feel they’re losing the battle. 

 As mamas we have constant worries, bombarding thoughts, and struggle with mental overload. To help mamas understand the posture of our Lord, Bethany takes listeners into one of her places in scripture, Psalm 37:5. at first glance Psalm 37:5 can be seen as a formula, but when you dive deeper, it’s a true reminder of his commitment to us and that his love isn’t dependent on our performance. 

Bethany guides listeners through how to pray for our kids while combating worry and staying grounded in God’s promises. We must first understand the word to help walk us through worship and trust in the lord.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany is so excited for listeners to join her in a much-needed conversation with Alisa Childers. Alisa brings incredible perspective, experience, and reaffirming words to combat cultural slogans with God’s truth.

 As mothers, we’ve all failed, made mistakes, and could have handled things differently. In today’s episode, Alisa and Bethany’s conversations remind parents they aren’t perfect. Nobody is. Bethany speaks with Alisa about her new book that ultimately tackles the lies we all echo in our heads as parents. 

We live in a society that delivers messages through social media like “you are enough” and “God just wants you to be happy” to make us feel we need to gain validation through others rather than God himself. 

Alisa guides listeners in recognizing the lies, holding steadfast to God’s word, and remembering that surrendering to God is your best posture. By understanding the lies we are being fed, we can help guide our children in holding tight to God’s word and helping them know who they are in him.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Join Bethany this week as she closes this mini-series on how the Gospel radically changes every part of our life. Bethany ends this series with a powerful and significant message on the importance of community.

Motherhood can feel isolating and unruly, and at times it might feel that the world is looking at you with a lens of disgust. Our society shows us the glimpses of perfection of other mothers leaving us feeling inadequate and bowing down in shame. Bethany invites listeners in on the truth that Jesus calls us to become a warrior against the enemy who aims to isolate us. 

Bethany uses a story to put into perspective the importance of a Gospel-based community and how it empowers us to fight the lies of destruction from the enemy. Without community, we become engulfed in the quicksand of the enemy’s lies.

With community, we move forward, we charge the enemy, and most importantly, we’re willing to ask for help. Motherhood shouldn’t feel isolated but empowering, knowing we have Jesus and a community that stands in truth and is locked in the word of the Gospel.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Over the past few weeks, Bethany provided listeners with practical ways to connect to the Gospel while laying the groundwork and applying his words to our walk with both him and our children. 

Bethany continues this conversation this week by helping us understand how to apply the Word of God when we feel lost, defeated, and hopeless. We must understand the journey by loving the word, being in the word, and, most importantly, allowing his word to work within us. 

Listen as Bethany takes listeners through a deeper understanding of sanctification and how God continuously highlights and shows us the areas in which we need to surrender. She explores the process of sanctification and its ever-deepening work within us. When we surrender and seek God to let the word work within us, it can change us.
