The Warrior Mama Podcast

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood changes everything. Before kids, you had freedom—quiet mornings, spontaneous plans, uninterrupted thoughts. Now, your days are filled with constant needs, endless noise, and the weight of responsibility. And sometimes, if you're honest, you miss the old you.

The lie creeps in: you’re missing out. You see friends traveling, pursuing careers, or simply having a moment to themselves, and it stirs something in you. Discontentment sneaks in, whispering that you’ve lost yourself. That life was better before.

But Colossians 3:1-4 reminds us to set our minds on things above. The truth is, you are not missing out—you are walking in a calling. God isn’t rattled by your longing or your weariness. 

Every moment—messy, mundane, beautiful—is for his glory. The only way for the lie to die is to replace it with truth. You have not lost yourself. You are in his calling.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Do you ever say to yourself…"if only this were different, my life would be better." "If only this season were easier."

It’s easy to believe these thoughts. They sneak in when exhaustion sets in, when the demands of motherhood feel overwhelming, when we long for a little more freedom, a little more ease. But the enemy thrives on discontentment. 

Motherhood is a sacrifice. It will cost you time, energy, and peace of mind. But God placed you in this season for a reason. 

Yet we’re always waiting for the next season, thinking that’s when life will finally feel whole. But Jesus tells us in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry.” Our hunger for something different, something easier, is really a hunger for him.

We have to confront the lie that a change in circumstances will satisfy us. It won’t. Only Jesus will. If we don’t sit with him, we will always feel empty. Today, instead of longing for a different season, let’s choose to fill up on the truth: he is enough, and he is here in this season, too.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. It’s easy to believe the lie that we are alone, that no one sees us, that we carry our burdens by ourselves. But scripture reminds us of a greater truth—God is with us, and he is our helper.

Bethany shares with us in scripture how God declares himself to be on our side. In Psalm 118:6-7, he stands with us so we have no need to fear. In Psalm 54:4, he is the one who upholds our life. Psalm 59:9-10 reminds us that he is our refuge, the one who goes before us. Isaiah 41:10 assures us that he strengthens and helps us, holding us in his righteous hand. And in John 10:27-30, Jesus promises that nothing can snatch us from him.

Over and over, scripture reveals the same truth—God is not distant. He is with us, walking beside us, strengthening and helping us. Where we once believed we were alone, we can replace that lie with the truth: he is our helper, and we can call on him. 

We are not meant to walk this life by ourselves. He invites us to link arms with him and trust that he will sustain us.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. The enemy tries to plant doubt in our hearts—whispers that no one sees us, no one understands, and that even God has turned away. In motherhood, it’s easy to believe the lie that we are alone in the struggles, unseen in the sacrifices, and left to figure it all out on our own.

But Bethany roots mothers in the truth of Scripture, reminding them of God’s promise in Hebrews 13:6—that he is our helper, our strength, and we have no reason to fear. She points to Joshua 1:9, where God assures us that he is always with us, walking beside us through every challenge, every moment of doubt, and every decision we face.

Motherhood can feel isolating, but the promise remains—you are not alone.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. It’s easier to spot a lie when we know the truth inside and out. The more time we spend with God, the more we recognize when something doesn’t align with his word. 

In Genesis 3, the serpent’s deception began with a simple question: “Did God actually say…?” That same tactic is still used today—whispers of doubt that make us question what we know to be true.

Lies steal our identity. They layer in doubt, insecurity, and shame. They make us second-guess our values, shifting our foundation if we’re not anchored in God’s truth. But Psalm 19:7-8 reminds us that the word of the Lord is perfect.

When we become experts in scripture, we are equipped to stand firm. We don’t have to wonder if we’re being deceived—we can confidently recognize the enemy’s lies and replace them with the truth.

Life as a mom is full of ups and downs, but no matter how tough our days are, we can walk well with Jesus. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus teaches us the importance of building our lives on a solid foundation—his truth.

When we build our foundation on God's Word, it keeps us grounded, even when things get difficult. Life will still bring challenges, but if we hold fast to the gospel, we won’t be shaken.

 The key is focusing on the truth of scripture and letting it guide us through the storms of life.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. How often do we hold back in prayer, thinking God doesn’t need to hear the small stuff? We bring him the big, overwhelming burdens but hesitate when it comes to the everyday struggles, the tiny worries, or the things we think we should handle on our own. But scripture reminds us—he wants it all.

1 Peter 5:7 makes it clear that God cares deeply about us, and because of that, we’re called to cast all our worries on him. Not just the heavy things. Not just the things we can’t fix. All of it.

Matthew 6:8 reminds us that God already knows our needs before we even ask. He is fully engaged with us, walking with us through every burden, big or small. If something is weighing on you—even if it feels insignificant—it matters to him.

He invites you to bring everything to him. Nothing will be rejected. Nothing is too small. When you’re struggling, cast it at his feet. He is deeply affectionate toward you, and he’s not waiting for only the “big” things.

Motherhood can be overwhelming. From the never-ending laundry to the constant questions about whether you’re doing enough, it can feel like you’re carrying a heavy load. The clutter, the screen time battles, and even the guilt of not always getting it right—sometimes it all adds up.

But Psalm 37:5-7 reminds us to “commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.” Let go of the weight of perfection and trust that God is guiding you.

Let the heavy stones of disappointment and the little pebbles of doubt roll off your shoulders, knowing He is with you every step of the way.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood is exhausting. It’s mentally and emotionally draining. But Jesus is inviting us to come to him with that exhaustion. He doesn’t just want part of it—he wants it all.

Bethany reflects on Matthew 11:28-30 and what Jesus is really saying: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This isn’t just a call—it’s an invitation, especially for mothers.

Bethany dives into these scriptures, breaking them down so you can see how they relate to your life. What does rest really mean? It’s peace. It’s hope. It’s Jesus carrying it all for you. 

Bring all your burdens to Him. He’s the one who can carry it all and give you the rest you truly need.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany knows it’s not just about ignoring the load. It’s about laying it down in a way that doesn’t feel like you’re avoiding it. Jesus is dependable, and he will step in and interject, offering a plan of rescue and redemption.

She often finds herself wishing life were easy and predictable, thinking, “If only life were easy…” But in John 10:10, Jesus reminds us that he came to give us life to the fullest. In John 1:16-17, we see his grace and truth in action.

Sit with these scriptures. Don’t let the enemy persuade you otherwise. Trust that Jesus will carry the load, and in him, you’ll find the rest and redemption you need.
