Risen Motherhood

As a mom in the midst of little years, I don’t have enough time (or don’t often make the time) to contemplate and ruminate on thoughts and ideas. I’ve been so thankful to be one of the beneficiaries of Laura and Emily’s wisdom and advice as they are avid readers; clear and concise speakers; and hilarious, honest, and genuine moms. I’m so thankful for their influence in my life as a mom over the past 7 years as I’ve listened to them in my earbuds while doing dishes, going for walks, waiting in the car rider line at school, and any other free time I had. This has been my all time favorite podcast. I’ve felt like I’ve gotten to sit in on amazing conversations between close friends who pack in so much truth with understanding, intention, and right perspective. Their humor, their sincerity, their honesty, and all of their content has greatly enriched my life. No matter where I’ve moved around to over the past years, I always had RM available to guide me, encourage me, and help build my faith. I’m so thankful I got to be a mom in a time where I had access to this great resource. This ministry has been such an amazing blessing! Although I’m sad to see them go, I respect and admire their decision to move on with their next chapter in life as their children enter the preteen and teenage years. And I feel so blessed to have had their influence about rest, taking breaks, and saying no to good things to say yes to the best things- which include my inner circle people- my husband and kiddos being #1. Thank you Emily and Laura and the Risen Motherhood team- it’s been so nice being a spectator of your ministry- you all are gems and I wish you and your families the best!

About a year ago when I was pregnant with my first, I searched for a podcast on motherhood that was biblically centered. I was looking for ways to apply gospel to everyday life as a mother in addition to normal motherhood advice. This is the only podcast that I found that really moved me. I started all the way back on the first episode and have been making my way through. Not only do these episodes help remind you of God’s glory and goodness when you’re stressed or overwhelmed, but they also help with everyday problems. Because my little is a couple seasons behind their kids, it helps me prepare ahead of time. I can try my best now to prepare answers to hard questions, ways to address complicated topics, and having grace in difficult moments of motherhood.

An amazing podcast that will leave yo encouraged and uplifted. They talk about the realities of motherhood and ALWAYS bring it back to the truth of the gospel. I am so thankful for Risen Motherhood!!

When I had my first child, I found the Risen Motherhood book, which provided so much encouragement. Every day that I read I felt lighter and more confident. Then I was sad once the book was done, until I discovered there was also a podcast! Then I gave a little hallelujah dance, and began to get my weekly encouragement fix. Hooray hooray hooray for Risen Motherhood!
