Send us a text The Christmas season is in full swing! And with it comes full calendars, endless to-do lists, and the pressure to make everything magical. But Psalm 23:5 reminds us that God is the One preparing the table for us. He is the most extraordinary and caring of hosts. In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we sit down with our good friend Starr Cliff to explore what it means to experience Life with Hope in the care of the Good Shepherd. Together we’ll talk about fin...
Send us a text In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we continue our series Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd by exploring Life with Safety from Psalm 23:4—Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Special guest Tara Dickson shares her story of walking through loss and grief and how God’s presence has carried her. Together we talk about fear, control, and the valleys moms face, and how the Good Shepherd offers comfort...
Send us a text In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we continue our series Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd with a focus on Life with Guidance, based on Psalm 23:3. In a world so full of noise, opinions, and pressure, how can we discern God’s leading, trust him when the path feels uncertain, and walk faithfully even when loved ones choose differently? Guest Kristen Wetherell—pastor’s wife, mom of three, author, and speaker—joins us to encourage moms in every seas...
Send us a text Motherhood is really wonderful and can also be exhausting—whether you’re chasing toddlers, navigating teen drama, or walking alongside adult children, you probably know the deep ache for refreshment. The world offers plenty of quick fixes—another scroll, another show, another cup of coffee—but those rarely leave us fully restored. Psalm 23:2 reminds us that the Good Shepherd offers something better: true refreshment and peace that revives our spirit. In this episode of the MomL...
Send us a text We live in a world that constantly tells us we need more, deserve more, and should never be satisfied. Yet Psalm 23:1 reminds us, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I have all that I need.” So what does it really mean to live with contentment when our culture fuels discontentment at every turn? In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we’re continuing our series Safe + Secure: Life With the Good Shepherd with special guest Chris Baxter (learn more about Chris at respiteforthew...
Send us a text In this bonus episode, join us for a gentle, guided lectio divina prayer time focused on Psalm 23. Whether you're on a walk, folding laundry, waiting in the school pick-up line, or savoring a rare quiet moment at home—this is an invitation to pause and open your heart to God’s presence. Lectio divina simply means “divine reading.” It’s a slow, reflective way of engaging Scripture—not just to gain information, but to cultivate intimacy with God. As we prayerfully dwell on his Wo...
Send us a text As we explore what it means to live Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd, much of our focus this season will come from two key places in Scripture: the book of Psalms and the Gospel of John. In this bonus episode, we’re diving into how to approach the Psalms—because while they’re beautiful and rich, they can also feel a little intimidating or confusing if you’re not sure what to look for. Are these passages just emotional journal entries? Are they meant to be prayers? Pro...
Send us a text In this episode, we slow down and reflect on just the first phrase of Psalm 23: “The Lord is my Shepherd.” What does it mean to live as someone who is cared for, guided, and protected—especially as a mom in a world that often tells us we have to be everything for everyone? Join Melanie and Christy as they unpack how this one powerful verse speaks to our daily lives—offering rest for the overwhelmed, direction for the uncertain, and comfort for the weary. We hope you’ll walk awa...
Send us a text We’re kicking off a new season of the MomLife Ministries Podcast by talking about something we all long for but can sometimes struggle to find: real, spiritual friendship.

We’ll unpack Hebrews 10 and talk about how spiritual friends help us hol...

Send us a text Wholehearted—Loving God With All Your Strength Whether you’re in your 30's or your 80's, Jesus is calling you to faithfully and wholeheartedly follow him—to love him and others with all of your effort and action. You’re going to make mistakes. You’re going to do it imperfectly. There will be distractions. And, you’re not going to have it all figured out right now. That's ok! The goal of the wholehearted believer is to identify and shrink any gaps that might exist between what y...
