Podcasts about on mother

On Mother's Day, a guest speaker reflects on lessons learned from his mother and from Scripture about serving others. He explains that Jesus modeled humble service, the New Testament commands believers to love one another 59 times, and the Book of Ruth shows how simple acts of service can lead to life-changing, long-term impact. The talk challenges the church to practice tangible, everyday service—praying, encouraging, and meeting needs—so the world can see Christ's love and be drawn to the gospel.

Need a breakdown of the recent ruling on nationwide mifepristone access at the Supreme Court? Imani Gandy, Executive Producer, Legal Content & Culture with Rewire News Group, co-host of podcast Boom! Lawyered and host of podcast B*tch Listen and Jessica Mason Pieklo, Executive Producer, Legal Content & Advocacy with Rewire News Group and co-host of podcast Boom! Lawyered have got you covered. In 2024, the state of Louisiana sued the Food and Drug Administration over a rule change from 2023 that allowed mifepristone to be prescribed and dispensed remotely. Previously, the agency had required the pill to be dispensed in-person at a clinic or other health facility. On May 1, 2026, the FDA's rule was temporarily blocked, restricting mifepristone access nationwide. Emergency petitions were filed with the Supreme Court the next day, and on May 4, the stay was applied to the block until May 11. On May 14th, the Supreme Court continued to allow patients to access mifepristone.On Mother's Day, a website for new and expectant mothers called moms.gov dropped, pushing pro-natalist, eugenicist propaganda.For more information, check out: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/2058-two-blocks-from-the-white-houseSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

The Sixth Sunday of EasterWhat if love isn't just something we feel, but something that shapes an entire community? On Mother's Day, Fr. John explores Jesus' command to “love one another,” the culture of grace created through relationships, and the quiet magnetism of communities rooted in compassion.

On Mother's Day in 1938, 4-year-old Marjorie West was picking wildflowers with her sister in the Allegheny Forest when she vanished. Within minutes, her family was searching. Within hours, hundreds of people were combing the woods. And within days, thousands of volunteers, law enforcement officers, and even the National Guard would join one of the largest searches Pennsylvania had ever seen. But despite the massive effort, no trace of Marjorie was ever found. Nearly 90 years later, her disappearance remains one of the most haunting missing child cases in American history. Was Marjorie lost in the forest? Was she taken? And how does a little girl vanish in broad daylight, surrounded by family, on what should have been a peaceful Mother's Day outing?

On Mother's Day, Pastor Keith teaches from 2 Timothy and Genesis, using plants and seeds as a illustration to show that God has created us to plant godly seeds in others.

On Mother's Day, Toran wrapped up our series, “Festivals: Jesus and the Feasts,” by walking through the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkoth) and the three lessons God wanted Israel to remember: that they were once wanderers fully dependent on Him, that He is not a distant God but a with-you God who protects and provides, and that one day He will bring full restoration. He reminded us that everything we have is not because of our own strength or success, but because God has faithfully provided for us every step of the way. The message pointed to Jesus in John 7, where He declares Himself the living water and the light of the world — the fulfillment of everything the festival represented. We were challenged to ask ourselves which response we have toward Jesus: do we truly recognize Him as Savior and trust Him fully, or are we still trying to rely on ourselves?__Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus? We would love to help you figure out what's next! Let us know at https://bit.ly/TLC-i-decided=============Stay Connected!=============Website: http://localchurchgr.orgLocal Church Facebook: http://facebook.com/localchurchgrLocal Church Instagram: http://instagram.com/localchurchgrWeekly Email Newsletter: https://bit.ly/trendingatTLCVisit & What to Expect: http://localchurchgr.org/expectEvents: http://my.localchurchgr.org/eventsIf you would like to support The Local Church GR's ministry and help us continue reaching people in the Grand Rapids area, click here: https://localchurchgr.org/giveNeed prayer? Please let us know! - https://localchurchgr.org/care

Sanctity of Life | Romans 5:6–8In this message, we look at the sanctity of human life through the authority of Scripture and the heart of the gospel.On Mother's Day, Wonder Church partnered with Love Life to pray, fast, give, and take practical steps toward creating a culture of love and life. This message addresses the difficult questions surrounding abortion, the value of the unborn, the responsibility of the Church, and the hope of the gospel for every person.Scripture teaches that God sees life in the womb as known, formed, valued, and purposed. From Jeremiah 1 to Psalm 139 to Luke 1, we see that unborn life is not hidden from God, forgotten by God, or less valuable to God. But this message does not stop at conviction. It also calls the Church to compassion, action, and care for mothers, fathers, children, orphans, and families in crisis.The heart of the message is Romans 5:6–8: while we were utterly helpless, Christ came for us. Just as the unborn are helpless, we were helpless in our sin. And just as life requires sacrifice, Jesus gave His life so that we could live.This is not only a message about life in the womb. It is a message about the gospel, the authority of Scripture, and the call of the Church to love both mother and child with truth, compassion, and courage.In this message: Why Christians build their worldview from Scripture, not culture  What the Bible teaches about life in the womb  How to think biblically about difficult and painful situations  Why caring for orphans, widows, and vulnerable families is part of the sanctity of life  How the gospel reveals God's heart for the helpless  Practical ways to respond through prayer, fasting, giving, and action Scripture: Romans 5:6–8 Message Title: Sanctity of Life Partner: Love Life Theme: Life, compassion, Scripture, and the gospel

What are we chasing that only God can give? On Mother's Day, Co-Interim Lead Pastor Angela Linz walks through the stories of Rachel and Leah to show how comparison, longing, and waiting can leave us empty, but Jesus alone brings the love and fullness our hearts are searching for.

On Mother's Day, May 10th, 2026, Fr. Joshua speaks to the moms of the parish, inviting them to reflect on the gift of their Vocation. In particular, the ways we are tempted to not see our Vocation as a gift from God, but rather as a burden, a reward, or a waste. From that place, Christ wants to bring renewal. The key to that renewal lies in the words of St. Peter "Beloved, sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts." A fruitful vocation starts with knowing that we are beloved of God, and then response, to put him first in our hearts. 

Join us for this week's sermon!Whether you're seeking hope, direction, or a deeper connection with God, this message is for you. Each week, we open God's Word together to find truth, encouragement, and strength for the journey.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Judy Dawson shares insights on the importance of building what God has given in our hands. She encourages us not to become the victim of the past tragedies, but to rise above them and create a safe environment where future generations can flourish.

Pastor Matthew shared how faith is passed down through generations—especially through mothers and the women in our lives. On Mother's Day, he reminded us that their love, courage, and witness shape our faith, and we're called to carry that legacy forward.

What if the blessing of God is not just something we receive, but something we learn to live under? This week in God Might, Alan speaks on Mother's Day about Mighty Blessing — living under the mighty hand of God. Through the prayer of Jabez and the blessing of Numbers 6, we are reminded that God's heart is not to leave us defined by pain, limitation, or fear, but to bring us into blessing, increase, favor, and peace. Jabez carried a name connected to sorrow, but he refused to let pain name his future. Instead, he cried out boldly to the God of Israel: "Oh, that You would bless me indeed." His prayer becomes an invitation for us too — to ask God for more, to make room for increase, and to trust that His hand empowers, sustains, guides, and guards us. On Mother's Day, this message reminds us that the blessing of God reaches beyond one moment or one generation. He brings increase, covers families, opens new places of growth, and invites us to trust Him in the stretching. Mighty Blessing is an invitation to pray boldly, live open-handed, and walk with confidence under the mighty hand of God.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Mike Haman walks through the stories of three moms found in the Bible to encourage us that we can trust God in all circumstances, no matter what.

On Mother's Day at Cherry Hills Community Church, guest speaker Jennifer Rothschild shared a powerful and personal message about the sufficiency of God's grace in every season of life. Teaching from 2 Corinthians 12, she reflected on her journey with blindness and reminded listeners that while God may not always remove our struggles, His grace is always enough to carry us through them. With honesty, humor, and encouragement, Jennifer spoke to anyone dealing with pain, disappointment, fear, or unanswered prayers, pointing them back to the strength and comfort found in Christ. She challenged the church to trust that God can use even our hardest moments for good and to rest in His faithfulness instead of trying to carry everything alone. This meaningful Mother's Day message offered hope, peace, and a reminder that God's grace is present in every weakness and every circumstance.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Brandon shared a powerful message titled “Fight to Live in the Favor of God.” We don't drift into God's favor, we fight for it. Not by striving in our own strength, but by choosing obedience, humility, and faith in every season of life. Favor isn't just something we receive, it's a life we protect and walk in daily.

What do moms want most for their kids? A Christ-centered community. On Mother's Day, Nikki Fossett teaches how to build godly friendships that last using wisdom from Proverbs.

On Mother's Day, Chad Kincer shows us that motherhood reflects the self-giving love of God by nurturing life, forming disciples, and pointing both mothers and the church to the sacrificial grace and sufficiency of Jesus Christ.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Benjamin talks about how God saw Hagar in Genesis and how He still sees each of us today in every circumstance.

Week 2 of Healthy Relationships focused on the power of intentional influence, honor, and grace within the family. On Mother’s Day, we celebrated the women who shape generations through faith, prayer, consistency, and love — while also recognizing that God can work through imperfect people to create lasting impact. Healthy relationships begin with healed hearts, and the greatest gift we can give our families is pointing them toward Jesus.

On Mother's Day, J.J. Seid reminds us all that Godly mothers are a pillar of a strong society, as he exhorts and encourages the women and mothers in the room to view and live motherhood as an incredibly act of stewardship.

On Mother's Day, churches across the world will celebrate mothers, honor women, and almost inevitably turn to Proverbs 31. But what if much of the way the church handles Mother's Day is deeply flawed?

Fr. Ken reflects on Jesus' promise to never leave us orphaned, reminding us that the Holy Spirit remains with us as a source of strength, unity, and hope. On Mother's Day, he honors mothers as living reflections of God's love—women who nurture faith, heal divisions, and quietly sustain families, the Church, and the parish community through sacrifice and prayer.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Luke preached from 1 Samuel about Hannah's desire for a child. He said that followers bring their: desires openly to their Master, offerings willingly to their Master, and praise cheerfully to their Master.

On Mother's Day, churches across the world will celebrate mothers, honor women, and almost inevitably turn to Proverbs 31. But what if much of the way the church handles Mother's Day is deeply flawed?

Send us Fan MailYou can love Jesus, serve hard, and still feel empty if you never slow down long enough to hear Him. On Mother's Day, we share moving stories from a missions trip to Iceland, where local churches unite, a women's conference opens doors, and several women respond to the gospel. One testimony comes from a 17-year-old who has carried anxiety and depression for years and describes what shifts when she finally makes her own decision to follow Jesus. It's a reminder that faith can't be borrowed, and peace is not just a personality trait, it's a gift from God.Then we get painfully practical about modern life: busyness is always available, and it can quietly crowd out prayer, Bible reading, church community, and the ability to hear God clearly. We build the message on Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God,” and we walk through Luke 10 with Mary and Martha. Martha opens the door for Jesus but gets distracted with serving, while Mary sits at His feet and chooses what cannot be taken away. The question lands close to home: have we invited Jesus in, yet missed Him by staying busy in the other room?We break “being still” into real steps you can practice: it's a choice, it requires intentional action, and it means relinquishing control. We also offer a clear invitation to salvation and practical next steps for anyone who wants to follow Jesus, get a Bible, and find a Bible-believing church.

On Mother's Day, Derek Chapin shows us that motherhood reflects the self-giving love of God by nurturing life, forming disciples, and pointing both mothers and the church to the sacrificial grace and sufficiency of Jesus Christ.

There is one moment in all of Scripture where God looks Moses in the eye and tells him exactly who He is. On Mother's Day, we're sitting in that moment — and discovering that the name God chose to reveal is more personal, more tender, and more powerful than we ever imagined. Listen in as homeschool mom, Bible teacher, and COG Elder Cher Dombowsky brings us an inspiring word from the Lord!

A few years ago, a stranger fell onto the train tracks in Minneapolis. Pastor Abbie remembers watching the moment unfold. Her friend looked away. She herself ran toward the train with her arms in the air, praying out loud. And then a few other people did the only thing that saved the life on the tracks. They jumped down.That story is the whole sermon in miniature.James is in chapter 2 today, and he is using language that does not leave room to nod and walk away. Faith without deeds is dead. Period. He is mirroring Jesus' sermon on the mount. Hearing is not enough. Agreement is not enough. Even sound doctrine is not enough. Faith has to move.The first thing James names is that ideas alone do not bring life. We can have a thousand good thoughts about loving our neighbor and still leave our neighbor hungry. The kingdom does not come through the right opinions. It comes through participation.And then James pivots, and Pastor Abbie pivots with him, to two people who could not be more different. Abraham, the father of the faith. Rahab, the prostitute. James names them both. Both acted. Both risked. Both ended up in the lineage of Jesus. The point is not their resume. The point is that they moved.On Mother's Day, that picture sharpens. Moms know what embodied faith looks like. If you are pregnant, you do not get to only think about giving birth. You labor. You stretch. You feel every minute of it. And new life comes through that labor.Mary said yes to that. The angel showed up, and she said, let it be to your will. She knew it would cost her. The scandal, the endurance, the body changing forever. She said yes anyway. Faith is not passive. It participates.Pastor Abbie's so-what is the line James writes plainly: it is by acts that people live, not ideas. Faith was never meant to sit in your head, leading to good thoughts and well wishes and the occasional prayer for someone. The life we long for is embodied. Which sometimes means choosing the burden. Which sometimes means being inconvenienced. Which sometimes means looking toward the suffering instead of away.The invitation today is this. Stop turning away from what is hard. Pray, then get down. Choose kingdom over comfort. Let one yes cost you something this week. And remember that the thing in your story you think disqualifies you is often the bridge God wants to use.Scripture References:James 2:14-26 (Faith without deeds is dead; Abraham and Rahab as examples of embodied faith)Matthew 5 (Sermon on the Mount; the call to do, not only hear)Luke 4:18-19 (The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; Jesus quoting Isaiah)Joshua 2 (Rahab hides the spies; risks her life for God's redemptive work)Matthew 16:25 (Whoever wants to save their life will lose it)Matthew 25:40 (Whatever you did for the least of these, you did unto me)Luke 1:38 (Mary's response: "Let it be to me according to your word")

On Mother's Day, Sheriff Labrador thought it would be a quiet day with phone calls and happy wishes… but Forestville had other plans, and suddenly it turned into a mystery he couldn't ignore!

On Mother's Day, Sheriff Labrador thought it would be a quiet day with phone calls and happy wishes… but Forestville had other plans, and suddenly it turned into a mystery he couldn't ignore!

On Mother's Day 2020, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew went out for a bike ride near her home in Salida, Colorado… and never came back. At first, it looked like a tragic accident, maybe even a mountain lion attack. But the deeper investigators dug, the stranger things became. A missing phone. A staged scene. A husband with a story that kept shifting. And digital evidence that told a very different version of events. Then came the secrets: an affair no one saw coming, a hidden recording device, and a timeline that unraveled everything. For years, the case seemed to stall, raising more questions than answers… until a bombshell development no one saw coming changed everything.

On Mother's Day of 2020, the Morphew family was without their matriarch, as 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew had seemingly vanished without a trace.

On Mother's Day weekend 2025, four friends set out to climb North Early Winters Spire in Washington's North Cascades, but a single rusted piton anchor failed during their descent, sending all four climbers plummeting 500 to 700 feet down the mountain. Three men died instantly from the fall, while 38-year-old Anton Tselykh miraculously survived despite suffering a cracked skull, broken ribs, internal bleeding, and head trauma. What followed was one of the most remarkable self-rescues in climbing history—and a mystery that even the U.S. Forest Service investigation couldn't explain: why did one man survive when three others didn't? 00:00 Introduction to Case Knives 00:25 Escape Ads with Patreon 00:59 Welcome to Crux True Survival Stories 01:34 Anton Tselykh's Nightmare Begins 03:15 The North Cascades: A Treacherous Terrain 05:38 Meet the Climbing Team 08:22 The Climb and the Descent 14:11 The Fatal Decision 19:01 The Climbers' Final Descent 20:03 The Fall and Its Immediate Aftermath 22:38 Anton's Struggle for Survival 25:07 The Rescue and Recovery Efforts 30:00 The Investigation and Findings 33:45 Lessons Learned and Final Thoughts Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References U.S. Forest Service Climbing Accident Report - North Early Winters Spire, Early Winters Couloir https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/kxly.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/8/44/844567ae-de1f-463b-9ba0-3c157259fb33/6848c7bac1406.pdf.pdf Okanogan County Sheriff's Office - Official Statements Methow Valley News - "Surviving climber shares harrowing account of fall" https://methowvalleynews.com/2025/05/22/surviving-climber-shares-harrowing-account-of-fall/ Spokesman-Review - "Report offers details on North Cascades climbing accident" https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/jun/10/report-offers-details-on-north-cascades-climbing-a/ CBS News - "Climber who survived fall that killed 3 friends was unconscious for hours, awoke in dark before seeking help" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/surviving-climber-fall-killed-3-unconscious-awoke-dark-calling-help/ CBS News - "Dramatic details emerge after climber survives 400-foot fall that killed 3 friends in Washington state" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/triple-fatal-climbing-fall-washington-state-survivor-details/ Seattle Times/Spokesman-Review - "What we know about the North Cascades climbing accident that killed three" https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/may/14/what-we-know-about-the-north-cascades-climbing-acc/ KOMO News - "Seattle climber recounts survival after 400-foot fall in North Cascades accident" https://komonews.com/news/local/400-foot-fall-north-cascades-deadly-incident-accident-okanogan-couny-satisfactory-condition-cristine-woodworth-tragedy-anchor-piton-failure-washington-state-40-miles-april-22 NCW Life - "Report: Piton failure sent mountaineers to their deaths" https://www.ncwlife.com/news/report-piton-failure-sent-mountaineers-to-their-deaths/article_2c279af4-37d7-41bd-8fce-36d90492bd23.html Your Source One - "Report: Missteps Caused Fatal Climb Fall in Okanogan County" https://www.yoursourceone.com/columbia_basin/report-series-of-missteps-led-to-deadly-north-cascades-climbing-fall-in-okanogan-county/article_f14ed12f-3b01-4a04-89b6-16a68de5529a.html KXLY News - "Report details what went wrong in accident that killed three climbers in the Washington Cascades" Fluke Corporation - Official Statement on Vishnu Irigireddy Facebook/GoFundMe - Olga Martynenko's Statements Okanogan County Search and Rescue (OCSAR) Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Mother's Day 1985, a call came into the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department that neighbors had not seen a mother of three, nor her three children in days. When they had gone to check on the welfare of the family, they could hear the youngest of the daughters crying. When they had looked through her window, they saw the toddler alone, wailing, desperately seeking comfort. A deputy came to respond to the distressing call, but it would not be the condition of the poor child that would shock the city of Fayetteville, it would be the horrors that lay beyond her room.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Jeff emphasizes the significant role of mothers in God's design and their influence in shaping the next generation. He highlights how mothers model the Gospel and have the unique ability to disciple their children in a way that is profoundly impactful. Despite a culture that often overlooks their contributions, God sees and values the work of mothers, and their faithful service can change the course of families and communities. Ultimately, the message champions motherhood as a noble calling and encourages both mothers and the wider community to recognize and support this vital role. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub
