    126. How Do We Parent With Big Emotions?

    Welcome back to the Warrior Mama Podcast. As mothers, we often want to control and handle everything that happens in our households. From babies refusing to sleep, toddlers fighting, or teenagers who talk back, relinquishing to the Lord in your motherhood isn’t easy. In today’s episode, Bethany gives listeners practical tools anchored in God’s truth.
     
    What happens when we are committed to the Lord, but life breaks loose? We become triggered, and our reactions and discipline come from a place of blown emotions. Bethany takes listeners through her parenting, journey, and, most importantly, how she has partnered and trusted the Lord to help her discipline with a Gospel perspective. 
     
    Join Bethany as she guides listeners in the power of the pause and how trusting in the Lord in your walk through motherhood provides you with insight before you step into the problem. Bethany anchors listeners in scripture so that they can posture themselves and trust the Lord so they can handle the crisis, chaos, and discipline from a Gospel-centered place

    125. How do I Fight Worry in Motherhood?

    Welcome to the kitchen table on the Warrior Mama Podcast. Join Bethany in celebrating the new podcast name. More than anything, Bethany is here to equip listeners as warrior mamas to remind them their job matters despite the days when they feel discouraged, messy, and ultimately feel they’re losing the battle. 
     
     As mamas we have constant worries, bombarding thoughts, and struggle with mental overload. To help mamas understand the posture of our Lord, Bethany takes listeners into one of her places in scripture, Psalm 37:5. at first glance Psalm 37:5 can be seen as a formula, but when you dive deeper, it’s a true reminder of his commitment to us and that his love isn’t dependent on our performance. 
     
    Bethany guides listeners through how to pray for our kids while combating worry and staying grounded in God’s promises. We must first understand the word to help walk us through worship and trust in the lord.

Washing with the Word

I can’t say enough about how Bethany’s podcast is a blessing. We share a mutual friend who led me to the podcast. I feel like I’m “washed with the water of the Word” when I listen. I’ve shared this podcast with many moms, but also a single dad, my own husband, and a single friend who cares for her bed-bound father- each of these expressing that they were encouraged in the Truth. I’ve even emailed requesting prayer and direction and Bethany was kind enough to reply. So thankful for a voice for truth that helps center my anxious soul. ❤️

Let God break through your heart deserves it!

God’s Word is always there for us no matter how difficult life gets. I love how Bethany and her guests remind us of this (and how to find rest we need — loved the convo with Melanie). ❤️

Encouraged in Kingdom focused parenting!

Bethany brings such rich fruit to the table as she shared wisdom and insight that is based upon her experience as a mother of eight and also as a woman walking with Christ. This is the kind of podcast mentorship that I prioritize!
