Every day, the world is telling our children what to believe and who to become. But the voice they need most is God’s. The next generation will build their lives on something. Let’s lead them to the one foundation that will never fail—Jesus Christ and the unchanging truth of God’s Word. GOD Says So™ is a mission-driven, Scripture-rooted podcast created to equip and encourage Christian moms to know God’s Word, grow in faith as they follow Jesus in everyday life, live by what God says, and pass His truth on to the children they love—so the next generation grows up rooted in Scripture. Hi, I’m Donna, founder of GOD Says So™ and host of the GOD Says So™ Podcast. In each short, encouraging episode, we’ll spend time in God’s Word, pray together, and I’ll share one practical way to follow Jesus and live out His truth in everyday family life. Because following Jesus isn’t only about what we know. It’s about allowing God’s Word to shape the way we think, speak, respond, pray, love, and live—and letting our children see what following Him looks like through our everyday lives. We are not here to follow culture. We’re here to follow Christ. And as we grow in faith and learn to live by what God says, we can intentionally pass His truth on—one Scripture, one prayer, one conversation, and one faithful step at a time. If you know a Christian mom who wants to grow in her faith, follow Jesus in everyday life, and help her children know God’s truth, would you share this podcast with her? Let’s do this together. By God’s grace, let’s raise a generation that knows God’s Word, follows Jesus, and lives by what God says—so one day, they can pass it on. All for His glory. Live by What God Says. Pass It On. ~ ~ ~ Follow GOD Says So™ on your favorite podcast app.  ~ ~ ~ Download Your Free Guide  7 Scriptures to Pray Over the Children You Love https://www.GODSaysSo.com/guide

    Prayer Changes Things: How Christian Moms Can Pray and Trust God

    Prayer changes things. 🙏 Not because prayer is a formula. Not because we can control the outcome. But because we are bringing what’s on our hearts to a God who hears us, knows us, and is able to do what we cannot. In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re looking at Matthew 21:22 (NKJV) Prayer is part of our everyday relationship with God—talking with Him, trusting Him, and bringing Him what’s on our hearts. And when Jesus tells us to pray believing, our faith isn’t in ourselves or our ability to create an outcome. Our faith is in God. In this episode, we’ll talk about: • What Jesus means when He tells us to pray believing • Why our faith is in God—not in our own ability to make something happen • How prayer can become part of a mom’s everyday life • Why we can bring God the ordinary moments as well as the hard ones • How our children learn about prayer by seeing us pray • One practical step to help you bring what’s on your heart to God today And if you love the reminder Prayer Changes Things, you can find 2 different designs in the GOD Says So™ SHOP. ~ ~ ~ 🛍️Visit GODSaysSo.com to explore the SHOP.  Check out our Scripture-inspired apparel and merch for women and kids. ~ ~ ~ Stay Rooted in Scripture.

    How to Practice Self-Control When You Want to React | Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control

    Your child is talking to you. Your phone dings. And almost without thinking, you reach for it. It seems like such a small moment—but what if that’s exactly where self-control begins? In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re finishing our Fruit of the Spirit series with self-control and looking at Proverbs 25:28 (NLT): “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.” Self-control isn’t simply about having more discipline, stronger willpower, or trying harder. It’s about allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us so that every impulse or reaction doesn’t automatically get to decide what we do next. In this episode, we’ll talk about: • What Proverbs 25:28 teaches us about self-control • Why self-control is more than willpower • How the Holy Spirit helps us pause before we react • What self-control can look like in very ordinary moments • Why our children don’t need a perfect mom—they need to see a mom who is following Jesus and growing • One simple prayer to use when you want to react immediately ~ ~ ~ 🛍️Visit GODSaysSo.com to explore the SHOP.  Check out our Scripture-inspired apparel and merch for women and kids. ~ ~ ~ Stay Rooted in Scripture.

    When Life Keeps Changing, What Can You Always Count On?

    What can you really count on when life keeps changing? Your children grow. Seasons shift. Plans change. Circumstances can change with one phone call. But Isaiah 40:8 gives us something steady to stand on: “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” — Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV) In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re talking about why God’s Word has to be the foundation we build our lives on—and what that looks like in everyday life when things feel uncertain. We’ll talk about: • Why changing circumstances do not change who God is • Why His Word remains true even when life feels uncertain • Why the GOD Says So™ Podcast exists • How GOD Says So™ Kids is helping pass God’s truth on to the next generation • The heart behind the GOD Says So™ SHOP • Why Scripture Behind the Designs matters • One practical question to ask when you don’t know what to do: “Lord, what does Your Word say?” And today is also an exciting day—the GOD Says So™ SHOP is officially open. Inside, you’ll find Scripture-inspired apparel and everyday products for women and kids, created to help you keep God’s Word close, live by what He says, and share His truth. ~ ~ ~ 🛍️ Visit GODSaysSo.com to explore the SHOP  Live by What God Says.

    How to Respond Gently When You're Frustrated With Your Child | Fruit of the Spirit: Gentleness

    You’ve asked your child to put their things in their backpack. Not once. Not twice. Three times. And now you’re standing by the door, and they’re still looking for that picture they absolutely have to bring with them. And you can feel it. Frustration is starting to rise. And maybe the words that are about to come out of your mouth are not exactly what you want them to be. So… what does gentleness look like in that moment? In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re continuing through the Fruit of the Spirit with gentleness. Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT). Biblical gentleness doesn’t mean weakness, avoiding correction, or never saying no. It means allowing the Holy Spirit to shape the way we respond so that frustration doesn’t automatically become harsh words or a sharp tone. We’ll talk about: • What biblical gentleness really means • What it can look like to respond differently when frustration rises • Why the Holy Spirit—not simply trying harder—is the One producing this fruit in us • One simple way to pause before you respond ~ ~ ~ And a friendly reminder—the GOD Says So™ SHOP officially opens Tuesday, September 29th with Scripture-inspired apparel and merch for women and kids. ~ ~ ~ Stay Rooted in Scripture.

    How to Stay Faithful in the Little Things When You’re Tired | Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness

    What does faithfulness look like in the little things—especially when you’re tired and don’t feel like following through? In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re continuing our Fruit of the Spirit series with faithfulness and looking at Luke 16:10 (NLT). Jesus teaches that faithfulness shows up in the way we handle what has already been placed in our care. Sometimes that looks like keeping your word. Sometimes it means continuing to pray, continuing to trust God, or taking the next step of obedience He has already placed in front of you. We’ll talk about: • What biblical faithfulness really means • Why God’s faithfulness comes first • How the Holy Spirit produces faithfulness in us • What faithfulness can look like in ordinary family life • Why being faithful in the little things matters • One simple question to pray today: “Lord, what are You asking me to be faithful with today?” You don’t have to find some great big thing to do for God. Start with what He has already placed in front of you. ~ ~ ~ And a friendly reminder: the GOD Says So™ SHOP opens its virtual doors Tuesday, September 29th, featuring Scripture-inspired apparel and accessories for women and kids. ~ ~ ~ Stay Rooted in Scripture.

    Choosing What’s Right When No One Is Watching | Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness

    You’re unloading your groceries when you realize something in your cart never got scanned. You could put it in the car and go home. So what does goodness look like in a moment like that? In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re continuing our series, The Fruit of the Spirit in Everyday Family Life, and looking at Ephesians 5:8–10 and what it means to walk as children of light. We’ll talk about: • Why goodness is more than simply being a “good person” • How the Holy Spirit produces a desire in us to choose what is good, right, and true • Why integrity can be one expression of goodness—but not the whole meaning of it • How our everyday choices can reflect the character of God • One practical question to help you choose what pleases the Lord Goodness is not about earning God’s love. It’s about learning to live like you belong to Jesus.

    How to Show Kindness in Everyday Life—Especially When It Isn’t Easy | Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness

    You’re tired. You need to get home. And then you notice someone nearby who could use some help. Do you keep walking… or do you stop? In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re continuing our series, The Fruit of the Spirit in Everyday Family Life, and looking at Colossians 3:12 and what it means to put on kindness. We’ll talk about: • Why kindness is more than simply being nice • How the Holy Spirit can prompt you to notice and respond • What it looks like to let God’s Word shape the way you treat people • How your child learns kindness by watching you live it • One practical step to help you look for an opportunity to show kindness today And I’m also sharing a little something that is very close to my heart—my upcoming GOD Says So™ Kids book, I Can Be Kind Like Jesus. This is being created to help preschoolers begin to recognize what kindness can look like in their own everyday lives. Kindness is something we can talk about. But it’s also something our children can watch us live. ~ ~ ~ Stay Rooted in Scripture. Live by What God Says.

    When You’re Running Out of Patience: How the Holy Spirit Helps You Respond | Fruit of the Spirit: Patience

    What Does Patience Look Like When You’re Running Out of It? You’re trying to get out the door. Your child is moving very... slowly. And you can feel the impatience rising. So what does God’s Word say about the way we respond in moments like this? In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re continuing our series, The Fruit of the Spirit in Everyday Family Life, and looking at James 1:19–20. We’ll talk about: • What it means to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry • How impatience can begin affecting our words and reactions • How the Holy Spirit can help us respond differently in the moment • What your child gets to see when your response is shaped by God’s Word • One simple practical step to help you slow down before you speak Patience doesn’t mean there’s never urgency or that your child gets to decide the schedule. It means that even when you need to correct, step in, or move things along, the way you respond can still be shaped by God’s Word. ~ ~ ~ Stay Rooted in Scripture. Live by What God Says.
