Motherhood is Kingdom work—hard, holy, and worth it. Here’s practical hope for every season.
This week we’re talking to the mamas—Reclaiming Motherhood—and Suzanne invited her daughters (now moms themselves) for a raw, hope-filled roundtable. If your days feel long, loud, and a little lonely, this one’s for you.
Big idea:
Motherhood is Kingdom work. It’s hard, but hard doesn’t mean bad. God gently leads those who have young (Isaiah 40:11), and He’s shaping your heart while you shape theirs.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Mindset shifts that change the day: Make motherhood the main thing; chores and schedules fit under it—not the other way around.
- Connection over perfection: Get on the same side of the line with your child—join their world, then invite them into yours.
- When you feel weak or “not enough”: Name the insecurity, bring it into the light, and ask for help (from God, your spouse, and your people).
- Loneliness hacks: Build quick, deep check-ins with mom friends; scoop your spouse into the daily story; practice God-with-us moments during nap-trap hours.
- Practical positivity: Make more deposits than withdrawals—call out small wins (“You put your shoes away—crushed it!”).
- Repent & repair: You’ll blow it sometimes. Own it quickly. Repentance restores connection and resets the culture at home.
- Mission of motherhood: If all you do is disciple the children God gave you, you are living the Great Commission at home.
Try this this week:
-
Play on purpose: Spend 10 minutes fully in your child’s world—no multitasking.
-
One ask for help: Text a friend or your spouse one concrete need (“Can you grab the bedtime dishes?”).
-
Positivity ratio: Aim to say 3 life-giving comments for every correction.
