Episode 026 Pregnancy during the Pandemic with Heidi Snyder

Ministry+Motherhood's Lauren Apple shares how to move beyond your fears on the podcast. This conversation was recorded a while ago but the points are timeless and spot on! I hope you leave this feeling uplifted and ready to push past your own fears that limit us from moving daily in the calling God has for us.

Share with a friend who could use a good reminder that, with God all things are possible!

Laura gives mamas great tips on how to get your household running smoothly with your kids working with  you not against you. Check out her mama systems, and enjoy a fresh perspective on how God can help you lead your family spiritually and with connectedness no matter how big or small the family!

Buckle up for some solid truth! I loved having this conversation with Chelsey. 

She is an author, mama, and fellow podcaster, and she joined me on the GNM podcast to take a deep dive into discernment as Christians, holding our leaders accountable, and being the watchmen of our homes. It was refreshing and eye-opening at the same time. I hope you'll grow from this conversation steeped in truth, and that you'll share it with a friend!

You're in the thick of motherhood so how are you supposed to read the Bible everyday? These mamas and insta-sisters share their mission to help women get in God's Word daily. Listen to them share about how they make it happen with toddler kids and newborns and how they want to help you too!

I know you will be as encouraged as I was to hear their passion for the Lord and His Word. Women everywhere need this type of community and support. And it's online! So if you don't have a plan and are floundering with how to make it all happen - check these ladies out!

NEW Monthly Community "Faith-Building Families" starts 4/4 - helping mamas grow their faith and families closer to Jesus by training your children in the Word and helping them memorize Scripture. 

Next up is the New Testament book of Colossians. Another book written by Paul - it's only 4 chapters long. In this short letter to the church at Colossae, Paul writes about:

-Thanksgiving and prayer
-Supremacy of the Son of God
-Paul's labor for the church
-Spiritual fullness in Christ
-Freedom from human rules
-Living as those made alive in Christ
-Instructions for Christian households
-Devoting yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Sharing a LIVE I did last week - a verse that I thought on, prayed on, and looked up additional commentary...

Have you ever mapped out a verse before? Are you getting in God's Word to hear what He is trying to tell you?

As mamas, it can often be the first thing that is overlooked when there are so many other things that need to be done. And before you know it, a heaviness starts to set in. I'm here to tell you that time with Jesus is not "a thing that needs to get done" it is THE thing that needs to get done. As in, numero uno! 

I hope this quick glimpse into my heart builds yours up as well :)

I'm cheering you on and always in your corner ❤️

If you're on this journey with me - reading the Bible in a year - or listening to the Bible in a year on this podcast, WELCOME!

This is one of Paul's most joyful messages despite his circumstances of being in prison. I hope you can pop your earbuds in and listen while you're on the go!

Sometimes to understand something we need to know what it is NOT. In this episode, I hope to clear up some common misconceptions related to boundaries in the life of a Christian.

If you wish you had guidance in knowing where you need boundaries in your life, how to set boundaries and stay committed to them then JOIN ME HERE! I'll guide you in my new mini-course called Boundaries for the Faith-filled Mama. It's 4 weeks that will help shape the rest of your 2022. You do not want to miss out!

Glad to be getting in the Word with you again this week! Ephesians is a short but powerful book of the Bible. It has only 6 chapters but covers topics of salvation is found in Christ alone, all believers being one body through Christ, and relationships between husband and wife, children and parents, slaves and masters. One of the most memorable parts in Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus is putting on the full armor of God, reminding us that our battles are not against flesh and blood but against powers of darkness.

Praise God He gives us EVERYTHING we need in Jesus!

Be sure to share this episode with a friend - I'm sure you know a mama who is fighting a battle right now. Let's put on the armor of God together and remind each other of God's truth.

Being of the female population, I think we all succumb to this at some point. People-pleasing. It's often easier to just agree and "keep the peace." But what about our peace?

As believers, we know that true peace comes from God. We often overlook the example Jesus set for us. Over and over the gospels tell how He removed Himself from the presence of others (the crowds and disciples) and got alone with God to pray. He was able to live His calling because He was focused on pleasing God, not man.

If you find that your sense of self worth or need for approval is often tangled up in how others view you, then this episode is for you.

If you just aren't comfortable telling someone "No" then this is for you.

If you need 2022 to be different than years past then this perspective shift is for you.
