Surrendering In Motherhood

This week, we talk about humbly evaluating where we're headed. Time is passing -- whether we're mindfully or mindlessly going through our days. We have to have a vision because our daily habits are making us become something -- it's just a matter of what are we becoming? email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we share a concept that the Lord is trying to show us -- what grace actually means. The truth of the matter is, we need to be living FROM the rest and grace that God has already given to us. So simple, and yet, so profound. We hope this conversation is encouraging to you!

This week, we humbly discuss how we believe the Lord is calling us to position ourselves as we navigate being a woman and mother in this world. We talk about challenges of this generation. We talk about how Jesus changes EVERYTHING. We hope this conversation is encouraging to whatever season of life you're in! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we continue our conversation from last week with taking it a step further from being still in the "I don't know" seasons of life -- and that's making decisions. We have to be so focused on Christ that we know when to pause and when to make a decision. Olivia & Karlie talk about both of them struggling with this due to fear -- which has kept both of them stuck on "start" at times. We hope you're encouraged by this conversation! We'd love to hear from you! Email us surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we continue our conversation from last week as we unpack just how crucial it is to trust God with our "I don't know." Truthfully -- that might even be the whole point of having faith. The Lord is the author of peace. We can trust him no matter what. Striving to do this as a spiritual discipline can help change everything about how we go about this life.

This week, we talking about fixing our focus on God -- no matter what life's circumstances look like. Taking inventory of what has our focus, and ultimately our hearts, is the only way that we can make sure we're following the path that God has for us. Will we ever do this perfectly? Absolutely not. Will we ever know all the answers what what our next steps are in life? Absolutely not. The only thing we can do is fix our focus -- and when we find ourselves getting off track -- repent and turn back. We'd love to get to know YOU! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we continue our conversation about women and how we relate to (and need to honor) each other. We break down a concept we heard on The Family Teams Podcast of being a maiden, a mother, and a matriarch -- and what it looks like to honor each of those stages. We'd love to hear from you! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we open up about the state of female relationships and how we all need to hold each other to a higher standard of "relating" to one another. We need each other in a real way -- to be honest, to uplift, to enourage, and to believe the best about each other. We have to push back against what's "normal" and stop participating in the low hanging fruit that is complaining mommy culture. We'd love to get to know you!

This week, we have a conversation filled with hard/necessary truths. We hope anyone listening to this hears our hearts and feels encouraged by how God created us to be the mothers of our children. We'd love to get to know you! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we talk about what the Lord has shown us through helping cultivate healthy relationships in our lives. Relationships are a foundational part of what we do here on this Earth. We have to reject what the world says about how we are supposed to relate to one another and fix our minds on what God says about it. This is a daily surrender. It's messy. It's real. It's worth it. We'd love to hear from you! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com for any comments, questions, or topic suggestions for future episodes.

This week, we talk about bolding standing in our convictions and still being able to navigate this world. We talk about loneliness. We talk about lukewarm christianity. We talk about God's grace that knows no bounds. We hope this conversation is encouraging for you! We'd love to get to know you! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we have a heart-poured-out conversation about things that the Lord has been showing us in this season of our lives.

This week, we continue the "information overload" conversation with an honest conversation about how this truly is impacting our society, multi-generationally. What are we modeling for our kids? How are we loving and honoring those who have gone before us? Is bitterness and un-forgiveness impacting your legacy? We hope this conversation meets you where you are and encourages you.

This week, we continue our conversation from last week expanding on a few more thoughts that came to us after we wrapped up recording last week. We share the impact of the voices we allow to speak into us as mothers. We share how information overload makes us incapable of mothering with conviction. We'd love to hear from YOU!

This week, we continue our conversation from last week about what to do when we need to make changes in our mothering journey.

This week, we talk about something that every mother faces, but not many talk about in a real way --- not being perfect. That statement seems obvious, but our culture has made it to where mothers feel like they can't be honest or that everything is a joke. We talk about rejecting passive motherhood and how harmful "relatable" content consuming can be. We hope you enjoy this conversation! We want to get to know YOU!

This week, we wanted to take an entire episode to just encourage every mother listening. As always, we hope every podcast we record is encouraging, but also understand that the depth of topics we discuss can feel overwhelming. We wanted to take the time to just speak God's truth over each and every one listening and pray that it meets you wherever you are on your journey. We want to get to know YOU!

This week, we continue talking about being intentional with stewarding our legacy well. We talk about all of the one-size-fits-all systems of this world and how they impact our children. We talk about how our actions and words need to match up and how confusing it is when they don't. We hope this conversation is encouraging and empowers you to be who God called you to be as a mother. We would love to get to know YOU! Email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com

This week, we continue our legacy series of conversations with a talk about taking inventory of our time. Time is so precious. Time is currency. In fact, it's the only currency that we can't get back once it's gone. In this episode, we share our hearts about being the "timekeepers" of our lives and our legacies. God is the author of our time here AND He calls us to be a good steward of the days He's given us. We hope you enjoy this conversation! We want to get to know YOU!
