The Warrior Mama Podcast

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany continues praying through Ephesians 3:14-21, we focus on the final two concepts: that our children would know the love of Christ and be filled with the fullness of God.

To know his love is more than just believing—it’s experiencing it personally, in a way that never stops. A love so deep and real that it shapes how they live and who they become.

We ask God to make this real for them. That he would fill them, again and again, shaping them, molding them, making them a reflection of who he is. That their hearts would never stop reaching for him, never stop being filled by him.

Bethany encourages you to go deeper with God—he invites you to pray this over your children. He longs for them to know him, to walk with him, and to be filled by him.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany is on the third day of diving deeper into Ephesians 3:14-21, breaking it down into six key concepts and praying them over our children. Today, the focus is on truly understanding—grasping the depth of God’s love in a way that becomes unshakable truth.

We are asking God to help our children not just hear about his love, but to know it. To hold onto it so firmly that no experience, doubt, or lie of the enemy can shake it. That they understand the breath, length, height, and depth of his love—not just as words, but as the foundation of their faith.

He has taken all of their sin. Nothing separates them from him.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As we continue praying Ephesians 3:14-21 for our children, we pray that the Holy Spirit will dwell in their hearts. This is more than just a surface-level prayer—it’s asking for Christ to be deeply rooted in their minds and wills.

We are praying for Christ to be united with them, knowing they can’t be okay without him. We’re asking for them to be rooted and grounded in love—a love that serves as the soil in which they’re planted, and the foundation they’re built upon.

When we are rooted in love, it’s the love of God that produces fruit in our lives.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, we can pray powerful prayers for our children, asking God to strengthen them in ways we can’t. In Ephesians 3:14, we’re reminded to pray that God empowers our children through his spirit.

This prayer invites God to work actively within them, filling them with his strength and presence. It’s a reminder that God is always at work in our children, empowering them every day.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. The constant grumbling from our kids—whether it’s about dinner, chores, or not getting their way—can be exhausting. Complaining wears us down, but more importantly, it reveals a deeper issue.

Bethany walks us through Philippians 2:14, showing that complaining isn’t just about words—it’s a heart posture that rejects what’s been given and dishonors God’s design. “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure.”

So where do we start? With prayer. Repentance begins with us. Pray for your child’s heart to soften, for gratitude to take root, and for God to shape us as we lead them with humility.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Have you ever wondered if you’re praying enough? Doing enough? That nagging voice that says, “you’re terrible at this”—that’s not from God.

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful.” —2 Timothy 2:13

God doesn’t turn away when you struggle. His love isn’t conditional. His mercy holds you, even when you fall short. He’s not asking for perfection—he’s calling you to trust him.

Instead of striving, pause. Lay down the pressure to be “enough” and ask him, “where are you calling me deeper?” Then wait, listen, and rest in his presence. Because his faithfulness has never depended on you—it’s who he is.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Parenting isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about walking with God through every moment. 2 Corinthians 4:5-8 reminds me that I’m not doing this alone. Instead of relying on my own wisdom, I ask, “Lord, what would you have me do?” and trust him to guide me.

Right now, that looks like inviting him into your conversations with your kids, leaning on his promises, and surrendering your plans at his feet. It’s not about us—it’s about parenting with him your side, leading the way.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Sharing Jesus with our kids isn’t about giving them a perfectly structured lesson or the "right" words. It’s about living it out—showing them what it means to walk with Him, not just talking about it.

But let’s be honest. It feels hard sometimes. We wonder if they’re really listening, if we’re saying too much or not enough. We don’t want it to sound like another lecture.

2 Corinthians 4 reminds us of what we’re actually called to as moms. Not to have all the answers. Not to force faith into perfect little moments. But to reflect Jesus in how we love, in how we respond, in how we turn back to him again and again.

And when it feels like you’re losing heart—when you’re unsure of what the future holds or if anything you’re doing is making an impact—remember this: Don’t lose heart.

Go back to the one who is your source. Let him fill you so that what overflows into your kids is not pressure or perfection, but faith that is real and alive.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood can feel overwhelming, with constant worries about the future and whether we're doing enough. But in those moments, we can cling to one powerful truth: God has a plan for us and for our children. His outcome is perfect, and that’s where our hope rests.

When we trust in God's plan, we find peace and experience motherhood in a radically different way. So how do we do this?

It’s simple: turn to God's Word. The Bible gives us truths to reset our hearts and minds:

Your True Value:

You are God’s beloved child, and your worth isn’t defined by your circumstances. Romans 8:16

You Are a New Creation:

Through Christ, you are made new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

You Are Freed:

You are freed from the weight of perfection. Romans 6:11

God Is Faithfully at Work:

God is always transforming you, even when you don’t see it. 2 Corinthians 3:18

We Can Overcome Strongholds:

God gives us the power to overcome fears and doubts. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love:

His love for you is unshakable. Romans 8:38-39

These truths help us walk through motherhood with peace, trusting that God’s plan is always better than our own.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood can feel like an ongoing cycle of giving and waiting, with moments of discouragement about whether it’s all paying off. Bethany recently shared a powerful comparison: the pecan tree. A pecan tree doesn’t bear fruit until 10-14 years old, and it’s only fully fruitful after 18-22 years. 

Just like a pecan tree, your child is in process, and you are investing in their growth each day. It’s easy to feel discouraged when you don’t see immediate changes, but remember: you are investing for a lifetime. You don’t control your child’s growth, but God does.

James 5:7-8 reminds us to be patient in the process. Patience isn’t about immediate outcomes but about trusting God and remaining committed to the journey. While we may not see the fruit right away, we can rest assured that God is at work, both in our children’s hearts and our own. So, when you feel discouraged, think of the pecan tree—slow, steady growth is happening, and the fruit will come.
