    Surrendered Motherhood: They were never ours!!!!

    Motherhood requires relinquishing from the verybeginning. We relinquish sleep. Time. Comfort. Control. Plans. Dreams. And eventually, even our hearts as our children grow and leave home. And as much as we relinquish, there is still this subtlethread of ownership that runs through motherhood. That our children belong to us. In this episode, Elise shares the message she gave onMother’s Day on what it means to truly surrender our children to the Lord through the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel. Because surrendered motherhood is not just about givingthings up. It is about settling ownership. Our children are not ours to control. They are entrusted to us by God to steward. This conversation dives into:• Why control keeps us anxious• How convenience quietly shapes our parenting• Why comfort can become an idol• How to teach our children discernment instead of dependence on us• What it practically looks like to parent with open hands Surrendered Motherhood is hard. A surrendered life is hard. But not surrendering to the Lord is a different kind of hard. Pick your hard.   ⁠⁠How to connect with Raising Rock: Learn more about ⁠Raising Rock⁠.

    Made to Magnify with Morgan Krueger | Christian Motherhood, Letting Go of Control, and Choosing Jesus Over Self

    Do you ever feel like your happiness depends on everything going your way? As moms, we are constantly managing schedules, meeting needs, and carrying the responsibilities of home and family. Without even realizing it, our peace can become tied to our expectations, our plans, and our desire for things to unfold the way we hoped. When that happens, our focus subtly shifts. Instead of magnifying Jesus, we begin magnifying our own needs, our frustrations, and our circumstances. In this episode of the Raising Rock Podcast, we are joined by author Morgan Krueger to discuss her new book, Made to Magnify: Choosing to Live for Jesus When Everything Tells You to Live for Yourself. Together, we talk about the daily battle between living for our own comfort and happiness and living for the glory of God. Morgan shares biblical encouragement for Christian moms who want to trust God more deeply, surrender control, and find lasting peace by fixing their eyes on Christ. If you have ever felt overwhelmed when life does not go according to plan, this conversation will remind you that true joy is not found in getting everything you want. It is found in making much of Jesus. You were not made to magnify yourself. You were made to magnify Him.

    It’s Not If… It’s When: Talking to Your Kids About Porn with Greta Eskridge

    Note for parents: This episode is intended for adults and is not appropriate to listen to with children in the room. This is one of those conversations you might wish you didn’t have to have… but you absolutely do. We’re joined by Greta Eskridge, author of It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn, to talk about a reality every parent is facing: it’s not if our kids will be exposed… it’s when. And it’s no longer just something “out there.” It’s showing up through apps, through friends, and through completely unexpected places. Gone are the days of thinking we can simply protect our kids by limiting access. So what do we do? In this conversation, we talk about when to start, what to actually say without fear or shame, and how to prepare our kids instead of only trying to protect them. We also walk through the subtle ways exposure is happening today and how we can raise kids who respond with truth and discernment.

    What Are You Really Saying About Your Kids?

    This week, we’re having a real conversation about something that can quietly shape our parenting more than we realize… pride. Not the obvious kind, but the subtle kind. The kind that shows up in our thoughts, in our reactions, and even in the way we talk about our kids. Because if we’re honest, a lot of our parenting isn’t just about our children. It’s about us. What people think. How it reflects on us. What it says about us. And without even realizing it, that can start to shape the words we speak over them. We might downplay their strengths. Highlight their struggles. Try to get ahead of judgment before it ever comes. But our kids are listening. And over time, those words don’t just pass by… they take root. And if there’s even a chance that our kids become what they hear us say about them, it’s worth asking—what are we actually speaking? ⁠⁠How to connect with Raising Rock: Learn more about ⁠Raising Rock⁠.

    Breaking the Wine Mom Myth

    We’re told it’s harmless. That it’s deserved. That motherhood is so hard, you need something to take the edge off. But what if that message is shaping more than we realize? In this conversation with Ericka Andersen, we talk about what it looks like to see alcohol differently. Not just sobriety, but a shift in perspective that changes everything. Because there are things we don’t always talk about. The moments you miss when you’re just a little buzzed. The subtle cues from your husband. The small, meaningful things your kids say and do. Even the quiet ways the Lord is speaking that are easy to overlook when your mind isn’t fully clear. And over time, something that started as a way to relax can quietly become something you feel like you need, shaping patterns in your mind and body. This episode isn’t about shame. It’s about awareness. It’s about asking honest questions. What would it look like to be fully present in motherhood, with clarity instead of coping? You may never think about alcohol the same way again. Listen to “Breaking the Wine Mom Myth” now.

    The Sins Women Are Most Vulnerable To

    Some of the most dangerous sins don’t look like sin. They’re subtle, respectable, and easy to excuse. In this conversation with Tilly Dillehay, we talk about the sins women are especially vulnerable to, the ones that quietly take root in the heart. Her book, My Dear Hemlock, is inspired by The Screwtape Letters, but written for the modern woman. It imagines a woman’s life being analyzed and targeted by a demon, exposing just how subtle and strategic deception can be. And that’s exactly what we unpack in this episode. We talk about envy that keeps us focused on what others have, lust that isn’t always physical but emotional and rooted in discontent, a quiet sense of superiority especially toward our husbands, and a desire to appear holy without actually wanting to be holy. We talk about how deception works, not by pulling us away all at once, but by slowly reshaping what we love. How easy it is to love the appearance of something, the appearance of goodness, the appearance of faith, while our hearts are being formed by something entirely different. And underneath all of it is this: most of our battles are invisible. But they are not small, and they are not neutral. This is a conversation about the heart, because that’s where the real battle is.

    When God Asks You to Walk Away: A Conversation with Blake Guichet

    I have followed Blake for years, and she was someone I consistently went to for her take on politics and what was happening in the world. So when her content suddenly shifted, I noticed immediately. The commentary was gone. In its place was motherhood, home, and a quieter kind of presence that felt different in the best way. I had to ask her why. Her answer honestly stopped me. Obedience. This conversation felt like sitting down with a friend I have known forever. We talk about what it looks like to walk away from something you are good at and known for because God is asking you to, and what it takes to actually trust Him when you do not have the full picture. Blake shares the heart behind that shift, what obedience has looked like in her real life, and how it has shaped her as a wife, a homeschool mom, and a content creator. We also get into being high capacity women, what happens when that capacity gets redirected, and some of the behind the scenes of creating content in a world that constantly pulls for more. This one is honest, grounding, and just really, really good. How to connect with Blake: Learn more about Blake.
