Bethany Kimsey welcomes you for a quick cup of coffee, some laughs and maybe a few tears as we talk about the realities of motherhood. As a mother of 8 children ranging in age from 5-21, Bethany has learned the freedom of applying gospel truths to the daily details with children. Together we will learn how to take spiritual truths into the micro and macro moments of motherhood. How do we make this fuzzy intersection of real life mothering and the gospel clearly defined for vision and confidence? Connection happens when we meet together in the real spaces-- the kitchen tables of life-- sharing stories of hope, truth, and grace. When God breaks through everything changes about our motherhood, and we can walk with confidence and purpose.

    Are You Trying to Do It All? with Dina Deleasa-Gonsar

    What if the life God is calling you to isn't about doing more—but being faithful with what He's already placed in front of you? In this episode, Bethany sits down with Dina Deleasa-Gonsar to talk about identity, motherhood, calling, and learning to recognize the significance of the everyday work God has given us. Dina shares her journey from school counselor to food television, cookbook author, wife, and mom—and how God has taught her that our worth and calling aren't measured by our productivity, platform, or ability to "do it all." Whether you're in the boardroom, the playroom, or standing at the kitchen sink, the place God has you today can be a meaningful mission field. Together, Bethany and Dina talk honestly about busyness, comparison, anxiety, changing seasons, and the pressure to make everything happen on our own. They explore what it looks like to keep returning to God's truth, trust His faithfulness, and recognize the small moments of joy that remind us He is present in the ordinary. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you don't have to "do it all" to live faithfullyHow to recognize and embrace the season God has you in right nowWhy comparison can distort the way you see your own callingHow to bring anxious thoughts and difficult emotions honestly before GodWhy mistakes and wrong decisions can still become opportunities for God to refine youHow to recognize the ordinary moments where God is already at workWhy everyday obedience can have a greater kingdom impact than you realize You don't have to manufacture a bigger calling or accomplish everything at once. Faithfulness begins with trusting God and stewarding what He's already placed in front of you. Release the pressure. Embrace your season. Be faithful today.

    What If You Don’t Have Time for a Quiet Time? with Chelsey DeMatteis

    What if growing closer to Jesus in motherhood isn't about finding more time—but inviting Him into the time you already have? In this episode, Bethany sits down with author Chelsey DeMatteis to talk about her book, Mercy in the Margin: 52 Devotions to Encounter Jesus in the Mix-Up, Mess-Up, and Marvelous Moments of Motherhood. Chelsey shares how motherhood taught her that meeting with God doesn't require a perfect quiet time, an uninterrupted schedule, or another thing added to your to-do list. God's mercy meets moms right in the middle of ordinary days—in rocking chairs, messy kitchens, overwhelming moments, and even the times when you feel like you're about to lose it. Together, Bethany and Chelsey discuss releasing the pressure to be the perfect mom, recognizing your limits, trusting God with your children's futures, and finding meaningful friendships that help hold you up when motherhood gets heavy. In this episode, you'll learn: How to find margin with God without adding another thing to your scheduleWhy God wants to meet you in both the mundane and messy moments of motherhoodHow to release guilt and shame when you reach your limitsWhy you don't have to carry the responsibility for your child's entire futureHow motherhood can teach you to recognize and trust God's voiceWhy meaningful friendships are essential when motherhood gets heavy You don't have to create more margin for God before He meets with you. His mercy is already present in the middle of your everyday life. Slow down. Receive His mercy. Walk with Jesus.

    What Do You Do When Your Child Is Afraid at Night? with Chloe Kimsey

    What if bedtime fears could become an opportunity to teach your child how to trust God? In this episode, Bethany sits down with her daughter-in-law Chloe to share the story behind Sleeping Fearless, a children's book created to help kids face fear, worry, and anxiety with the truth of God's Word. Born from Bethany's own experience helping her children through difficult bedtimes, Sleeping Fearless pairs common childhood fears with seven promises from Scripture. Bethany and Chloe discuss why the goal isn't to teach children never to feel afraid, but to give them biblical tools to bring their fears to Jesus and learn to trust Him. Together, they share the heart behind the book, the meaning woven throughout Chloe's illustrations, and practical ways parents can use Scripture and prayer to help their children rest in God's promises. In this episode, you'll learn: The story behind Sleeping Fearless and the Scripture pillowcase that inspired itWhy children don't need to "get over" fear—they need to learn what to do with itHow to help your child respond to worry and anxiety with God's WordPractical ways to teach children to pray ScriptureThe meaning behind the oak tree woven throughout Sleeping FearlessHow the book became the beginning of the Big Truths for Little Ears series You can't remove every fear your child will face, but you can teach them where to turn when fear comes.

    Are You Raising Good Kids—or Kids with Godly Character? with Elise Orozco

    Can ordinary moments shape extraordinary faith in your children? In this episode, Bethany sits down with Elise Orozco, founder of Raising Rock, to explore how parents can intentionally build biblical character in their children one conversation at a time. From playground conflicts and messy kitchens to cultural headlines and bedtime questions, Elise shares how God transformed her view of parenting after leaving a successful corporate career to become a stay-at-home mom. Together, Bethany and Elise unpack the framework that has become the heartbeat of Elise's family: Respect. Obedience. Courage. Kindness. Rather than focusing on behavior modification, they discuss how parents can shepherd their children's hearts, disciple them according to their unique personalities, and faithfully point them back to Jesus through life's everyday moments. In this episode, you'll learn: Why being present isn't enough—your presence needs intentionalityHow God used an unexpected hardship to completely redirect Elise's life and prioritiesA practical framework for teaching Respect, Obedience, Courage, and Kindness every dayWhy discipleship happens in the "in-between moments" more than the big onesHow to have biblical conversations about today's culture without parenting from fearWhy every child needs to be discipled according to how God uniquely designed themThe freedom of realizing that changing your child's heart is God's job—not yoursWhy prayer is still the greatest parenting strategy you'll ever haveEncouragement for moms who feel like it's too late to start God doesn't call parents to be perfect. He invites us to faithfully point our children to Jesus through the ordinary moments He places in front of us every day. Be present. Be intentional. Trust God with the results.

    Raising 8 Kids: What 27 Years Taught Us About Gospel-Centered Discipline and Grace with Troy Kimsey

    Can discipline become one of the greatest opportunities to share the gospel with your children? In this special episode, Bethany is joined by her husband, Troy Kimsey, for an honest conversation about how God transformed their approach to parenting. Rather than simply raising well-behaved children, they share how the Lord taught them to pursue something much deeper—a child's heart. Together, Bethany and Troy explore why discipline isn't about behavior modification but heart transformation. They discuss how seeing children through God's eyes changes the way we parent, why every child's unique personality is part of God's design, and how the gospel reshapes the way we respond to disobedience, strong wills, and everyday parenting challenges. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the goal of parenting is heart transformation—not behavior modificationHow discipline reveals what your child believes at the heart levelWhy your children are in process, not a productHow to see your child's unique personality through God's eyesPractical ways to use discipline as an opportunity to share the gospelWhy your identity—and your child's identity—is not based on performance God hasn't called you to manufacture perfect children. He's invited you to partner with Him as He shapes their hearts. Parent with grace. Speak life. Point them to Jesus.

    From Shame to Surrendered Identity: How God Heals the Lies Moms Believe with Tori Masters

In this powerful episode, Bethany sits down with author, speaker, and Bible teacher Tori Masters for an honest conversation about breaking free from shame, healing from past wounds, and discovering your true identity through the truth of God's Word. Drawing from her own testimony, Tori shares how hidden shame, fear, and a performance-driven faith kept her in bondage for years before God led her into lasting freedom.

In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between conviction and condemnationHow shame distorts your identity in ChristWhy motherhood often reveals hidden struggles in our heartsPractical steps to identify and replace lies with biblical truthHow God's redemption transforms your storyWhy lasting freedom comes through believing what God says about you You don't have to stay trapped in shame or strive to earn God's approval.

    427. You're Not Defined by Your Worst Mom Moments -- Beloved, Blessed & Rooted in Christ

    Welcome to the new season of the Warrior Mama Podcast — and welcome back to the kitchen table. This fall, we're talking about one thing: identity. Who you are in Christ, what that means for how you parent, and how to stop letting the enemy convince you that your worth as a mom is tied to your performance. In this season premiere, Bethany opens with a vision for what Warrior Motherhood is building — and dives straight into the first truth every mom needs to hear before anything else: You are beloved. You are blessed. Not because you've earned it, but because Jesus died for you. You'll hear the story of a three-year-old, a box of smashed pink Valentine's cookies, and a crumpled drawing of a frog on a lily pad — and why those moments look a lot more like our own hearts than we'd like to admit. Bethany walks through John 13:3, Ephesians 1:3, and Colossians 2 to show you that just like Jesus, you can move through motherhood knowing your identity, your calling, and your destination — unshaken by the storms, the opinions, and the hard days. When you understand who you are as God's daughter, discipline gets easier. The reactivity softens. You stop mothering from a place of fear and start mothering from a place of freedom. This season is going to be powerful. Let's get started. 🎟️ Be The Voice: Lifted — The Warrior Mama Podcast Tour Bethany is taking the Warrior Mama Podcast on the road — 8 cities this fall, 8 cities in spring.
