The Warrior Mama Podcast

Candace continues to unpack her wisdom on how God walks with us even in those dark moments. His perfect love protects us.

Candace helps listeners find a healthy way to address their anxieties while bringing themselves back to the truth. Bethany and Candace provide personal experience and tools that have helped them in moments where they are wrestling with anxiety. 

Anxiety can lead you to believe you aren’t a good mom, a good Christian, and that you are the only person battling these feelings. But, these feelings are rooted in lies from the enemy and, in these moments, bring God in. 

Bethany sits with Candace as she shares her story, her experiences, and the struggles she has encountered on her journey through anxiety to help listeners who are struggling with these same feelings.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. In this week’s episode, Bethany invites you to join her at the table as she discusses the purpose of the pause. 

In motherhood, we are often in the thick of crazy as we move fast, and Bethany guides listeners in finding the purpose in the pause. Bethany guides listeners in helping find the purpose by using reflective questioning and taking a deeper dive into uncovering the truth or lies beneath our reactions.

The pause has been pivotal for Bethany in her motherhood and can offer:

• Insight and understanding into your child’s heart

• See more clearly who Jesus is 

• Helps you understand yourself and the lies you are believing 

The pause offers you a chance to invite God in, have gospel conservations, and reflect and determine how to restore in situations rather than yield with scripture. 

Bethany encourages listeners to grab a piece of paper and answer these questions to help them get alone with God and set their minds on him. These questions can help listeners understand in what ways they can apply the pause to their lives and how to invite God in.

Have you ever taken time to pause?

Have you ever thought there was purpose in the pause?

Have you ever prayed specifically for yourself?

Have you allowed him to be the source of your comfort?

Have you asked him to increase your awareness of who he is?

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week Bethany sits at the table with her good friend, Shelley. Bethany and Shelley talk about the stretch and struggle mothers face with work and home life. Shelley provides a faith-based perspective on engaging in both work and home life while finding a rhythm and rest instead of balance. 

Culture wants us to be balanced moms but unfortunately, reaching balance requires us to place effort into one thing over another. Shelley encourages listeners to find harmony by focusing on the most important things. 

Shelley and Bethany talk about the importance of making God a priority and how abiding can help you understand your identity, say yes to the things that matter most, and release the grasp of balance. As moms with a lot on our plates, it’s essential to define the few things God has given us to steward and relinquish the rest.

Shelley refers to Acts 17:28 as a way to help her prioritize finding rest and rhythm in her journey. In him, we find rest.
