Podcast appearances and mentions of christian moms

Financial coach Foluke Olayele reveals what managing money God's way actually looks like — and why it has everything to do with trust, not just budgets.

Ep 201: Why So Many Working Christian Moms Feel Far From God (And It's Probably Not Why You Think) Have you ever missed a few quiet times, had a chaotic work week, and quietly wondered… “Am I struggling spiritually?” As a working Christian mom, it can be easy to believe that feeling disconnected from God means you're failing in your faith. Maybe your Bible reading has been inconsistent. Your routines fell apart. Life feels loud with work deadlines, kids' schedules, laundry, emotional demands, and trying to keep up with everything on your plate. And somewhere along the way, you start wondering if you're “not doing enough” spiritually. But what if feeling far from God isn't actually about a lack of discipline, devotion, or love for Jesus? In today's episode, we're having a different conversation about faith, motherhood, spiritual growth, and what it looks like to pursue God in the middle of real life. We'll talk about: ✔️ Why many working Christian moms unintentionally measure spiritual health by productivity and performance ✔️ How our relationship with God can start looking like another checklist to manage ✔️ Why God's presence is not as fragile as we sometimes believe ✔️ What it means to practice awareness of God inside your everyday life ✔️ How different seasons may require different spiritual rhythms ✔️ A healthier question to ask when your routines no longer fit your current season If you've ever felt spiritually behind, guilty about inconsistent quiet time, or unsure how to stay connected to God while balancing work, motherhood, and faith — this episode is for you. Friend, God's closeness was never dependent on you getting your spiritual routine exactly right. He meets us in real life.   Loved this episode?

I've never shared this about autism symptoms!I've just uploaded this training session to the moms in my autism liberation program. IF you're wrestling with God AND symptoms like eloping, aggression, sleepless nights, nonverbal autism, stimming...you need to watch it, too.In my community, prayers for changed symptoms are answered every month (I'll share one of the most amazing case stories in the next episode. ) In this episode, I'm sharing why and how...I only realized this profound truth this week. For me it is a breakthrough for autism recovery.'The Bible has sacred information about your child, the symptoms, and how to deal with them. These verses reveal how to block healing and how to surrender to God's will. It's INSANELY FASCINATING. It's linked to neuroscience, your nervous system, Luke's Gospel, trauma healing, stress types, and emotional healing.Autism symptoms are supposed to bring you closer to God and reveal His plan. If we're focusing on the outcome, trying to get rid of symptoms, we're rebuking THE VERY CROSS that God is using to reveal HIS PLAN and HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW. This is HUGE. The disciples made similar mistakes when they rebuked the children, and Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me". Are you bringing your child to Jesus through the dark valley, and are you coming to Him as a child?You might also like: Final wake-up call for autism moms hereAND: AUTISM RECOVERY IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE here WANT TO START YOUR AUTISM LIBERATION JOURNEY?REDUCE YOUR CHILD'S SYMPTOMS Without the hamster wheel of diets, protocols, tests, and supplements.

In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Marissa sit down with Beth Guckenberger – co-founder of Back2Back Ministries, author, speaker, and mom – to talk about a parenting challenge many families face – helping kids process difficult, confusing, and sometimes complicated news. So how do parents talk honestly about hard things without overwhelming or frightening their kids? Drawing from her experience as a missionary, parent, and ministry leader, Beth shares practical, faith-filled wisdom for navigating tough conversations with confidence and compassion. Together, they discuss how to discern what to share (and what not to share), signs your child may be struggling even when they aren't saying much, simple ways to create safe spaces for emotional processing, and how families can remain rooted in hope when the world feels heavy. If you've ever wondered how to help your kids make sense of complicated news while pointing them back to God's truth, this conversation will equip and encourage you. -- BacktoBack Ministries Trauma Free World Resources Book: Presence Matters by Beth Guckenberger -- Question of the Week: When you hear something bad in the news or in your life, what questions pop into your head? -- Hosts: Amy Lowe and Marissa Ray Guest: Beth Guckenberger Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!

Motherhood is no small calling—and if you've ever felt the weight of it, you're not alone.  In this special Mother's Day week episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden bring encouragement, honesty, and a little holy boldness to the conversation. From late-night theological questions in pajamas to the everyday rhythms of meals, messes, and meaningful moments, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that motherhood is full-contact ministry—and none of it is wasted.  With her signature passion, Melissa sets the tone by reminding moms that shame has no place in the life of a believer. Drawing inspiration from Scripture, she paints a powerful picture of walls falling, voices rising, and freedom found in Christ. Because as mamas raising girls in today's world, there's no room for fear or silence—we are called to stand firm, speak truth, and walk in confidence.  In this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reflects on the sacred calling of motherhood and the daily dependence on God it requires. Through prayer, humility, and grace, moms are invited to partner with the Lord in shaping not just their daughters—but generations to come.  You'll also be reminded that motherhood was never meant to be done alone. God provides His presence, His strength, and His people to come alongside you—lifting your arms when you're weary and reminding you that you don't have to carry it all by yourself.  Whether you're in the thick of toddlerhood or navigating the young adult years, this episode is your invitation to take courage, lean into community, and trust that God is working in every faithful moment.  Because even on the hardest days, your King is still on the throne—and He is making all things new.    Two Things to Remember  Nothing is wasted with the Lord. Every prayer, every tear, and every faithful moment matters in God's greater story.   Take courage—Jesus wins in the end. Your hope is secure in the One who is making all things new.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode  Joshua 6:1–20   Proverbs 22:6   Revelation 21:5    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.  Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.    

Have you ever heard your kids start fighting in the other room and felt your whole body tense up before you even knew what happened? In this episode, I'm sharing a calm sibling conflict plan for Christian moms who want peace in the home but often feel pulled into the chaos too quickly. I talk about what it looks like in our own neurodivergent family, with ADHD, autism, auditory processing challenges, different sound thresholds, and my own adult-diagnosed ADHD in the mix. Sometimes the goal is not to force everyone through a fast apology. Sometimes the wiser move is to stop and separate, calm and listen, and repair later when hearts and brains are ready. If you have ever stepped into a sibling fight too hot, talked too long, corrected before you understood the whole story, or tried to rush reconciliation because you just wanted the arguing to stop, this episode will give you a simple, faith-filled way forward. This week's reminder: sometimes we have to slow down to speed up.

Your calling is supposed to shift. Your purpose never does. Misty shares the testimony that will free the Christian mom striving in the wrong season. Have you ever felt on fire for God — heart so full it needed somewhere to go — and then had Him redirect that fire somewhere you weren't expecting? Somewhere smaller, quieter, and far less visible than you had in mind?   In episode 99 of Mom2Mom Mentoring, I get honest about one of the most significant redirects of my life. In the mid-nineties, in the middle of a genuine community revival, I experienced an awakening to the love of God that lit me on fire. I was wired to build, to connect, to pour — and I was ready. But God's answer to my fire wasn't a platform. It was a kitchen table and four kids.   What followed was decades of faithfulness in unsexy, unglamorous, often invisible assignments — a homeschool co-op, teenagers at church, a children's ministry, people always around the table. And when the bottom fell out in 1998, and my marriage ended, I had to find her footing all over again. It was in that broken season that God gave me the longer vision: give it twenty years.   This episode is for the Christian mom who can't see evidence that her faithfulness is doing anything. The one asking God to show her He's working — and almost missing the answer because it comes in the form of a little boy quietly singing a worship song while playing with his toy cars on the floor.   In this episode: The difference between purpose (your why) and calling (your how) — and why your calling is supposed to keep shifting Why staying faithful in a hard, slow season costs something real — and why that's worth naming The exponential math God showed Misty about faithfulness in her own home What Isaiah 61:3 says about oaks of righteousness — and why some plantings take decades The harvest belongs to God, not to you — and why that is the most freeing truth you'll ever stand on A direct invitation to the BECOMING Cohort for women ready to stop striving and start living from purpose   Key Scripture Jeremiah 20:9 — His word like fire shut up in my bones Isaiah 55:8–9 — My thoughts are not your thoughts Isaiah 61:3 — Oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 — I planted, Apollos watered, God made it grow Philippians 1:6 — He who began a good work will complete it   Free Resource Grab the Rhythms of Renewal Mini-Guide — a free workbook walking you through rest, restoration, and relationship, with a Discovery Bible Study through Matthew 11:28–30.

In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Marissa sit down with author, speaker, and podcast host Tara Sun to talk about something every parent feels but rarely escapes—overwhelm. Between packed schedules, constant noise, and the pressure to “do it all,” finding peace can feel out of reach. Drawing from her book Overbooked and Overwhelmed, Tara shares her personal story of hitting a turning point that revealed just how disconnected she had become—from God, from her purpose, and even from the present moments of motherhood. With honesty and encouragement, she reminds parents that peace isn't found in perfect systems or better time management, but in a deeper awareness of God's presence in the middle of everyday chaos. Together, they explore what it looks like to shift your mindset, slow down internally (even when life doesn't), and reconnect with what truly matters. Tara offers practical, grace-filled strategies for navigating overstimulation, cultivating self-awareness, and breaking free from the cycle of constant busyness. If you're feeling stretched thin, mentally exhausted, or just longing for a little more calm in your parenting journey, this conversation will meet you right where you are—and point you toward lasting peace.

Do you ever feel like your mind is constantly busy… thinking about everything that needs to get done, everything you are responsible for, and everything that feels uncertain? In this first episode of a 5-part mini series on experiencing God's peace, we talk about how spending time in scripture helps calm anxious thoughts and renew your mind — even in full and busy seasons of life. If you are a Christian working mom who feels mentally overloaded, stretched thin, or constantly thinking about your to-do list, this episode will encourage you with simple, practical ways to experience God's peace through His Word. You do not need hours of quiet time to begin feeling more grounded and spiritually supported. Even a few minutes in scripture can begin shifting your thoughts from pressure to truth. Inside this episode, you will learn how God's Word helps quiet mental overwhelm and why regularly reading scripture can help you feel more peaceful, present, and aligned with what matters most. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why anxious thoughts often come from mental overload, not just circumstances • How scripture helps renew your mind and calm internal pressure • Why peace grows when truth becomes more familiar than stress • Simple ways to read scripture even when life feels busy • How God's Word reminds you that you are not carrying everything alone • Encouragement for Christian moms feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin Key Bible Verses Mentioned Isaiah 26:3 – Perfect peace comes when our minds rest on God Romans 12:2 – Renewing your mind through truth Psalm 119:105 – God's Word is a lamp to your feet John 14:27 – Jesus gives peace that is not dependent on circumstances Practical Ways to Experience God's Peace Through Scripture • Read one short passage each morning • Choose one verse to focus on throughout the week • Save a verse on your phone for encouragement during the day • Write scripture somewhere visible in your home • Return to the same passage when your mind feels overwhelmed Remember: peace is not created by how much scripture you read — peace grows as truth becomes familiar.

Kids experience a lot of emotions—and sometimes those feelings can change by the minute. As parents, it can be hard to know how to help our kids understand what they're feeling and express themselves in healthy ways.  In this episode we sit down with author, speaker, and family coach Dr. Josh Straub to talk about why emotional awareness matters and how parents can create space for meaningful conversations about feelings.

Hey Mama

In today's confusing and fast‑moving culture, discernment is no longer optional for Christian moms. In this episode of Legacy, Tina and Britt have an honest, relatable conversation about discerning deception in our world and why spiritual lies often look harmless, friendly, and familiar.From everyday cultural influences to subtle distortions of truth, this episode explores how deception can quietly shape our thinking, values, and faith—often without us realizing it. Tina and Britt reflect on real‑life experiences and generational perspectives to help Christian moms recognize false narratives, test what they hear, and stay grounded in biblical truth. If you've ever felt unsettled by cultural messages, social influences, or “Christian‑sounding” ideas that don't quite align with Scripture, this episode will encourage you to slow down, seek wisdom, and walk in spiritual discernment. It's a timely reminder that protecting our hearts—and the hearts of our children—begins with knowing the truth and being alert to deception. This conversation is especially for Christian moms who want to leave a legacy of faith, clarity, and biblical conviction in a world that often blurs the line between truth and lies.Keywords:Christian moms, discerning deception, spiritual discernment, biblical truth, Christian parenting, faith and culture, deception in today's world, Christian motherhood, legacy parenting, walking in discernmentJoin us in the Zoom Room: https://RaisingKidsOnYourKnees.orgListen to the Raising Kids on Your Knees Podcast: https://RaisingKidsOnYourKnees.org/podcastFlying Arrow Productions

Hey Mama,  Have you ever wondered why you should make time for exercise? Some exercise for health, or to look a certain way, but have you ever considered exercising to manage your stress levels? Over the past few weeks we have been focusing on simple, stackable foundational habits that will help you prepare your body to better receive and manage stress. Exercise is one of the foundational habits you must incorporate to manage stress naturally. And, as Christian Moms, we are called to do everything for God's glory. (Colossians 3:17)  So, how can exercise glorify God? Listen in to today's episode as we re-visit part one of my interview with Certified Fitness Instructor, Certified Natural Health Practitioner, and Sister in Christ, Annemarie Dalton for expert insight.   For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Have you ever felt prompted to do something and immediately wondered… Is this God speaking? Or is this just my anxiety? As a working Christian mom balancing career, family, responsibility, and faith, it can feel incredibly difficult to tell the difference between the voice of the Holy Spirit and your own overthinking. You want to obey God. You don't want to miss Him. But anxiety can sound urgent, spiritual, and convincing. In this episode, we talk about how to discern whether what you're hearing is truly God's voice — or anxious thoughts fueled by pressure, exhaustion, or fear. If you struggle with: Overthinking decisions Feeling pressure to “get it right” Anxiety that sounds spiritual Decision fatigue as a Christian mom Fear of missing God's will This conversation will bring clarity and peace. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The key differences between God's voice and anxiety Why anxiety feels urgent — and God rarely does The difference between conviction and condemnation How to filter your thoughts through Scripture A simple 3-question discernment grid you can use in real time Why exhaustion makes spiritual clarity harder How to grow confident in hearing God without fear For the Working Christian Mom Who Feels Overwhelmed Discernment isn't about being perfect. It's about becoming familiar with God's character. When you learn to distinguish peace from panic, you move from reactive living to faith-led decisions. And that changes everything. If this episode encouraged you, share it with another Christian mom who wrestles with anxiety and wants to grow in hearing God's voice with clarity and confidence. You don't need more noise. You need alignment.  

From the pressure to “get it right” to the constant second-guessing, so many of us carry quiet questions in motherhood: Am I doing enough? Am I messing this up? Am I a good mom? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Sara and Marissa sit down with author and podcast host Hallie Dye to talk honestly about the weight moms carry—and the freedom found in surrendering that weight to the One who never fails. Hallie shares the heart behind her first book, You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails, and unpacks what it really means to be “a good mom” from a biblical perspective. Together, they discuss why our limitations are by design, how surrender reshapes the way we approach our roles, and how to navigate the tension between responsibility and trust in God. Whether you're in the thick of diapers and sleepless nights or navigating new challenges with older kids, this conversation is a gentle reminder: your worth was never meant to be measured by your performance. You are still a good mom. -- Meet our guest: Hallie Dye Book: You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails  Podcast: The Saltworks -- Question of the Week: What is something you enjoy and want me to keep doing as your mom/dad? -- Hosts: Sara Jones & Marissa Ray Guest: Hallie Dye Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!

Where do our kids learn what they're worth – and how do we guide them toward the truth that their value comes from God, not achievements or approval? Today, Amy and Marissa are joined by returning guest Margaret Sharpe to talk about how the question of worth shows up at every stage of childhood, from early elementary through high school.

What does it look like to raise children with faith, grace, and courage in a world full of fear and comparison?In this heartfelt conversation, Shelley Giglio sits down with DeAnza Duron—pastor, mother of seven, and grandmother to twenty-one—to talk about the power of grace in motherhood, the gift of trust in God's plan, and the daily choice to live in peace instead of fear.
