    225~Five Years Behind the Mic | What 225 Episodes Have Taught Me

    Five years ago, one simple sentence changed my life: "I like listening to you. You should start a podcast." I had no idea that one small "yes" would become 225 episodes, and countless conversations pointing moms back to Jesus. In this special anniversary episode, I'm taking you behind the microphone to share the journey, from the early Unmasking series and HELP! episodes to the heartbreaking seasons of losing both of my parents, navigating unexpected challenges, and watching God's faithfulness every step of the way.

    224~Serving From Love, Not For Love with Courtney

    Have you ever reached the end of the day with everything checked off your list... and still felt empty? In this solo episode of The Mom Show, Courtney reflects on one powerful takeaway from last week's conversation with Katie Reid: Are we serving from love... or serving for love? It's a small difference in wording, but it can completely change the way we experience motherhood. Together, we'll explore how easy it is to tie our identity to being needed, why the lack of a simple "thank you" can affect us so deeply, and how resting in our identity as daughters of God allows us to serve from a place of fullness instead of striving. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why serving for love always leaves us exhausted. The difference between serving as a daughter of God versus performing for approval. A simple way to recognize when your identity has become tied to what you do. Five practical ways to begin serving from a full heart instead of an empty one. Why God's love was never something you had to earn. This Week's Challenge Choose just one of these practices this week: Do one hidden act of kindness that no one knows about. Notice moments of resentment and ask what you're hoping to receive in return. Spend intentional time allowing God to fill your heart before you pour into everyone else. Speak this truth over yourself daily: "I am loved, not because of what I do today, but because I belong to Christ." Before saying yes to something new, ask: "Am I serving from a full cup... or trying to fill one?" Scripture to Reflect On "We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19 Mentioned in This Episode Katie Reid's episode on The Mom Show (listen to the previous episode for the conversation that inspired today's message).

You don't have to earn the love you're already standing in. You get to serve from it—not for it.

    223~ Made Like Martha: Trading Striving for Grace with Katie Reid

    Have you ever felt like you have to earn God's love? Maybe you're constantly trying to be the perfect mom, the perfect wife, the perfect friend, or the perfect Christian. You keep doing more, serving more, and striving harder—yet you still feel exhausted. In this encouraging conversation, Courtney sits down with author and speaker Katie Reid to talk about the life-changing moment she calls her "dusty living room revelation"—the day God showed her that grace isn't something we earn, but a gift we simply receive. Together they explore what it means to move from striving to settledness, from perfectionism to peace, and from living like hired help to embracing your identity as a beloved daughter of God. If you've ever wrestled with comparison, burnout, people-pleasing, or the pressure to have it all together, this conversation is one your heart needs to hear. In This Episode Katie shares the story behind her unforgettable "dusty living room revelation." How legalism quietly sneaks into motherhood and our relationship with God. Why so many Christian women struggle to receive God's love. A fresh perspective on Martha that may completely change how you read her story. Learning to serve from love instead of serving for love. Why saying "no" can actually be one of the most spiritual things you do. Practical encouragement for overwhelmed moms carrying too much. Trusting God with your children's spiritual journeys. How embracing your identity as God's daughter changes the atmosphere of your home. A Favorite Quote "Jesus is not company to impress. He's family to enjoy." Scriptures Mentioned Luke 10:38–42 John 11 Exodus 2 Proverbs 3:5–8 Zephaniah 3:17 Resources Mentioned Made Like Martha by Katie Reid Katie's message is a beautiful reminder that God never asked us to earn His approval. As moms, we can stop striving and begin resting in the love that's already ours through Christ.

    221~ When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees with Shalene Roberts

    219~Discovering True Peace in a Restless World with Lindsay Roberts

    What if peace isn't something you find once life finally settles down? In this encouraging episode of The MOM Show, Courtney sits down with author, speaker, and ministry leader Lindsay Roberts to discuss finding God's peace in the middle of life's greatest heartbreaks and uncertainties. Lindsay vulnerably shares her journey through infertility, multiple miscarriages, the heartbreaking loss of her full-term son, and the life-changing lesson that has sustained her faith through every season: don't quit mid-miracle.

    218~Why You Still Don't Feel Peace

    Episode Summary Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll have peace when..."? When the kids are older. When summer is over. When life slows down. When the house is clean. When this difficult season finally passes. The truth is, if we're always waiting for life to settle down before we experience peace, we'll spend our lives waiting. In this solo episode, Courtney shares why true peace isn't found in the absence of chaos—it's found in the presence of Christ. Building on last week's conversation with Erin Greneaux, this episode is an invitation to stop postponing peace and begin recognizing that God is already meeting you in the middle of your ordinary, everyday motherhood. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why we often believe peace is waiting on the other side of our circumstances The lie behind the phrase, "I'll have peace when..." How busyness and constant distractions keep us from noticing God's presence Why Jesus never promised a trouble-free life—but He did promise His presence Practical ways to create margin and meet with God in the middle of a busy season Learning to stop waiting for life to calm down and start experiencing God's peace today Truths to Remember: Peace isn't the absence of chaos—it's the presence of Christ. There will always be another busy season, another challenge, and another "after." God is already present in your ordinary moments—you simply have to slow down enough to notice Him. You don't have to wait until everything changes before you experience the peace Jesus offers today.
