We prepare ourselves as moms for so many things but we don’t apply that same level of preparation to the daily battle we face spiritually. To be a Christian is to be a warrior and to be in a battle. As John Piper says “we are on a battleship not a cruiseship” and those two come with two completely different mentalities. Join us as we dig deeper into Ephesians 6:10–18!

Motherhood is full of joy but also full of noise and never ending to do lists. Sometimes it feels impossible to pause long enough to breathe, let alone be thankful and yet God invites us to meet him right in the middle of the mess. When we practice gratitude even in the chaos our hearts shift from overwhelm to peace.

As moms, we ALL know what it feels like to be busy, hurried and distracted. Busyness is famous for tempting us to forget what matters most of all! You don’t need to do it all perfectly: God is not asking you to keep up with the pace of the world. He is asking you to walk at his pace and in his peace.

Battling lies with the truth:

Lie: “My value = my productivity.”
Truth: Your identity is received, not achieved (John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8–10).

Lie: “If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.”
Truth: God is the primary Worker; we join Him (Psalm 127:1–2).

Lie: “Hurry is holy because it’s for church/family.”
Truth: Love requires unhurried presence (1 Corinthians 13:4; Dallas Willard: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry”).

Lie: “Attention is cheap; I can multitask my soul.”
Truth: We become what we behold (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Lie: “Rest comes after I finish everything.”
Truth: Sabbath is a gift that enables good work (Genesis 2:2–3; Mark 2:27).

The new series continues with one of our favorites! Our guest today is Sylvia Spencer- wife, mom of 2 daughters, and grandmother to 6! You’re going to want to listen in as she shares all about the top 5 things she has learned (and is still learning) through motherhood! You may not know her name, but her impact can be felt amongst so many women that she has discipled and cared for over decades of women’s ministry. She is fiercely devoted to a life centered around Christ and inviting other people into that life. We are so honored to get the chance to share time with her today. There is no doubt you will leave this conversation encouraged and inspired!

Sometimes being a mom can just get lost in the mundane in and outs of the day to day but it is actually WAY bigger than that. Motherhood is more than a role, or a job—it’s a calling from God, entrusted with eternal significance. Let’s dig deeper into what this unique and important calling entails…
