God doesn't love you because of your talents or your skills. He doesn't scan humanity looking for people to add to His team because they possess some useful talent. He desires for everyone to come to Him not because of what they possess but because they're His creation and they lack the intimacy, freedom, and the life that He designed them for. As Pastor Ricky reminds us in today's message, to come to the Father you have to humble yourself and allow Him to save and equip you for any good work.
Throughout scripture, you can see a pattern in the way that God works. He doesn't look for the powerful, the rich, or the famous. It's not that He can't use those people, but as Pastor Ricky points out in the example of Jesus's mother Mary, God chose her because she was humble. She was a nobody and God loves to work with nobodys. When you acknowledge that you're incapable and incompetent on your own, it allows room for God to come in and work in a way that glorifies Him alone.

From advocating effectively for your child to rediscovering your own identity, this episode is packed with relatable scenarios and actionable tips to help you find balance. Remember, your child doesn't need a perfect mom—they need a happy, present one. Tune in to learn how to thrive on this unexpected parenting journey while still taking care of yourself.

What makes a good mom? What makes a great mom? When you think of a perfect mom, what do you think of? What makes you feel like you're doing it all right, or makes you feel put together? What makes you feel like enough? What makes you feel like you're doing enough? There is so much pressure to be a perfect mom. Many of us feel like no matter how hard we try, it's never enough. The guilt of not spending more time with our kids. The thought “my child deserves better” on repeat in our minds. Trying to hold it all together, keeping a smile on our face on the outside, but just feeling like a hot mess. Feeling ashamed if we're having a hard time keeping up with everything. If our home isn't as spotless as everyone else's seems to be. Beating ourselves up about anytime we lose our cool and aren't as calm & patient as we want to be with our kids. Wondering how other moms are managing it all so much better than us. Stretched thin in the juggling act, but feeling like you're failing in all of it. In survival mode trying to keep everyone alive. Feeling so guilty, because we're not as present & loving as we want to be for our kids. Worried we're not giving them enough, wishing we could do more for them. Today we're walking through 5 steps to help you identify and release the unrealistic standards of perfection that are keeping you stuck in vicious cycles of guilt, shame, overwhelm, & discouragement as a mom, and clarify EXACTLY where God is calling you to focus in this season, to be the mom you want to be.

You better hope that stain comes out, you doofus!” “Don't you dare talk to my mother that way you spoiled brat!” “I'll talk to your mother however I choose!” With my fists clenched I stepped towards Debbie. “What is going on here?”“They ruined my dress for tonight, Daddy! Fire her!” Mr. Langston looked at the dress that Mom held in her hand then at the milkshake in mine.“Mr. Langston, I can expl…” “Mrs. Pierce, I think it's time you left…for good.”Mom nodded and without another word, she exited the room and I followed closely on her heels.

Finding the humor in motherhood is tough. But laughter is the best medicine and it's the best way to get through the daily challenges and fires we put out as moms. Today's guests are the hilarious duo, Cat & Nat. With seven kids between the two of them, Cat & Nat know just how lonely and isolating motherhood can be. So, they set out on a mission to bring women and moms together.

It wasn't long after that when they decided to bring the conversation online in hopes of helping other moms feel less isolated. Their rapidly exploding community of like-minded moms tune in every day to watch them rewrite the paradigm of “the perfect mom.” Cat & Nat's rapidly-exploding community of like-minded moms tune in every day to watch them rewrite the paradigm of “the perfect mom.” With honesty and humor, Cat & Nat dismantle the unrealistic portrayals of motherhood that are often presented throughout social and traditional medias.

Do you struggle with feeling like you have to be the perfect mom, wife, house-keeper, and woman!? There are so many of us caught up in the lie of perfectionism and our current culture often adds fuel to the fire! As a recovering perfectionist myself, today I share 3 ways I have learned to shift my focus to help me release this impossible standard of perfectionism. When we allow perfectionism to have a voice it slows our progress, adds shame, and steals so much joy. I hope today helps you take a step out of perfection and towards the freedom of grace!
