Katie Bennett, author of Heavenly-Minded Mom, shares what it means to mother in light of eternity and how that truth can transform our everyday lives. Connect with Katie: website // book // facebook // instagram// podcast Heart Lesson: God is holy and it is not ok for me to be unholy. He is holy so I must be holy. Scriptures Mentioned: John 6:68 Colossians 3:23 Hebrews 12:1-2 Galatians 1:10 2 Corinthians 12:9 Romans 12:1 Proverbs 9:10 We Mention: Shepherding A Child’s Heart Takeaway Truths: I felt God leading me to make my faith my choice. He called me to live the truth of an eternal reality and pursue the simple task of living for Him and obeying Him moment by moment. All of our meaningless tasks are given lasting meaning because when we work hard and heartily as unto the Lord, we will receive an eternal inheritance as a reward. It’s all passing away. Everything except how we loved, how we persevered, and how we faithfully accomplished the tasks that God laid out for us. Determine what is best for the kingdom of God and put that above your own wants and desires. What does it mean to throw off the things that hinder us so that we can pursue Christ with all we’ve got, running our race with perseverance? Allow your sense of overwhelm and need drive you to the cross and ask for help. Even if things don’t go how we expected, they went how God expected and knew it would happen. what is important is not the outcome, it is taking steps of obedience and trust in the midst of that situation. It is important to let my children in on how I think. Journal and Reflection Page: Katie Bennett – Journal and Reflection Page

Welcome to our first ever mini-series! In honor of the launch of my new book Heavenly Minded Mom, we will be spending the next two episodes looking at what it means to mother in light of eternity.

God is the source of all good things, and it’s critical that we pass this concept on to our children. Join me with my new friend, Katie Bennett as we spend our second podcast talking about living simply in light of eternity. It’s another way we can join in #becomingmomstrong ! Katie Bennett is the creator of the Embracing a Simpler Life blog and podcast, and the author of Heavenly Minded Mom, through each of which she encourages women stop loving the world and instead follow Jesus with everything they’ve got. She and her husband Mitch live outside of a small town in rural Missouri along with their three children. More About Heavenly Minded Mom: The lives of moms are all too often consumed with wearisome, empty striving. We work to keep up appearances, meet worldly standards, and find satisfaction in the offerings of this life such as success, admiration, and ease. However, God has set eternity in a mother’s heart, and deep inside, we long for more. In Heavenly Minded Mom, Katie Bennett beckons us into a new way of viewing our present reality by rising above the ordinary and routine to see a bigger plan and purpose for motherhood. This uplifting book offers moms the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, wrapped in the hope of the Gospel, and presented in bite-sized portions.  The 90 compelling meditations, scripture readings, and invitations to journal and reflect, will encourage us to reevaluate how we envision our lives and to claim a heavenly mindset towards our mothering tasks.  These inspirational readings will help us discover a new way of looking at our responsibilities as a mom through God’s eyes. Embrace a simpler life filled with God’s promises and love as you reflect on God’s powerful work as it has woven through your past and present in anticipation of its impact in the future and your spiritual legacy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/support

There is nothing, nothing in this world more purpose-saturated than love. 1 Corinthians 13 says it strongly, “If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:3, NIV) If we have the most consistent cleaning schedule, with our lawn always manicured, home-cooked meals every night, and well-groomed children, and if we show hospitality to others, but do it for a reason other than love, it is utterly meaningless. Because this world and all it holds is passing away. Pride and personal glory are as fleeting as the flowers of the field, here today and gone tomorrow. But love, love tips the scales. When we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and when we love our spouse, child, friend, neighbor and enemy with an outflow of HIs love in us and allow it to fuel our actions, the simplest of tasks becomes the most gloriously significant. Where there are beautiful homes, they will cease, where there the admiration of others, it will pass away, as one day very soon we stand before the judgement seat of Christ. And then, “these three remain, faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13) Yes, your life has deep-rooted, rich, and abundant purpose, should you chose to embrace it. Don’t wait! Join us as we talk about: How do we find the motivation to do the tasks we dislike? How do we make our lives count eternally, from the smallest breath to the grandest accomplishment? What does it mean to receive God’s love for us, to live out of that endless well, and to discover eternal meaning as a result? How do we create a resounding impact in the kingdom of God through our decisions, motivations and lives. Be encouraged to start living an eternally significant life of love right this very moment. Verses mentioned: 1 Corinthians 16:14, "Do everything in love." 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 "...If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Matthew 22:36-40 "...Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’..." John 13:1 "...Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them to full extent of his love." 1 John 3:16 "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters."
