Welcome to the kitchen table, mama. This episode kicks off the Be The Voice Warrior Mama Podcast Tour — and we couldn't think of a more fitting place to start than under a centuries-old oak tree at the ROOTED Conference, surrounded by women learning what it means to become "oaks of righteousness." In this live Q&A, Bethany sits down with a circle of moms — young moms, seasoned moms, single moms, moms parenting kids with extra needs — and answers the questions they've been holding close. The conversation moves from the practical ("How do I disciple my own kids while ministering to others?") into the deep waters of gospel discipline, marriage rhythms, navigating friendships with different parenting styles, talking with kids about sex from God's design, and shepherding the child who doesn't fit the "normal" mold. If you've ever felt the noise of modern parenting advice drowning out the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit, this episode is your invitation back to the plumb line. What You'll HearWhy the most powerful discipleship rarely happens in scheduled "discipleship time"The freedom of letting other women see your messy house, messy kids, and messy dayThe practice Bethany returns to every January: asking God to show her each child the way He sees themThe four parts of a gospel discipline conversation — correction, inspection, repentance, and blessingWhy correcting behavior without offering Jesus leaves your child without hopeThe "four minute rule" that protected Bethany and Troy's marriage through eight kids and decades of busy seasonsWhy your children's deepest security comes from knowing mom and dad are togetherWisdom for moms parenting solo, or alongside a spouse who isn't tracking with them spirituallyHow to handle friendships with moms who parent very differently — without abandoning the friendship or your convictionsA simple, gospel-rooted framework for talking with kids about sex and God's design for itEncouragement for the mom raising a child who doesn't match the cultural ideal — and why those kids may understand the gospel sooner than the rest 🌳 The Be The Voice Tour Is ComingThis episode is just the beginning. Over the next year, the Be The Voice Warrior Mama Tour is heading to 12 states, gathering gospel-centered mamas around real kitchen tables, real oak trees, and real conversations about raising kids who love Jesus in a world that doesn't. This isn't a polished, glossy event. It's the same conversation you just heard — in your city. We'll worship, we'll wrestle with hard questions together, we'll laugh, and we'll send each other home with a community of like-minded moms who are in it with you for the long haul. The 12 cities will be announced on June 1 at www.bethanykimsey.com — mark your calendar.
