Join Allison and Jess as they delve into the thought-provoking pages of "Bread of Life" by Abigail Dodds, sharing their insights and opinions on this captivating read. But that's not all! They also have an exciting announcement about this month's book selection: "Pretty Little Pieces" by Carmen Schober.

In this interview, Taylor (@taylorkulik) and I talk about what's normal in regards to infant sleep in the first year and what's not normal. We cover the Safe Sleep 7 and what is and is not recommended in terms of safe sleep environments. If you're dealing with sleep red flags, we talk about what to consider next including things like oral ties, airway issues, breastfeeding problems, and food sensitivities as well as where to look for next steps. Most importantly, we talk about how to function and care for yourself during a season of very little sleep. Taylor's website with info on consults and courses can be found HERE. Her podcast episode that goes in-depth on sleep red flags is HERE. Taylor did a sleep module within the postpartum segment of my breastfeeding course, Nourished Beginnings. You can find that course HERE. (code PODCAST15 will get you 15% off!) Use THIS LINK + code "newtoearthley" for 10% the Goodnight (magnesium) Lotion we talk about at one point. Dr. Jame's McKenna's books, research, and website are a wealth of sleep information for moms of young children. You can find his safe co-sleeping guidelines HERE. This BBC article from 2022 summarizes a lot of what we do know about infant sleep (which isn't as much as we like to think). I found this article to be extremely interesting since it analyzed global trends and reported sleep norms. You can read it for yourself HERE. THIS podcast interview with Abigail Dodds on the Journeywomen podcast was so encouraging to me in one of my seasons of sleep deprivation. Finally, THESE WORDS from Charles Spurgeon hit me when my first was just 2 months old and, like I mention in the episode, I was just so discouraged that he wasn't sleeping the way I'd expected him to. **This podcast is for educational purposes only!

There are few things that make humans feel more alone than experiencing loss. Ron Deal and Michelle Hill talk about the grieving process and how to care for yourself and others you know who may be grieving. We'll also hear from Matthew Arbo and Abigail Dodds.
The concept of expressive individualism in one that all parents should be aware of, as expressive individualism is a pervasive ideology in today's world that's guiding the beliefs and behaviors of our children and teens. Perhaps a better way of saying it is that this ideology is mis-shaping our kids away from who God desires them to be. In a recent article in the 9marks journal, Abigail Dodds explains expressive individualism as holding that each person's core self is an inner psychological self based on inner feelings and desires that ought to be lived out and expressed. Dodds offers three suggestions about raising children in the midst of this ideology. First, help your kids see that who they are is discernable and given to them by God. It's not a matter of personal choice. Second, help them to see that they need to focus their thoughts and actions on God and his will. Finally, help them to trust the external reality of God and his Word as the guide for life, rather than their own personal feelings.
What is the Culture War? Should Christians engage in it or shy away from it? Will taking a stand in the culture hurt our witness? I discuss this topic with my guest, Abigail Dodds.

In this week's episode of The About Her Podcast, I chat with Abigail Dodds about Feminism and the Transgender Movement. Abigail and I address a number of questions in this episode including the following: (1) Is it sinful or wrong to consider oneself a Feminist? (2) Has the Feminist Movement advanced in recent years and if so, how? (3) How do we rightly or biblically empower women, especially on issues where women are being mistreated or misrepresented? In addition to these questions, we also discuss two events/articles that made their way into the public eye this past week. First, USA Today's publication of an article identifying Dr. or Admiral Rachel Levine as “one of USA TODAY's Women of the Year.” USA Today considers this award, “A recognition of women across the country who have made a significant impact” (USA Today). Second, the NCAA's recognition of Penn State Swimmer Lia Thomas as "the first transgender woman to win an NCAA championship" (The Washington Post). Abigail Dodds is a Wife to Tom and a mom to five great kids. She is a Regular Contributor at Desiring God and the author of '(A)Typical Woman.' She also writes frequently for her own blog hopeandstay.com and is a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church in the Twin Cities where her husband, Tom, serves as an elder. In her free time, Abigail is a baking enthusiast, gardener, and, as she says, a mediocre knitter, but I'm sure she is wonderful at knitting too. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theaboutherpodcast/support
To kick off season 2 of the Fruitful Homemaker Podcast I interviewed Abigail Dodds. I hope this episode is a blessing to you!Book Summary:In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it's hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.”This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ's mission and work.Books:A(Typical) Woman: Free, Whole, and Called in ChristBread of Life: Savoring the All-Satisfying Goodness of Jesus through the Art of Bread MakingPodcast:Home Fires Podcast

What does it mean to take delight in the everyday duties of motherhood? Emily Jensen, co-founder of Risen Motherhood and co-author of the book of the same name, knows firsthand how challenging motherhood can be. A disordered view of motherhood would tell us that the sacrifice it takes isn't worth it and that we need to escape in order to recharge. Emily proposes instead that the mundane, self-sacrificial design of motherhood is actually where the beauty is found. Weariness is real, but motherhood is rewarding.

The dishes pile up. The kids run circles around the house. The to-do list is a mile long. Motherhood is full, but too often, we fill our time hunching over our phones, giving our best self to social media instead of looking up at the work in front of us. When we don't know where to begin, social media feels like a welcome distraction. But when our days are consumed by social media, we might miss the most important things. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss faithfulness in motherhood, examining the way it impacts our limited time and energy. When we give God first place in our hearts and steward the responsibilities before us, we can use social media as a tool rather than an escape.

In this special bonus episode, Emily and Laura provide four quick ways we can use social media redemptively.

As proud moms, most of us can't resist sharenting. (Yep, that term is real! If you haven't heard it before: it just means sharing pictures of our kids online.) Whether we have a small, private account for friends and family or share lifestyle content for thousands of eyes to see, let's at least ask the question—why are we posting this? What are the rewards? What are the risks? In this episode, Emily and Laura chat through questions to consider the ‘why' behind our sharenting. While the takeaway will look different for everyone, when the gospel guides our thinking, we'll share with love and wisdom.

Tilly and Abigail talk about Abigail's new book, Bread of Life. While each of them (by coincidence!) keep an eye on pumpkin bread baking a few rooms away, they discuss baking and the Christian walk, Jesus as the "what is it" manna, Eve spewing out the word of God in order to accept and digest the lies of the serpent, and four kinds of Bible reading women... this episode is a fun preview of a beautiful, practical, and beautifully written book about Jesus, the bread of life.

“Mom influencers.” How does that term hit? Some of us love them. Some of us roll our eyes at them. Sometimes we do both. But either way, we might not realize how influencers shape our motherhood—the pans we buy, the parenting methods we use, and the pacifiers we purchase. Whether you're on social media or not, you've been influenced! In this special live-recorded episode, Emily and Laura break down the topic of influence and mom-influencer culture, examining the good and the bad. If we're going to navigate motherhood in a digital age, we need Christ to be our greatest influence.

We are women, how then should we live? In this episode Jenna and Lydia interview Abigail M Dodds, author of "(A)Typical Woman." Dodds shares her wisdom and delight in the Lord as she speaks about the beauty of rooting ourselves in a Scriptural understanding of womanhood. She gives perspective on what it means to be a woman and how it should shape our lives. We also discuss various stereotypes, submission, envy, and vocation.

Abigail Dodds teaches on the beauty of God's good design regarding gender. Women, Dodds explains, are absolutely just as fearless as men, but their physical reality naturally makes them nurturers. If women are created to bear life, then what about single women? Though singles are excluded from childbearing, they aren't excluded from anything essential to God's kingdom. Hear how single women can be nurturers and life-givers in their homes and communities.

Abigail Dodds, author of "(A)Typical Woman," says that despite the culture's depiction of women as warriors, women's bodies were made to do something very different. To understand a woman's role, you have to study how a woman is made. Men have 50% more body strength than women. Women, on the other hand, are softer, and have the capacity to bear children. Dodds explains that just because a woman is created differently than a man doesn't make her inferior. A woman's fragility, like a crystal chandelier, only increases her value.

In this episode of the Held Podcast, I chatted with Abigail Dodds about the importance of developing a theology of suffering. We talked about what a theology of suffering is, how to develop one, and walked through some common thoughts and reactions to miscarriage that cause us to doubt God’s goodness in the face of our suffering. What we believe about God shapes our experience of suffering, I hope this episode will be a true help in helping you to reconcile your hard experience with a good and sovereign God. About Abigail: Abigail Dodds is wife to Tom and mom to five great kids. She is a Regular Contributor at Desiring God, the author of '(A)Typical Woman' (Crossway 2019), an M.A. student at Bethlehem College and Seminary, a baking enthusiast, garden fanatic, and mediocre knitter. She writes at hopeandstay.com and on instagram @abigail__dodds . Questions in this Episode: Would you start off by just telling us a bit about your own experience with miscarriage personally? Today’s episode is entitled “Developing a Theology of Suffering.” Can you explain for us what this means, and why it’s so important to have? I know that your miscarriage led to a much longer season of hardship. Can you tell us a bit about that and perhaps use that experience as an example to show us how what we believe about God and know about his word shapes our experience of suffering? How did that season challenge or shape what you believed about God? Or maybe how did what you believed about God impact your experience of that season of suffering? I received a message recently from a woman who has miscarried who said that that was the first time she had had to deal with “senseless suffering” personally… and by that she meant, a situation in which there was no one or nothing to blame but… well, God. The intensely personal experience of experiencing death within your own body can raise a lot of theological questions, it definitely did for me! Let’s think for a moment from the perspective of a listener who felt like they had a solid understanding of suffering but is suddenly feeling totally stumped by the problem of evil. If God is good, and in control, how can I reconcile the presence of evil, sickness, and death with his character?! What wisdom do you have for us here? What are some practical ways that we can develop a theology of suffering even in the midst of it? Maybe you could help us apply the truth to these real scenarios I have read online… a. “I feel like God is taunting me, pregnant women and big families everywhere, even at church…” b. I know God is trying to teach me something, but what is there left to learn? I mean really, four miscarriages?! Can we move on to another trial?! c. For a women for whom the process is taking forever or is having a season of suffering after loss that won’t let up… perhaps she’s saying “I’ve heard the expression “refiners fire” but I feel like I have been forgotten in the kiln, maybe God is punishing me for something.” d. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do! I waited until I was married to have sex, we were prayerful about when to start trying, we have served God and attended church and worked with the youth group! What more could he want from us?! How are these teen girls and drug addicts that don’t even want their kids getting pregnant when I’m not? e. “It’s been a week since they told me the baby’s heart had stopped. I’m still throwing up, still have this bad taste in my mouth, still so exhausted and having food aversions… The baby is dead, the least God could do is take away these symptoms!” Questions for every guest: What’s one way God has used your experience of miscarriage to work in your heart and life? If you could encourage a woman to meditate on or memorize any verse or short set of verses in this season, what would it be and why? Noteworthy Quotes: “When the miscarriage happened, I had all my theology ducks in a row. I knew what I believed about who God was— his goodness, his sovereignty— and I had all the boxes checked I knew were from his word. There was nothing lacking in that in a truly sinful or negative way. I had been well taught. And I believed what I was taught from the word. But as the scriptures talk about so often we are tested at times. And so what happens is those beliefs that are in one sense theoretical can’t remain theoretical anymore. And that’s what happened with my miscarriage was it was kind of that first ‘I’m an adult, something bad has happened’ that really impacted me personally.” “Theology is just our knowledge of God. And so a theology of Suffering would just be trying to understand what we know about God as it relates to our suffering. What does suffering mean when we believe certain things to be true about God’s character. Is there a way to reconcile suffering with what we believe about the character of God? And so those are usually the types of things people are trying to sort through and work through, hopefully biblically, when they talk about developing a theology of suffering: What do we believe about God in relation to our suffering? It’s often in regards to suffering that we can’t relate to our own sin.” “Adam sinned. Sin entered the world through the one man, Adam. So if you zoom out, if you step back, sin still is the cause in some ways of the evil and the sickness and the death that we see in the world. There is a futility, a groaning, that has worked itself into creation that we can say is the result of sin. Not our specific sin that led to this miscarriage, but sin in general. And I think that’s a helpful thing to realize and recognize. It’s helpful because it allows us to grieve, and it also allows us to hate sin as we ought to, even original sin that has now gotten into everything in a way.” “God is in control. We serve a sovereign God who is completely in control of everything that happens. And if I stopped at “Oh, sin cause what happened.” And if I didn’t move past that or join with it that “no, that was God’s plan. He planned it before the foundation of the world, he is sovereign over it,’ and as a Christian we get to add ‘And I know and trust that there is good in it.’ And the best place I can take us to see this is the cross. Here you have Jesus, Gods own son, who is receiving the greatest evil. And yet at the same time we can read in Isaiah that it was the will of God to crush him. I don’t know what to do with that. These are high thoughts. We don’t go around sort of glibbly trying to reconcile them or easily fit them together in a puzzle, but what we do is we stand back and we look at this all powerful God who planned that reality of the cross, the reality of the greatest ‘senseless’ suffering to ever happen to happen to his Son, who did no wrong who was never deserving of anything bad to happen to him, and he worked the greatest possible of all possible goods for it—for his people.” “What was really helpful to me was to be given very small bite sized pieces of truth that I could affirm and that weren’t too overwhelming.” “[We must] guard against making someone else’s blessing our trial.” “Certainly God is teaching us, there is no doubt about it that he is teaching us through our trials, but not in that kind of a transactional way where if we just do X then he’ll finally give us the thing we want. A Christian’s deepest want is him. And so, we don’t use God to get the thing we want, the thing we want is God. What’s potent is that he gives us himself in the trials.” “What is there left to learn? There’s left to learn the heart of God for you. [Even] if the trials don’t let up, he is for you in the trials!” “God is so much better than what you can use him for. He, himself, is the gift.” “We have a sense that there is a way things ought to be and when it doesn’t go that way we can feel the futility and even that is a sign of God’s purposes and plans because they will one day be as they ought.” “Go to the cross again and just keep looking to the proof, the absolutely irrefutable proof that God is for you. And the only way that you can keep reminding yourself of that reality, He’s for you, He’s for you, He’s for you, is looking at the cross because the scriptures tell us that this is love. Keep reminding yourself of what love actually is.” “He has used [miscarriage] to help me trust his goodness and his ways more.” Scripture References: The Book of Job Psalm 145 Romans 5 The Book of Ecclesiastes Psalm 131 Romans 8 Intro/ Outro Music: My Soul Will Wait (Psalm 62) [feat.

This week Abigail Dodds and I dug into the message “you are the hero of your story.” Abigail points women to the truth that our lives are lived fully when we worship what we’re meant to worship–Christ. The message we’re discussing today can quickly turn into a worship of self, and Abigail so kindly and gracefully directs us back to the truth.
Have you ever frozen as your child loudly asks why another child is in a wheelchair? Wondered how to check in with your friend after her child receives a difficult diagnosis? Felt unsure of how to encourage a mom who feels their child’s needs might be “too much” for the church to handle? In this special round table, Emily and Laura are joined by Abigail Dodds and Katie Blackburn to discuss what it’s like to raise a child with special needs and how others can show support. Whether you’re impacted directly or indirectly by the joys and challenges of this reality, we hope this show encourages and equips you to love moms who have children with special needs.

Is motherhood a woman’s highest calling? Is it marriage? Or does it depend on our gifts, interests, and circumstances? Purpose is an important topic. We want to know our God-given purpose because it impacts how we live in the here and now, and today matters for eternity. But here’s the truth we see in Scripture: we all have the same highest calling. We are all called to glorify God. But what does this look like? How does motherhood, marriage, singleness, careers, and other life circumstances fall under this same God-glorifying purpose?

Contrary to popular belief, most grief is not processed in a neat little package of five steps. Ron Deal and Abigail Dodds each talk with Michelle Hill about processing different kinds of grief. They maintain that all kinds of grief should be processed--and not avoided--in order to pass through it in a God-honoring way.

Bethlehem North Women's Ministry Kickoff ... our theme for the coming year is, “No Other Gospel,” based on Galatians 1:6–7. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. In this media-heavy age, we face a barrage of messages every day. Some are wholly and obviously untrue, but many more contain a confusing mix of truth and error. We have a crafty adversary constantly luring us with deceptively appealing and persuasive ideas, and the need for careful, biblical discernment is crucial. Pam Larson opened the evening, introducing Women's Ministry at the North Campus and also introduced our theme, "No Other Gospel." A panel of North women from across the generations discussed this theme, with Abigail Dodds as moderator, and four women from four generations on the panel, each offering her unique perspective on the issue: Adrien Segal Liz Stein Jenni Naselli Addalai Nowlin *Note: this was recorded from the audience, using a phone, so the quality is not great.
On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, we’re continuing our ten-part series living in light of redemption. Today we're chatting with Abigail Dodds about comparison and we're willing to bet her take on it will leave you with a lot to chew on. Abigail is a wife, mother of five, and graduate student at Bethlehem College and Seminary. She’s a regular contributor to Desiring God and the author of (A)Typical Woman: Free, Whole, and Called in Christ (2019).

On this episode of WWL, I'm chatting with Abigail Dodds about why we don't have it have it all, do it all, and be it all. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emma-koch/support
Abigail Dodds reflects on what the Bible really teaches about what it means to be a woman . . . and some of the ways we unintentionally degrade the full reality of womanhood.
In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” Abigail Dodds brings beautiful and freeing truth to us straight from God's word to us today regarding our being women created in the image of God. I love how she says THAT GOD created women is an essential part of the story He is telling about Himself. I was incredibly encouraged by Abigail and I know you will be too.

She contributes to desiringGod.org and blogs at her personal site, hopeandstay.com. Table of Contents for (A)Typical Woman: Introduction... The post What is a Christian Woman? An Interview with Abigail Dodds appeared first on CBMW.
In this episode, Bethany talks with writer and author Abigail Dodds about her excellent book (A)Typical Woman and what it means to be a courageous Christian woman. Abigail shares biblical definitions of woman, Christian, and discusses the identity we carry as believers in Jesus Christ. Abigail believes, as we do at Women Encouraged, that Christian women are truly called to live free and unashamedly, unembarrassed about God's word, and with hearts that love the standard God sets for us in Scripture.

What does it mean to be a Christian woman? On this episode of Daily Grace, we have the privilege of chatting with Abigail Dodds on what it means to be a gospel-centered woman. Abigail is a wife to Tom of 16 years, a stay-at-home mama to 5 kids, author of the newly released book (A)Typical Woman, a regular contributor at Desiring God, a seminary student, and an active participant in her women’s ministry at Bethlehem Baptist Church. She helps us differentiate what our culture defines as being a Christian woman and what God says in His Word about womanhood. She reminds us that the whole Bible equips us as Christian women, but there are passages in the Bible specifically for women and it’s for our good and God’s glory. We chat about a variety of topics, such as singleness, marriage, suffering, discipleship, submission, and the local church. We hope that this conversation will encourage you to embrace who God made you to be and help you “live out your calling as [a] free, authentic, indispensable member of Christ’s mission and work”.

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I’m doing something I’ve never done in the history of Journeywomen. I’m chatting with two guests at once! Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Holly Mackle and Caroline Saunders on the topic of humor and the gospel! Y'all, there are some episodes of Journeywomen that stand out to me, simply because they feel like a pep talk from your high school soccer coach before a big game, or something along those lines. This episode is one that really struck my heart in ways that I hope I’ll remember for a really long time. In it, Holly, Caroline and I talked about everything from the Biblical backing for humor and how it relates to the gospel, to practical encouragement for those of us, like myself, who tend to take ourselves a liiiiiitttttle too seriously. So you’ll know them a little better, Holly is the curator for the mom humor collaboration entitled Same Here, Sisterfriend which Caroline also contributed to. They’re both hilarious and I can assure you that you’ll want to be best friends by the end of this conversation.

Here is the outline for Ruth 4: 1) Boaz Sets the Stage 2) Boaz Strikes a Bargain 3) The People Prophesy 4) The LORD Gives A Redeemer We had three application points: 1- God does it all. He chooses. He plucks people out of Moab. He makes a people out of those of us who are not his people. That’s all of us in here. We are all Moabites, in one sense. We are far off from God, without hope. But God brings us near through the most peculiar circumstances. He redeems us, he gives us a new name, calling us daughter. He chooses to redeem a people and it looks, from a human standpoint, like he is getting a really bad deal with us. Just like it looked like Boaz should have reconsidered his options. But God he goes ahead makes us his bride, against all human wisdom. He makes the unlovable, lovely, by his beautifying love. God does it all. 2- God’s people act like God’s people. This may seem to contradict the first one. If God does it all, who cares how we act? Let’s not focus on Ruth or Boaz, let’s just focus on God. But part of focusing on Ruth and Boaz’s worthiness and honorableness is that it actually glorifies God. We get to see what it looks like when God is working in the life of his people and what obedience is like. They show us what it looks like to be Israelites on the inside. It doesn’t look like staying a Moabite. It doesn’t look like sin. It looks like honoring others and humble submission, and costly leadership. And so, if it’s true that God does it all and that God’s people act like God’s people, that means that God is at work in us causing us to work really hard. And we should praise God for that. We should praise God for God and we should praise God for Ruth and Boaz and Naomi. 3- God’s purposes for your story go way beyond your story. It was true of Ruth and Boaz and Naomi and it’s true of us. We are not in the upline of Jesus, but we know this: we are his downline. We are his descendants and heirs. We are born of him, the very children of God. We cannot know his purposes for our lives, but we must not live like they end when we die. We must be working for goals 1000, 10000 years from now. DO you have that in your flowchart of goals? What aroma do you want to pass down to your spiritual children? That aroma may far outlast the remembrance of your name. What godly, Christ-like, inheritance are you bequeathing to the people around you? Your children, your nieces and nephews, the kids in Sunday school, your neighbors, your co-workers, your friends? Remember God is faithful to a thousand generation of those who fear him. Who will come after you in the line of Jesus?
When I outlined chapter 2, I framed it around Boaz. Here are five points to observe about Boaz: 1) Boaz’s greeting 2) Boaz’s protection 3) Boaz’s provision 4) Boaz’s prayer 5) Boaz’s position What can we take away from this scene in Ruth 2? It’s a wonderful story. It’s a chapter where no one sins—at least not explicitly in the text! Did you notice that? I think that’s why it’s such a pleasure to read. Only good examples in chapter two. And that’s what I want us to consider—how different this chapter is from Gen. 3, not to mention Judges and so much of what we observe in the Bible and in our own lives. Contrast Boaz in Ruth 2, with Adam in Genesis 3. But don't stop there. The point of the story isn't that Boaz seems to be a lot better than Adam. The point is that Boaz is a pointer to the Better Adam: Jesus. And when we compare Boaz to Jesus, we see just how much better Jesus is than anyone else in history--even worthy Boaz.
On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I had a chance to chat with Ginger Ciminello about freedom! Ginger and I chat about what it looks like to walk in the freedom we have in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Listen to what she said, “The Gospel is Jesus plus nothing equals salvation. When Satan wants to put on heavy burdens of the consequences of our sin or of the law and saying you have these 613 commands that you have to follow or you are not enough, Jesus instead comes and says, ‘Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, learn from me, for I am humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’” I confessed to Ginger that it’s a real struggle for me to walk freely, but after this conversation paired with the past two episodes we released on rest with Abigail Dodds and on fear with Matt Lantz, I am finding myself more readily embracing the rest and freedom we have in the Gospel when my fear is rightly oriented on God which leads to a rightly oriented faith in Christ.

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I had the true joy of chatting with Abigail Dodds, someone I’ve admired from afar as I’ve read her articles for Desiring God and followed along with her life via Instagram. Abigail is married to Tom and mom of five kiddos ranging from age 14 to 4. She’s a part-time writer, part-time Bible study teacher, part-time homeschool teacher, part-time baker, gardener, and knitter. But she would tell you she’s a full-time Christian, a full-time wife and mom, full-time member her church, and full-time friend and sister in Christ. She’s also soon to be a student again, as she’s starting this fall at Bethlehem College and Seminary getting her Masters in exegesis and theology. Today we chatted about REST! Something that we, as believers, have already been given, but too often fail to actually rest IN. Here’s one of my favorite quotes, “Knowing Jesus means we get to know the Father. In knowing Jesus, we know rest.” Hearing Abigail, a busy mom of FIVE kiddos, communicate the true rest we have in the Gospel encouraged me deeply, especially in this busy season with little people. I can’t wait to share it with ya’ll!

In this episode, we look back on the examples of our mothers and their impacts on our lives. We recognize that each individual mother-child relationship is unique in their ups and downs, but we also recognize that God uses our mothers' strengths and weaknesses to teach us different and valuable lessons. By sharing these lessons we can grow in understanding of one another as sisters and as people. We hope you enjoy these stories as much as we did. Resources:The Amazing Calling of Being "Mom" by Trillia NewbellWhat Makes a Good Mom? by Abigail Dodds
Conrad Grebel is known as a “radical Reformer” — a leader who took the movement one step further by insisting on separating church from state.
In motherhood, sometimes unexpected and even grief-filled news about your child can change all of your hopes and dreams for the future. When her son Titus was flagged for having a small cerebellum at his 20-week ultrasound, Abigail Dodds and her husband began their God-appointed journey as parents to a child with special needs. In this episode, she shares wisdom, rooted in the truth of the gospel, about everything from facing fears of the future to facing the hard chaotic "I can't do this" moments of the present. Whether you are a mom to your own child with special needs, an Aunt or Grandparent of a child with special needs, or a woman hoping to come alongside a friend as a loving support -- this episode is for you! As you'll hear Abigail share, God's promises in Christ can provide true joy and encouragement in any circumstance.
