    225. When a Mother Prays

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. Have you ever felt like your prayers lacked rhythm or direction? Bethany is welcoming listeners into When a Mother Prays series. In this next month Bethany will take listeners on a journey of intentionally praying for your children. 
     
    But what makes a prayer truly effective? How do we cultivate a consistent prayer life that resonates with purpose and meaning? These are questions that many of us grapple with as we navigate daily life.
     
    So how do we cultivate a consistent prayer plan that resonates with purpose? It starts with intentionality. Setting aside dedicated time each day whether it's through quiet reflection, scripture reading, or journaling, can help us establish a rhythm of prayer that nourishes our souls. 
     
    Bethany invites listeners to walk with her as she unpacks a Warrior Mama’s Prayer journal to help you intentionally pray for your children. Join Bethany this month as we embrace the power of a mother's prayer—the rhythm and the purpose.

    224. Motherhood According to God's Design: When We Are Worried or Consumed With How Our Children Will Be as Adults

    224. Motherhood According to God's Design: When We Are Worried or Consumed With How Our Children Will Be as Adults

    Welcome back to the kitchen table as Bethany welcomes listeners into a series of understanding motherhood through the eyes of God. We're told that we only have 18 years to get it all right—to mold, shape, and guide our children into adulthood. The fear of the future looms large, whispering doubts and insecurities into our hearts.
     
    In 2 Corinthians 1:20-22, we find reassurance in God's promises. He is faithful to fulfill all that he has spoken over us and our children. Even in our moments of doubt and regret, his love remains steadfast, and his plans for us and our families hold true.
     
    We are not defined by the fleeting seasons of motherhood but by the love and grace of our God. Bethany reminds listeners today to embrace motherhood with confidence and grace, knowing that we are more than capable of fulfilling the role entrusted to us.

    223. Motherhood According to God's Design: When We Struggle With Making Decisions and Setting Boundaries

    223. Motherhood According to God's Design: When We Struggle With Making Decisions and Setting Boundaries

    Welcome back to the kitchen table as Bethany welcomes listeners into a series of understanding motherhood through the eyes of God. In motherhood it’s not uncommon to find ourselves questioning the decisions we make. From setting boundaries with our children to navigating the delicate balance between love and discipline, the journey of motherhood is often accompanied by waves of doubt and insecurity.
     
    Bethany reminds us to stand firm in the confidence of being gospel-centered moms. It's a powerful reminder rooted in Psalms 18:19, which speaks of God's faithfulness and his invitation for us to sit with him and hear his guidance. We can turn to him for reassurance in the decisions we make in motherhood.
     
    So, the next time you find yourself questioning your decisions as a mother, take a moment to pause and reflect. Seek guidance in God's word, and trust that He will lead you on the path of motherhood with grace and confidence.

    222. Motherhood According to God's Design: When We Struggle with Comparison in Motherhood

    222. Motherhood According to God's Design: When We Struggle with Comparison in Motherhood

    Welcome back to the kitchen table as Bethany welcomes listeners into a series of understanding motherhood through the eyes of God.In motherhood we often find ourselves measuring our success or failure based on what they perceive happening around them. 
     
    How do we stop constantly measuring ourselves against others? In today’s episode Bethany uses a word picture to help listeners change the way they view comparison. 
     
    So, how do we stop believing the lie that our worth is determined by how we measure up to others? We hold tightly to Jesus and His promises. We remind ourselves daily that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, uniquely designed for a purpose only we can fulfill. We refuse to let comparison steal our joy or diminish our worth.
     
    In Him, we find the freedom to be ourselves and the strength to rise above comparison.

    221. Seeking His Wisdom: You Don't Have to Have All the Answers in Motherhood

    221. Seeking His Wisdom: You Don't Have to Have All the Answers in Motherhood

    Welcome back to the kitchen table as Bethany welcomes listeners into a series of understanding motherhood through the eyes of God. Motherhood is a journey where we often find ourselves questioning if we have the answers for the season we're in which many mothers find themselves entangled in a web of doubt and uncertainty. 
     
    Bethany reminds listeners of the words found in Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”
     
    This verse serves as a gentle reminder that we're not expected to have all the answers. We're not meant to navigate the complexities of motherhood alone. Instead, we're encouraged to lean on God, to seek guidance, and to trust in his wisdom. 
     
    We're reminded to turn to the one who knows all things, who sees the bigger picture, and who offers guidance and reassurance in times of need.

    220. Embracing Grace in Parenting: You’re More Than Your Child’s Actions

    220. Embracing Grace in Parenting: You’re More Than Your Child’s Actions

    Welcome back to the kitchen table as Bethany welcomes listeners into a series of understanding motherhood through the eyes of God. It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that our children's behavior reflects solely on our abilities as mothers. We must separate the performance of our children from our worth as mothers. 
    As mothers, we've been chosen for our children, entrusted with the incredible responsibility of guiding them through life. Every challenge, every misstep, is an opportunity for growth and connection—not a reflection of our inadequacy.
    In those moments of frustration and doubt, when we feel inadequate and overwhelmed, remember that God leans in, inviting us to meet Him there. He sees our struggles and our triumphs, and He longs to walk alongside us, offering comfort, strength, and wisdom. 
    Instead of allowing the enemy to rob us of our confidence, let us lean into God’s grace, knowing that He equips us for every season of motherhood.

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. ❤️
