Many years ago, Stacey Thacker introduced me to her friend, Angie Elkins, who is an amazing woman of God and Manager of the Lifeway Podcast Network. I've had the privilege eating chips and dip with her once or twice, and so as Stacey and I were thinking about who we could invite to interview US, and help officially introduce you to our newest books, Praying for Teen Girls (by Stacey) and Praying for Teen Boys (by me, Brooke), we just couldn't think of anyone better! Thankfully, she agreed! When you tune into the podcast today, you can hear Angie ask us questions we haven't been asked before about these books (and our prayer lives), like: * What is something about your prayer life that people would be surprised to know? * What is the connection between our desperation as moms and having a vibrant prayer life? * What is the REAL reason we have chosen to be women of prayer? * How does it help my teenager for me to be a praying mom? * What do we do with the fear that comes when we're parenting teens? ...and more! This episode is real, and raw, and a true behind-the-scenes look at our own personal prayer lives and why we are so passionate about the message of these books.

The teen years are an emotional roller coaster in your daughter's life. She still needs you . . . but sometimes you honestly don't know what to do. Navigating these complicated teen years with her own four daughters, Stacey Thacker, author of Praying for Teen Girls: Partner with God for the Heart of Your Daughter, offers wisdom and practical help from the trenches. Stacey admits, “If you feel like an unlikely prayer warrior when it comes to praying for your teen girl, please know that I still struggle with the term. I’m seeing God use me, and getting used to the idea that just like in the Bible, God can use people like me. I think He delights in doing so. In the process He is transforming me as He grows my faith and makes me more like His Son.” We need to understand that when we honestly pray for our girls to be strong, sometimes God perfects his strength in them when they come to the end of themselves. We may not want to, but we must get out of the way and pray that very prayer. As we pray for our teen girl, we need to be bold enough to pray that her first friendship will be Jesus. That she will define her life by His unconditional love for her, model her life after his, and look for friends who point her to Him every step of the way. Lastly, our teen girls want to be prayed for every single day. They want you to be bold enough to ask Jesus for a favor on their behalf. They want to believe prayer works. And more than anything, we want to pray, “Lord, light her path,” so that she will take the next right step no matter what.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A prayer based on Ecclesiastes 7:11-12. My daughter and I drove by Dinah's place of business one Tuesday night and there was a line out the door. “Tuesday must be half price night,” she said, with a slight laugh in her voice. The people in line were seekers. They wanted something they believed Dinah could give them. Ultimately they wanted a short cut to wisdom. Dinah's sign says, “psychic readings.” My daughter and I both know shortcuts will not lead to true wisdom. The wisdom we were made to hunger for has a name and a Giver and they are not found at Dinah's doorstep. Have you ever sought a shortcut to wisdom? How can you seek the wisdom giver today? What action might God be asking you to take with the wisdom he gives? Listen to today's podcast episode from Stacey Thacker. Would you like to have today's episode in written form?

Prayer is relationship with God. But prayer is also a way we can fight battles. Years ago, God showed me that I had been fighting against my sons. I wanted to be on their team...and I wanted them to know and feel like we were on the same team. God showed me that praying for them was literal war on their behalf. Somehow, God uses our prayers to further His will, so praying for our children, for those we love, is fighting FOR them instead of against them. This is still one of the most powerful lessons God ever taught me, and I continue to believe that my prayers for my children have and will shape their lives because God asked me to do it. The answers to those prayers, may not always look the way I envisioned, but I believe God isn't finished. My prayers my even outlive me, and that gives me great peace. If we have any hope of the kind of peace that outlives and outlasts the hard things in life, we have to learn to talk to our Savior.

So often, the reason we lack peace in our lives...the kind that stays with us through the best of times and the very worst of times, is because we haven't built a firm foundation. And no matter how many times I hear people say, "please don't tell me I need to spend time in God's Word...I don't need another item on my to-do list..." the reality is that there's only one way to build a strong relationship with God...and that's through the reading of, study of, and praying through God's Word. It requires time to to understand and know God's Word. It requires even more time to know it to the point that when the storms hit, our reflex is to turn TOWARD it, not away from it.

Most women allow their challenges to keep them from pressing in to Jesus. Many of us...maybe most of us...myself included...tend to take our eyes off of Jesus just when we need to focus in on Jesus the most. When the storms are raging around us, we need to press in to the truths of God's Word, the character of God, the promises of God that are all fulfilled in His Son, Jesus. Quite literally, we lose our peace, and start to sink in stress and anxiety, because we take our eyes off of the Master. Join me and Stacey Thacker on the Million Praying Moms podcast as we unpack reason #2 that believers experience a lack of peace...having an undisciplined mind.

You know what doesn't work? NEVER works? Trying to stuffing a worldly definition of peace into a biblical one. Looking to the world to define what peace is, or what it should feel like will always lead to a lack of true, biblical peace. It just doesn't work. And it's reason #1 why believers, those who have been promised the peace of God Himself, don't live in a state of peace more often. In today's episode, Stacey Thacker and I are diving into a new series that spans our entire month called Start with Peace. You aren't going to want to miss this series, friends. Tune in now as we dig in to root #1. LINKS: Show Notes Take the Start with Peace Challenge! Order Everyday Prayers for Peace About Million Praying Moms
God rarely, if ever, gives us glimpses of what will be. Sometimes we don't even get to see why He asked us to do something until after the fact. You and I might live without knowing the purpose of our obedience, but we can have faith in the God Who, from the beginning has known the end. We can choose to have faith that He's good and that His plans for us are good, even if they don't look or feel good in the moment. Choosing to have faith in God's bigger plan is the substance and heartbeat of a mature prayer life, really, a mature life.

Do feel "fine?" Maybe you think you are but deep down you feel as though you are holding on by a thread. Today on the show I am chatting with a friend, mentor and fellow Mom Stacey Thacker. Stacey is an author, speaker, hope giver and she's a believer! Not just in the Lord, but Stacey believes in others, and she has the gift of encouraging others to walk through the weary and to believe in what God has called you to do. Stacey and I talk about removing the mask of "fine." We visit where the root of our masks come from and as Stacey says, "don't be fooled most masks have a BFF" I hope you are as encouraged by this episode as I was in the interview as Stacey points us to where our hope comes from, HE will not slumber and grow weary.

Why does it feel like God hears everyone but me? About 11 years ago, my husband and I lost our third baby to miscarriage. At the time, all of the women in my small group were expecting, and while we all live in different places now, there are three little boys who spent their childhoods being the best of friends from that group. There would have been 4. One day in church, some months after our miscarriage, I sat surrounded by babies. Some were newborns, others-yet-to-be-borns, but none of them were mine. I closed my eyes to drown out the sights and began to wonder why it sometimes felt like God heard everyone's prayers but mine...

How do I know if my prayers are selfish? I think one of the most profound truths God showed me in the midst of the craziness that was 2020 was the difference between praying for MY kingdom to come, and His. This is the discussion Stacey Thacker and I are having on today's show. We're talking about the difference between the ME gospel and the True gospel, and I'm sharing the #1 way I know I'm moving into selfish prayers. Tune in to today's 20-minute podcast episode to hear me share what God taught me as I studied the Lord's Prayer in the middle of the Pandemic two years ago.

At some point in parenting, I think we all feel weary, worn out, and yes…at the end of our rope! (Some of us have felt that way for very long seasons!) Ten years ago Stacey Thacker and Brooke McGlothlin wrote a book to encourage moms who were feeling that way. (It was called, “Hope for the Weary Mom.”) Because of the great response to that book, their publisher asked them to update the book and re-release it under a new name: Unraveled: Hope for the Mom at the End of Her Rope. In today's interview, Stacey shares some snippets of that story and what God has taught her about pressure and perfectionism, weary seasons, and more. Stacey's heart is to share the message that the source of a mom's hope, in the midst of weariness and overwhelm, is Jesus, and only Jesus. How does this work out practically? That's what we talk about in this interview! I hope you are encouraged and end this episode feeling all kinds of HOPE!
