Podcasts about this mother

While we often say that Charles and Myrtle Fillmore were the cofounders of Unity, much more is often said about Charles than Myrtle. This Mother's Day, we will explore how Myrtle played a truly central and critical role in the Unity movement, and how her initial vision was the driving force that got it all started. Spiritual Life Center is an Interfaith, Unity community located in Sacramento, California for spiritual seekers and life explorers. We honor the many paths to God and support people of all faiths in learning and applying positive spiritual principles in their daily lives.

This Mother’s Day, Pastor Timothy Elder brings a powerful and heartfelt message titled “The Power of a Mother’s Praise and Prayer.” This sermon explores how the prayers, worship, faith, and perseverance of mothers can shape generations, shift atmospheres, and impact lives in ways beyond what we can see. Though centered around honoring mothers, this message speaks to everyone about the transforming power of praise, persistent prayer, and unwavering faith in God. Come expecting encouragement, conviction, healing, and a reminder that somebody’s prayers may be the reason you’re still standing today. www.kingdomrock.org

This Mother's Day looked different for me. I stayed quiet to make space for reflection… grieving the recent loss of our family matriarch while also holding space for my late mother and everything their love still represents in my life.

This Mother's Day message takes us into one of the most personal and powerful encounters in the Bible—Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4.A woman hiding from people.A life marked by shame, brokenness, and disappointment.A conversation that changes everything.In this teaching, we explore how Jesus breaks through cultural barriers, personal pain, religious confusion, and spiritual emptiness to offer something deeper than temporary satisfaction: living water.This message is for anyone who has: Felt unseen, stuck, or spiritually thirsty  Tried to satisfy deeper longings with temporary things  Wondered if their past disqualifies them from God's love  Needed hope that Jesus still changes lives today You'll discover: Why Jesus intentionally went through Samaria  What “living water” really means  How Jesus confronts sin with grace and truth  Why worship is about more than religion  How one encounter with Jesus transformed an entire community The woman came to the well expecting water. She left with a new identity, new purpose, and a story that pointed others to Jesus.Because a real encounter with Jesus never leaves us the same.For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

In this message from Colossians 1:24–29, we explore what it means for Jesus to be over our ministry. Paul describes ministry as costly, sacrificial, and exhausting, yet deeply joyful when it is surrendered to Christ and used for the good of others. This Mother's Day message reminds us that ministry is not just for pastors or missionaries; every Christian is called to help people move toward Jesus, and some of the most important ministry in the world happens at home. From spiritual maturity to stewarding our families well, this sermon challenges believers to prioritize what matters most and depend on Christ's strength in every season.5.10.26 - Message 9

This Mother's Day sermon from Luke 14:1-11 contrasts the pride and self-exaltation of the Pharisees with the humility Jesus teaches. Using the healing on the Sabbath and the parable of choosing seats at a wedding feast, the message warns that pride leads to destruction while humility brings honor. It calls believers to put others first — just as Jesus did on the cross — and make Him the center of their lives.

This Mother's Day, Erica Kight and Susan Barrow share honest, tender reflections on motherhood in different seasons of life. Erica testifies to God's restoration, the beauty of bringing heaven to earth in everyday assignments, and the invitation to “zoom out” when hard moments feel like the whole story. Susan shares about the sacred expansion of motherhood as children grow, parents age, and God transforms what can feel like loss into deeper love, wisdom, and spiritual motherhood.

This Mother's Day, we're learning what it means to establish a family of faith that lasts for generations. Pastor Aaron reminds us that faith is built intentionally, lived sincerely, and passed down through everyday moments. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, student, or someone believing for restoration in your family, this message will encourage you to trust God with the seeds you are planting. Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church. We pray this moves you closer to Christ and encourages you. For more life changing resources, visit us at www.weareradiant.com.

The King Has Come "Oh, The Places You'll Go" (Matthew 14:1-12) In Matthew 14:1-12, two men occupy the same passage but inhabit entirely different worlds. Herod Antipas sits on a throne, driven by lust, cowardice, and a fear that bounces him from one bad decision to the next. John the Baptist sits in a dungeon, yet speaks freely because his faith is anchored in Christ. Pastor Russell Howard traces the contrasting paths of unbelief and persevering faith, and calls listeners to examine what kind of belief they actually hold. There is a belief that stays in the head, knowing facts and even trembling at them, and there is the saving belief that repents and trusts Jesus as Lord. This Mother's Day teaching closes with a pastoral word to every mother: your influence is going somewhere, so guard it for the love of Christ and the good of the people in your home.

This Mother's Day, Trevor Hunt guides us through the story of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz in the Book of Ruth, revealing powerful pictures of redemption, courage, and obedience. Join us as we celebrate the faithfulness of God and the hope we have in our true Redeemer, Jesus.

This Mother's Day, we celebrate the women whose faith holds families together even when the promise seems impossible and the wait feels too long. In this message, we look at Sarah, the woman Scripture calls the Mother of Faith, and what her journey through barrenness, doubt, and breakthrough has to teach us about trusting God in the hardest seasons. Through her story we learn three powerful lessons: God's timing is perfect, your plan does not compare to His promise, and nothing is impossible for God. Wherever you are today, if God made you a promise, He will fulfill it.

This Mother's Day, we had the privilege of hearing from a dear friend of City Central, Shirlee Lamoureux. Through her powerful testimony, we see how there are moments in life when pain feels overwhelming. Some wounds are deep, formed in childhood, through abuse, rejection, abandonment, or loss. Yet even in those places, God sees, knows and heals. God is a Redeemer. He is the One who takes brokenness and brings healing, who takes sorrow and gives joy, who takes ashes and creates beauty.

This Mother's Day panel is a guided conversation through the different stages of motherhood, offering honest insight, encouragement, and practical wisdom from real-life experiences. Through thoughtful questions, each mom shares how faith, challenges, and relationships evolve over time. The goal is for every woman in the room to feel seen, supported, and reminded that God is present in every season of motherhood.To learn more about us, visit faithcenter.tv today!

What happens when a generation forgets the people who helped build the foundation they now stand on? In “They Forgot Joseph (A Prequel),” Lady Courtney Wright shares a powerful Word by examining the overlooked stories, sacrifices, and faithfulness behind the generations that shaped God's people. Drawing from Exodus 1:1–14, Genesis 29–30, and Proverbs 31, Lady Wright focuses on the often-forgotten women connected to the twelve tribes of Israel—especially Leah—and reveals how God sees, hears, vindicates, and rewards those who remain faithful even when overlooked, rejected, or misunderstood. Through the lens of motherhood, family struggle, and generational legacy, this message reminds believers that God never forgets the faithful, even when people do. This Mother's Day message is both deeply personal and prophetically timely, encouraging listeners to trust God's process, remain steadfast through hardship, and recognize the lasting impact of lives surrendered to Him.

What if the breakthrough your family needs isn't perfection, but rest?

This Mother's Day message explores the beauty and purpose of biblical womanhood in a culture that constantly pressures women to “do it all.” Through Scripture and the stories of women like Ruth, Mary, the Proverbs 31 woman, and the woman who touched Jesus' robe, we discover that true identity and worth are not found in performance, but in being rooted in God's image and living with courageous presence. Whether you're a woman seeking freedom from exhaustion or someone wanting to better support the women in your life, this message offers clarity, encouragement, and hope.

Are you letting God or someone else write your story? Life is a battle, but God will carry us through if we let Him.

Instruments of God's Grace Guest Speaker Steve Zarrilli Acts 9:36-42 Our world celebrates the loud. We chase after famous people on bright stages, quote authors and podcasters we've never met, and take on the agendas that shout the loudest. Yet something in us still longs for the quiet – the soft wind, the lapping waves, the songs of birds at dawn. Jesus celebrates that quiet place. He lifts up the humble and the lowly. He honors the unseen, the overlooked, and the ordinary. He Himself entered the world not with applause, but as a baby in a manger. This Mother's Day, join us as we explore how Jesus views humble, natural servanthood within His supernatural kingdom and discover what a life of gospel faithfulness truly looks like. 

A message to both men and women. It is time for a generation of Christ followers to arise and shine with courageous faith! In a world filled with compromise and darkness, God is calling His people to stand strong in righteousness, bold in conviction, and full of the Spirit.This Mother's Day, we reflected on women of faith like Lois and Eunice, whose sincere faith impacted the next generation for Jesus. Like them, women today are called to be victory bringers, women of courage, prayer, strength, and spiritual influence. Whether you are a mom, wife, daughter, or spiritual mother, God can use your life to help shape generations for His glory.Men, this is your calling as well. Rise up and lead with courage. Love, bless, and build your families.

Motherhood carries a weight that words can't always describe—a mix of deep joy, heavy grief, and everything in between. This Mother's Day, we hear directly from the hearts of three moms in our community as they share what they have learned about God through their unique journeys of motherhood. From navigating the heartbreak of loss to the long journey of adoption and the transition into raising adult children, these stories remind us that God's love is present in both our most beautiful and our most broken moments. Whether you are in the thick of the toddler years, the "weeding and pruning" of the teenage years, or a child of God looking for restoration, we hope these stories encourage you.

Throwing in the towel can feel justified in the moment, but that's what makes it dangerous. This Mother's Day we're talking about how to live as women who don't throw in the towel on what we want most for what we now!

Mother's Day is a moment to slow down and celebrate the woman in our life that have played a significant role as a mother. This Mother's Day we invite you to join us for a conversation about life and the importance of providing women and men a choice for hope in the moments when they feel hopeless. This Sunday we have a conversation around our partnership with Wilco Women's Center where lives are being transformed with hope and healing.

This Mother's Day, Pastor Kirt Anderson brought a message rooted in the often-overlooked story of Hagar, an Egyptian slave woman who encountered God in the wilderness not once, but twice. The message reminds us that God sees every person, regardless of their social standing, their circumstances, or the labels others place on them. Through Hagar's story and his own deeply personal memories of his mother, Pastor Kirt shows us that the love of a mother reflects something profound about the love of God.

This Sunday, we providentially come to Mark 16:1-8 on Mother's Day. This passage highlights the women devoted to Jesus who witnessed His death and burial and now discover the empty tomb—the greatest event in human history. After watching their Lord crucified and buried, these devoted women go to the tomb, undoubtedly in grief and hopelessness. Yet, their love for Jesus spurs them to honor Him in His burial. Their purpose is to anoint His body, so we know they did not expect a resurrection. The women even find themselves unable to do this smallest of acts. They have no one to move the stone and let them in the tomb. When they arrive at the tomb, however, they receive the good news that Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, has risen. Then the young man (who Matthew says is an angel) tells the women to declare this news to the “disciples and Peter.” Peter is singled out because the last time we saw him, he was weeping and broken, having denied Jesus three times. Now, it is clear that Jesus has not written Peter off despite his betrayal. This Mother's Day, Mark 16:1-8 shows us how the resurrection speaks directly into our lives, especially when hope feels lost, fear overwhelms, or failure looms large. Because Christ is risen, we can go to Jesus, trust His word fully, and follow Him even in our weakness and failure. I. When all hope is lost—go to Jesus anyway (v. 1-3). II. When the gospel is proclaimed—trust Jesus' word (v. 4-6). III. When fear and failure overwhelm—follow Jesus anyway (v. 7-8).

When life feels like it's falling apart, where do you turn? This Mother's Day message reminds us that Jesus came not with a sword, but with the hands of a healer.In Luke 8, we see two powerful stories intertwined: a woman who suffered for 12 years and a 12-year-old girl who had died. Both needed restoration beyond human ability. Jesus didn't just heal their bodies—He was reconstituting all of Israel, making whole what had been broken. Twelve tribes. Twelve years. Twelve apostles. Twelve baskets of leftovers. God's vision is never constricted by our circumstances.

This Mother's Day message celebrates the sacred calling of motherhood and the lasting impact of a mother's love, prayer, and faithfulness. Through scripture and personal stories, we are reminded that God values consistency over perfection and uses mothers in powerful ways to reflect His nurturing heart to their children and families.

This Mother's Day, we reflected on the story of Esther and the quiet strength, courage, and wisdom of women who faithfully trust God. Through the examples of Esther and Alberta Williams King, we were reminded that God uses humble courage and faithful lives to bring transformation for “such a time as this.” Thank you to every woman who reflects the love, strength, and grace of Christ each day.

Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how the most significant thing you'll ever do may not happen on a stage, in a boardroom, or online. This Mother's Day, we look at three women from Scripture: Hannah, Lois, and Eunice, whose quiet, costly decisions to orient their lives around the next generation echoed through history. Whether you're a mother, a father, a grandparent, or anyone who pours into the lives of children, this message is for you, because the decision to give yourself to the next generation is the decision that outlasts you. This episode of the Evangel Houghton podcast is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, May 10, 2026.

In a special Mother's Day takeover episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, the mics are handed over to two incredible moms—Kelsi and Rebecca—bringing a fresh, hilarious, and heartfelt perspective to the show fans know and love. This unique episode flips the script as the usual dad hosts step aside, proving once again that fandom and family go hand-in-hand… and that moms might just run the show better anyway. The episode kicks off with the signature Question of the Week: “What is something that mothers typically do much better than fathers?” What starts as a thoughtful discussion quickly evolves into a fun mix of honest insights, playful debate, and—unsurprisingly—a few proud wife moments as Kelsi and Rebecca take time to brag on their husbands. It's the perfect blend of humor and authenticity that sets the tone for the entire episode. With the roll of the dice guiding the journey, the hosts dive straight into a special twist on a fan-favorite segment: “Mommy, Tell Me A Story.” Here, the two moms share real-life parenting tales that are equal parts chaotic and relatable. With four sons between them, it's no surprise the conversation veers into an abundance of potty-training stories—because let's face it, parenting young boys comes with its own brand of unforgettable adventures. Next up, the dice decree it's time for “Bad Mom Jokes.” Kelsi kicks things off with some delightfully groan-worthy, mom-themed humor before Rebecca raises the stakes by pulling out a deck of joke cards, delivering punchlines that are as cringe-worthy as they are hilarious. It's the kind of segment that will have listeners laughing, groaning, and maybe even stealing a few jokes for themselves. The momentum continues with “What Are You Nerding Out About?” where the hosts let their fandom flags fly. Kelsi shares her fascination with Autopsy of a Fairytale by Nicole Scarano—a captivating blend of Disney nostalgia and true crime intrigue—while Rebecca dives into her passion for music, especially the energizing themes that fuel her Zumba classes. It's a reminder that no matter how busy life gets, there's always room to embrace what you love. As the dice roll on, the conversation shifts into the thoughtful “How Do I…?” segment. Here, Kelsi and Rebecca open up about the challenge many moms face: finding time for themselves without being overwhelmed by mom guilt. Their candid discussion offers practical insights, encouragement, and a much-needed reminder that self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. Finally, the episode wraps with the “Ministry of Mamas” segment, where the hosts react to a jaw-dropping Reddit story involving a messy divorce, a controversial mother-in-law, and a wedding ultimatum that puts family loyalty to the test. Kelsi and Rebecca break down the situation with humor, empathy, and just the right amount of sass, leaving listeners with plenty to think about. This Mother's Day special isn't just a fun twist—it's a celebration of motherhood, fandom, and the beautifully chaotic lives that connect them. Whether you're here for the laughs, the stories, or the relatable parenting moments, this episode is a perfect reminder to Find your FAMdom and embrace every part of the journey.

Moms spend so much of their time trying to understand and meet the needs of everyone around them, and yet so rarely does anyone stop to ask what's going on inside their hearts. This Mother's Day message is for every parent who's locked themselves in a bathroom just to cry, gripped the steering wheel after school drop-off, or laid awake wondering if they're getting it all wrong. That voice is real. But it's not the only voice. From Lamentations 3, we find a promise that cuts through all of it: that God's mercies are new every single morning, that He sees what no one else notices, forgives what you're most ashamed of, and that your identity is not your responsibility. You are not what you do. You are whose you are.

Midterm momentum is shifting. Following a high-stakes week of primary elections in Ohio, Indiana, and a pivotal special election in Michigan, the political landscape for this fall is coming into focus. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to analyze President Trump's influence on state redistricting fights, and the significance of Democratic overperformance in swing states. Plus, a preview of the president's high-stakes trip to China. Motherhood is a tough job and with technology and social media, it's made even more challenging. This Mother's Day weekend, however, we get to celebrate the resilience of the women raising the next generation. Sheryl Ziegler is a licensed clinical psychologist and author of books like “Mommy Burnout” and “The Crucial Years.” She joins the Rundown to explore the rising tide of parental burnout, the factors contributing to it, and tips to handle it. PLUS, commentary by Dr. Tyler Evans, Founder/CEO of Wellness Equity Alliance. PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mother's Day is here—and while it's a time to celebrate, many moms are quietly carrying more than anyone realizes.  In this special Mother's Day week episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden speak directly to the heart of the modern Christian mom—the one juggling the mental load, navigating loneliness, and wondering if she's the only one feeling overwhelmed.  With research showing that many mothers today feel more isolated than expected, this episode offers a refreshing and faith-filled reset. Because the truth is, mama—you were never meant to do this alone.  In this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay sheds light on the invisible weight moms carry every single day—from thousands of decisions to constant interruptions. And yet, even in the midst of it all, God's design for motherhood includes support, boundaries, and the freedom to ask for help.  Then, in a powerful and memorable turn, Melissa introduces the "We Do Not Care Congregation for Christian Mamas"—a bold, truth-filled reminder that it's time to put the enemy on notice. No more silent shame. No more comparison traps. No more carrying chaos alone. Instead, this episode calls moms back to a place of identity, peace, contentment, and community rooted in Christ.  You'll walk away encouraged to release unrealistic expectations, embrace God's provision, and lean into the people He's placed around you. Because when moms are supported, families flourish—and girls grow up seeing what it looks like to live with faith, freedom, and joy.  This Mother's Day, give yourself the gift of truth: you are seen, you are supported, and you are never alone.    Four Things to Remember:  We're not sitting in silent shame anymore. You are redeemed, renewed, and called to walk in freedom.   Chaos doesn't get the last word. God orders your steps and offers peace in the midst of the noise.   You already have what you need. Contentment grows when you trust God's provision over comparison.   Ask for help—without hesitation. From the Lord and from others—because motherhood was never meant to be done alone.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:  Romans 12:1–2   Isaiah 26:3   Psalm 23:1–3    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.

This week, Kate sits down with Caro Claire Burke, author of the hit debut novel Yesteryear, the trad wife time travel thriller that triggered a publishing bidding war, has already been optioned by Anne Hathaway, and is Good Morning America's April book club pick. They discuss a variety of topics within the book (with spoilers, FYI), including how you write an unreliable narrator whose worldview fundamentally opposes your own, the layers of performance that start with God and end with the algorithm, why Natalie is deserving of sympathy as both a victim and a bad person, the Ballerina Farm and Ruby Franke parallels, Caleb as a vacant vessel, why the twist ending had Kate pacing at 2 AM rethinking her life choices, and how the epilogue reframes everything. They also detour into Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the Taylor Frankie Paul of it all, plus sleepover discourse against Caro's will, how they both relate to Natalie's experience with being publicly perceived, and Caro's experience selling the book and film rights before the book was even finished. Spoilers throughout. Enjoy! Order Kate's NYT Bestselling book, One in a Millennial here! Text or leave a voicemail for Kate at 775-HEY-BETH!
