Oh Momma, my heart is so heavy. The world feels blanketed in darkness, and maybe like me, you find yourself weeping at random times or holding your babies a little tighter. In this bonus episode, I open my heart about the weight of the days we’re living in and the deep questions we wrestle with:

• How do we keep going when evil seems so strong?

• How do we disciple our children to be warriors of light in a time like this?

• How do we keep from being overcome with fear and hatred?

We turn to the One who is the Light—Jesus Christ. Together, we’ll read from John 1:1–14 and reflect on the unshakable hope we have in Him, the Light that darkness cannot overcome. We’ll also look at encouragement from Romans 12:21 and Ephesians 6:11–12, remembering that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual darkness.

I also share the story of missionary Gladys Aylward, “the small woman with a Great God,” who courageously stepped into dangerous situations with love and boldness, a reminder of what Christ can do through us.

This is not a polished message with neat answers, but a cry for strength, courage, and love in these days. May you be encouraged, reminded that you are not alone, and covered in the peace of Christ as you listen.
