    Safe + Secure: Life with Abundance w/ Jess Connolly

    Send us a text As we step into February—a season that can sometimes feel overly cold, heavy, or dreary—we continue our conversation on Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd by turning toward what Jesus calls abundant life. What does abundance really mean for Christian moms? In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we’re joined by Jess Connolly, bestselling author and Bible teacher, for a hope-filled conversation rooted in John 10:7–13. Jess helps us reframe abundance not as comfort, ease, or having it all together, but as staying close to Jesus, our Good Shepherd. This episode speaks to moms in every season, whether full of joy or full of longing, whether raising young children or navigating the tender waters of parenting teens or adult children. You’ll hear practical encouragement for tethering your heart to Christ and a reminder that an abundant life is available even in ordinary and difficult seasons.

    Safe + Secure: Life with Prayer

    Send us a text In this episode, we’re slowing down to practice Lectio Divina: an ancient, prayerful way of listening to God through Scripture. As we transition from Psalm 23 into John 10 for the spring semester, we’ll meditate on Jesus’s words, “I am the Good Shepherd.” Together we’ll walk through four simple movements: Read—Notice what stands out from the passage.Reflect—Consider what God might be saying through the passage.Respond—Pray from your heart.Rest—Sit quietly with God and listen.Using John 10:3–11, we’ll listen to the Shepherd who calls us by name, leads us toward abundant life, and protects us from the thief who steals and destroys. This practice helps us slow down, quiet the noise, and recognize Jesus’s loving, guiding voice in our everyday lives as moms. Listen during a walk, your commute, or a quiet moment at home… anytime you need space to slow down, listen to God, and build a practice of discernment. 📖 Want more MomLife encouragement?

    Safe + Secure: Life with Blessing w/ Starr Cliff

    Send us a text What does it really mean to be blessed? In a world that throws around #blessed for picture-perfect vacations, new cars, and Instagram-worthy moments, Psalm 23:6 invites us into a deeper, richer vision of blessing—God’s presence with us every single day, and the promise of a true home with him forever. In this Christmas-week episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we sit down again with our good friend Starr Cliff to talk about Life with Blessing. Together we’ll explore how Scripture redefines blessing, how Jesus’s promise of “God with us” changes everything, and how we can share God’s blessing with our families and communities in real, everyday ways. 📖 Want more MomLife encouragement?

    Safe + Secure: Life with Hope w/ Starr Cliff

    Send us a text The Christmas season is in full swing! And with it comes full calendars, endless to-do lists, and the pressure to make everything magical. But Psalm 23:5 reminds us that God is the One preparing the table for us. He is the most extraordinary and caring of hosts.  In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we sit down with our good friend Starr Cliff to explore what it means to experience Life with Hope in the care of the Good Shepherd. Together we’ll talk about finding peace when we feel stretched thin, making space for feasting and fellowship with God, and remembering that his goodness pursues us even in the busiest season of the year. So grab a cup of coffee, slip away for a moment, and let this conversation remind you: you don’t need to bring the perfect side dish or host gift—just bring yourself. 📖 Want more MomLife encouragement?
