    Our New Theme | Look to the Heavens | Sally Burke

    “The Sovereign Lord comes in power… Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens.” Isaiah 40:10a, 26a Our new Moms in Prayer theme comes from the book of Isaiah, where we see God’s sovereignty, judgment, and grace. Join us as Moms in Prayer President Sally Burke shares her heart and encourages every mom to be renewed in His strength as we pray for our children. As we lift our eyes to the Lord, may we persevere in prayer, trust in the eternal power of His Word, and faithfully intercede for our children and their schools.

Compelled by joy and the hope God gave as she prayed with others for her children and their schools, Sally began to reach out and share with other moms—first as a Moms in Prayer group leader, then area coordinator for her hometown of Temecula, California, and later as regional coordinator for Riverside County. In 2008, Sally became the Director of Field Ministry at Moms in Prayer headquarters, overseeing ministry expansion worldwide. Today, in her role as President of Moms in Prayer International, her vision remains unchanged, that more children and schools and moms might experience God’s life-changing answers to prayer. Sally is also an international speaker, teacher and author of Raise Them Up, Start with Praise, Unshaken and the Unshaken Study Guide.  As a child growing up in Florida, Sally was fascinated with the space program and began her career as a space shuttle engineer with a Master of Science in Management. After her marriage and the birth of two children, Sally and her husband came to faith in Christ, and Moms in Prayer soon became a top priority. She and husband, Ed, now have four grown children, two sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. In her leisure time, you’ll find Sally on a walk/run, curled up with a good book or enjoying the company of friends. LINKS New to Moms in Prayer? How to get started Support Our Mission: Give Here

    2 Corinthians 12 & 13 | Painful Seasons, Profound Purpose | Stephanie McDermott

    “Your weakness is not a flaw; it’s the tabernacle for His power.” Painful seasons have profound purposes, and Paul’s love for the Corinthian church reveals how God works through weakness to bring about restoration and guard our hearts from bitterness. Join us as Moms in Prayer leader Stephanie McDermott wraps up our study of 2 Corinthians, exploring how we can find strength in Christ through seasons of weakness and misunderstanding. As moms, our children’s brokenness can draw us back to God week after week, relying on Him to do what we cannot. Discover how our weaknesses can become a dwelling place for God’s power, allowing us to choose love over division and peace over gossip.

    2 Corinthians 11 | A Godly Jealousy | Tonja Willey

    “God does not want our ability but our availability.” Paul’s heart for the church in Corinth is a small reflection of God’s jealous heart for His people. God refuses to share the human heart with any competitor because He knows that our eternal life depends on loyalty to Him. God is jealous for our attention, our energy, and our lives. When we make ourselves available to Him, even in our weakness, God’s strength can be revealed. Our limitations become opportunities to experience His power and a reminder that we can trust Him to do what only He can do. Listen in as we walk through the 2 Corinthians 11 with Utah State Coordinator Tonja Willey. The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network. To find practical and spiritual advice to help you grow into the parent you want to be visit ChristianParenting.org ABOUT OUR GUEST I started with Moms in Prayer (MIP) when our youngest was in kindergarten. A change in leadership and the need for prayer at our son’s school was what it took to get me to start a group. I have been a leader all but one year when our son entered high school. This gave me the opportunity to be under another leader and learn from her. After moving from Oregon to Utah in 2022, I was lonely, but knew how to make the best type of friends – by finding or starting a local MIP group. After asking a friend at church if she would join me, we started a group. This led me to a coordinator role so I could help other women in Utah get connected. MIP has taught me who God really is and that He is for me and my family. He will never leave us. He looks out for us. He is the One and Only God who keeps showing up and changing the scenarios of negativity into His possibilities. He’s the God of the two-word sermon…But God. I have been married since 1990. We have a daughter and a son who are both married to incredible Christians. We have a total of three grandsons who are growing in their faith in Jesus and our first granddaughter on the way. As a family we like to travel, camp, be on the water and just spend time together. LINKS New to Moms in Prayer?

    2 Corinthians 8 & 9 | God’s Abundance in Your Life | Kim West

    Our amazing God became poor that we may be rich. He has abundantly given us everything we need for life and godliness. What is our response? How can we partner with God in the work He is doing in our lives and around the world? God wants to use us! Are we ready to be His vessels? Today’s episode brings us to a place in 2 Corinthians where Paul is encouraging the church to be faithful to do what they said they would do, to be people of their word, and to be a part of God’s work. May we have ears to hear how God is leading us and be obedient to His call. The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network. To find practical and spiritual advice to help you grow into the parent you want to be visit ChristianParenting.org ABOUT OUR GUEST In 1987, I heard Fern Nichols’ radio interview with Dr. James Dobson on Focus on the Family. From that moment, I knew that if God blessed us with children, I wanted to be part of Moms in Prayer (MIP). Eleven years later, in 1998, with two children in tow and having just moved to Hong Kong, I joined my first MIP group. My life was changed as I learned to focus my prayers on God’s character and His Word. In 2001, after adopting our third child and moving from Asia to Arkansas, God faithfully connected me with another group of praying moms. I’ve been part of that wonderful community ever since. One scripture I often pray over our children and grandchildren is, “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” Ephesians 3:14–17a Over the years, I’ve witnessed God pursue our children, strengthen them when they are weary, and call our children into full-time ministry and service. He is faithful—and we are called to be faithful in prayer, trusting Him to work in the lives of our children and grandchildren. I’ve learned there is no greater place to be than in His presence, interceding for the next generation and the places they live, learn, and work. LINKS New to Moms in Prayer?

    2 Corinthians 6 & 7 | We Are Ambassadors for Christ | Laura Riley

    It can be easy to just let life happen to us or feel like we are barely hanging on and just trying to get through each day. Yet, we are challenged to live intentionally, to walk in a way that is pleasing to God and to be used by Him. In 2 Corinthians 6 and 7, Paul encourages us to not receive the gift of salvation in vain, but to make the most of what we have been given and to share it with others. We get to reflect the grace of God to those around us and be ambassadors for Christ. Let us not waste the time we have been given. Listen in as we walk through these chapters with our Louisiana State Coordinator, Laura Riley. The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network. To find practical and spiritual advice to help you grow into the parent you want to be visit ChristianParenting.org ABOUT OUR GUEST I first heard about Moms in Prayer on Focus on the Family in 1985 when I was just a teenager. I remember thinking that when I had children, I wanted to give my kids the gift of prayer. Fast forward 25 years, my sons were 10 and 12 and our family was going on a 5-week trip to Africa for my husband to teach at Uganda Baptist Seminary. I was asked to teach the women about parenting. The Lord impressed on me to not be afraid, to read the new book I had brought on the trip, Every Child Needs a Praying Mom by Fern Nichols, and to use that book to teach the four steps of prayer to the Ugandan moms. When I got home, I realized I couldn’t go to Africa and do something I wasn’t willing to do in my own town, so I started a Moms in Prayer group. Whether our kids are in a private school, public school, or homeschool, we will be better parents when we are consistently praying with other women for our children. It is wonderful to have other women praying over my children. I can look back at the prayer sheets and see that God has been faithful. God continues to shape my sons into the men of God He wants them to be. Now I pray not only for our two sons, but also our two daughters-in-law, and our two grandsons. God is faithful, generation after generation. LINKS New to Moms in Prayer? How to get started Renewed Oklahoma Event Renewed Florida Event All Moms in Prayer Events Support Our Mission

    2 Corinthians 5 | Living a Life That Is Pleasing to God | Michelle Homchuck

    When Christ comes into our lives, He changes the way we think and our desires—our ambition and our passion now becomes Christ.” God has done everything for us. He has loved us despite our sin, failures and lack. He chose YOU. And as you pursue Him, He begins to refine and sanctify you. He gently leads you and teaches you how to walk in a way that is pleasing to Him. He opens your eyes to opportunities to serve Him and love others. Listen in to hear these humbling truths from 2 Corinthians 5 as we talk with our Maine State Coordinator, Michelle Homchuck. The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network. To find practical and spiritual advice to help you grow into the parent you want to be visit ChristianParenting.org ABOUT OUR GUEST My husband and I have served at a church in Central Maine that began in our home over 20 years ago. I first experienced Moms in Prayer (MIP) through the invitation of a friend. My four children were all still young and homeschooled at the time. Seeing the need to pray for them, I quickly gravitated to a MIP group and found encouragement and power through praying scripture. My involvement in MIP has changed everything in our family and church life and I have witnessed the Lord do exceedingly abundantly more than I asked or thought. He has been faithful through one child’s prodigal season and I have seen Him work in each of my children’s lives to deepen their personal relationship with Him. Now I have the privilege of praying for my grandchildren as well. One of my passions is to reach out to new moms and teach them the heart of prayer for their little ones. My hope is that my own journey will encourage other women to begin praying for their children while they are young and keep going, even when they have grandchildren. LINKS New to Moms in Prayer?
