The Joy Filled Podcast | Christian Motherhood & Encouragement

To end the year out I wanted to share with you 5 scriptures that have carried me through some of the hardest, most overwhelmed days I've had as a mom. This calling of motherhood isn't easy, but scripture is riddled with verses that we can turn to when it feels too much. 
I'd recommend writing these down and studying/memorizing them. I love the Enduring Word app for commentary!

Hi hi! The podcast is back after a bit of a break and it feels SO good to be back talking with you! Today I'm giving you a life + pregnancy update and talking with you about how to know if the dreams and desires in your heart are from God and what questions I ask myself when deciding whether or not to pursue an idea.

Join me this week as I talk with my friend Ashley Setterlind on motherhood, navigating this season of raising babies at home, “mom boss” culture, and how to honor and remember the Godly fathers who are doing this parenthood thing alongside us.
 
Ashley’s new e-book, Don’t Forget Dad, is out now! It is a 14-Day Journey to Honoring Your Children’s Father based on Ephesians 6:10-18. This resource will teach you how to 1) define the battle, 2) dress in the armor of God, and 3) develop a habit of prayer that intercedes on behalf of your child(ren)’s father, regardless of your relationship with him.

We recently made some small changes to the podcast, and because of that I wanted to take some time today to just share with you the heart and the mission behind the Joy Filled Podcast and answer the question that so many of us ask - how in the world do I reclaim joy? We’re talking about purpose, stewardship, and so much more today. If reclaiming joy is something that you’re in need of and if living “joy filled” feels too good to be true, this episode is for you.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself whether or not you're *actually* claiming the victory Jesus won for you on the cross? This has been on my mind lately, and I wanted to hash it out with you in today's episode. Let's start living as victorious and facing our lives with the confidence that comes from the victory we have in Jesus!
