Bethany Kimsey welcomes you for a quick cup of coffee, some laughs and maybe a few tears as we talk about the realities of motherhood. As a mother of 8 children ranging in age from 5-21, Bethany has learned the freedom of applying gospel truths to the daily details with children. Together we will learn how to take spiritual truths into the micro and macro moments of motherhood. How do we make this fuzzy intersection of real life mothering and the gospel clearly defined for vision and confidence? Connection happens when we meet together in the real spaces-- the kitchen tables of life-- sharing stories of hope, truth, and grace. When God breaks through everything changes about our motherhood, and we can walk with confidence and purpose.

    329. Emotional Confidence Part 3 with Alicia Michelle

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany and Alicia are sitting down for another great conversation, this time diving into a practical way to manage emotions confidently: the ADD Method. The first step is acknowledge—a simple but often overlooked part of processing our emotions. It’s about taking a moment to recognize what we’re feeling without judgment. Instead of pushing away uncomfortable emotions, we say to ourselves, “It makes sense I’m feeling this way because…” By acknowledging our emotions, we’re not dismissing them or labeling them as good or bad. We’re simply making space for them. This step is about leaning into God’s compassion for us. He understands our struggles and invites us to be honest with ourselves.

    327. Emotional Confidence with Alicia Michelle

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. Today, Bethany is sitting down with Alicia Michelle for a much-needed and relatable conversation about emotions. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why am I feeling the same emotions over and over again?” or “Why am I always in this space?” then this conversation is for you. Alicia shares her journey to emotional confidence—one that didn’t come easily. Growing up, emotions weren’t welcome in her home, and she didn’t know how to navigate her feelings. But through a deep connection with Christ, she created a method to help herself, realizing that there’s a piece missing in many churches when it comes to relating to our emotions. In motherhood, it’s easy to lose ourselves, and our emotions often float just beneath the surface. We’ve all experienced things that have hurt us, but it’s okay to admit that we have emotions—whether we’re struggling or simply simmering with feelings we’ve ignored. We don’t have to pretend everything is fine. The first step is to acknowledge what we’re feeling. It’s time to sit down, acknowledge our emotions, and invite God into our everyday experiences, trusting that he’s with us, guiding us with love and truth.  You have permission to feel—and to relate to your emotions.

    326. Parenting Principles: Helping Our Children Live with Generosity

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. Instead of just teaching our kids to share, what if we encouraged them to be givers? There’s a powerful shift that happens when we teach our children to look beyond themselves and to think about the joy of giving. When children face those moments where they don’t want to give up their toy or share their snack, it’s the perfect opportunity for a lesson in perspective. We can ask them to imagine themselves as the one wanting the toy or waiting for a turn. This simple shift aligns with what we see in Matthew 5:38, where Jesus encourages us to turn the other cheek — a powerful reversal of our natural instincts. This mindset helps our children see beyond their immediate wants and think about the needs of others. We aren’t just teaching them to share; we’re teaching them to love like Jesus.   Connect with Bethany here Follow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

    325. Parenting Principles: Teaching Our Children to Share

    Welcome back to the kitchen table! Bethany is sharing a parent principle that every parent battles: sharing. If you’ve ever watched your kids argue over toys, you know how  challenging this can be. But the reality is, selfishness is bound to show up in your house. And honestly, it shouldn’t surprise us.  As parents, we’re guiding little ones who are just learning what it means to walk with Jesus. They are new to this journey, and we have the privilege of teaching them how to be generous. In 1 Corinthians 10:24, Paul reminds us, “No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.” Similarly, Philippians 2 teaches us to put others' needs before our own, while 1 Corinthians 13 calls us to love selflessly. These verses set the stage for how we can approach the concept of sharing with our kids. So how do we handle it when selfishness rears its head over toys and playtime? Instead of forcing the issue, focus on teaching them to consider the interests of others. When a child chooses to join another’s play willingly, we see generous sharing in action. It’s a choice, not a demand. Sharing is a tough concept for kids to grasp, but by guiding them with principles from the Gospel, we can help them learn what it looks like to put others first. And in the process, we’re shaping hearts to be more like Jesus. Connect with Bethany here Follow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

    324. Parenting Principles: How Do I Stop the Tattling

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. It’s easy to step in when our kids tattle, ready to fix the problem and make things right. But what if our urge to solve everything is keeping them from learning a valuable skill—resolving conflict on their own? Bethany used to jump in at the first sign of tattling, sorting out every disagreement between her kids. Instead, she began teaching them a biblical approach to conflict resolution, inspired by Matthew 18:15-17. Now, when her kids come running to tattle, Bethany gently asks, “Have you talked to them about it?” She encourages them to address the person directly and seek a solution together before involving her. This simple shift has made a big impact and follows God’s call to be peacemakers. By stepping back, Bethany is helping her kids develop the skills they need to navigate disagreements with patience and love.  Connect with Bethany here Follow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

    323. Parenting Principles: Raising Peacemakers

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. Conflict is a natural part of life, but how we handle it can make all the difference. As parents, we have an opportunity to teach our children the importance of resolving conflict in a way that reflects our calling to be peacemakers. The Gospel challenges us to seek peace, as seen in Romans 12:17-18, which urges us to live at peace with everyone as much as we can. This doesn't mean avoiding conflict altogether but approaching it with the goal of bringing reconciliation. We can teach our children that being a peacemaker starts with love. When we guide our kids through disagreements, we can encourage them to pause, take a deep breath, and ask themselves: How can I work towards peace in this situation? Teaching our children to be peacemakers prepares them to navigate life's challenges with grace and love. It equips them with the skills to bridge the gap between hurt and healing, showing the world a glimpse of the gospel in action.

    322. Parenting Principles: Teaching Our Children to Be Problem Solvers

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. It’s natural to want to jump in and fix our kids' problems. We worry about their decisions and try to steer them toward the best outcomes. But what if our instinct to solve everything is holding them back from learning a powerful skill—problem-solving? Bethany used to want to solve every problem her kids faced. It felt natural to step in and guide their decisions, but over time, she realized this approach wasn’t helping them grow. Instead of fixing everything, she’s been learning to teach them how to be problem solvers themselves—a lesson God has been showing her. Bethany is teaching them to turn to God with their struggles, reminding them He’s always with them. She leans on two scriptures for this Isaiah 41:10 and Philippians 4:6.  By stepping back, Bethany helps her kids trust in God’s guidance, knowing He’s the ultimate problem solver. It’s a powerful shift that equips them to handle challenges with faith and confidence. Connect with Bethany here Follow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey   Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.
