Episode 6: Reflection – What Gratitude Builds in a Mom’s HeartThis special finale episode is a deep, slow, and worshipful reflection on how gratitude transforms us. Through Psalm 103, Luke 17, Colossians 3, and more, we uncover the lasting fruit God produces when we choose to praise Him in the chaos.
Episode 5: The Secret of Contentment – Even in a Full HouseContentment isn't found in quiet moments—it’s found in Christ. This episode explores Philippians 4:10–13 and shows how to live with steady joy even when life is loud, messy, and far from perfect.
Episode 4: Fix Your Eyes – What We Focus On GrowsDistraction is everywhere—but peace comes when we fix our eyes on Jesus. Join us in Hebrews 12:1–3 as we explore how focus shapes our motherhood and how looking at Christ helps us stay rooted in joy.
Episode 3: My Soul Is Weary – Rest for the OverwhelmedFeeling stretched thin? Jesus offers more than physical rest—He offers soul rest. In this episode, we slow down with Matthew 11:28–30 and discover what it means to take His yoke and walk through overwhelm with His strength.
Episode 2: With Thanksgiving – Gratitude Changes the AtmosphereGratitude is more than a mindset—it’s a spiritual shift. This episode walks through 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and shows how thanksgiving reshapes your home, your heart, and your motherhood, one moment at a time.
Episode 1: Rejoice Always – Joy Is a Command, Not a FeelingWhat if joy isn’t something you wait to feel—but something you choose to obey? In this kickoff episode, we explore Philippians 4:4–7 and discover how joy becomes possible even in the middle of a loud house and a long to-do list.
(Luke 22:39–46)Jesus didn’t just suffer physically—He drank the cup of God’s wrath so we wouldn’t have to. In this reverent episode, we look at Gethsemane, the obedience of Christ, and the salvation that began in a garden of sorrow.
Episode 5: The Clothes of Christ – Compassion, Peace, and WorshipColossians 3:12–17Paul gives us a spiritual wardrobe list: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and love. But this passage isn’t about trying harder—it’s about living from who you already are. In this episode, we reflect on what it looks like to wear the character of Christ and do everything—even laundry and carpool—as worship.
Episode 3: Rooted and Built Up in HimColossians 2:6–15This episode explores what it means to stay rooted in Christ in a world full of shallow distractions and spiritual pressure. You’ve already been made complete in Him—now live from that fullness. Learn how to reject striving, cling to grace, and live out your new life in quiet, steady faith—even in the chaos of motherhood.
Episode 1: He Holds All Things TogetherColossians 1:15–23Before we talk about who we are in Christ, we need to look at who He is. This episode explores the supremacy of Jesus—the One who is before all things and holds everything together. If life feels chaotic, shaky, or uncertain, come be reminded that your anchor is not in your circumstances, but in Christ Himself.
Episode 6: The Father We Found
In this special “double portion” episode, Megan reflects on all five names of God explored throughout the week—El Roi, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, El Shaddai, and Abba—along with the powerful truth of Jehovah Shalom. With personal stories, Scripture, and a gentle reminder that God is exactly who we need Him to be, this episode is a tender invitation to rest in the character of our Father—especially if you’re parenting through your own wounds.
Episode 5: Abba – The God Who Calls You His Child
If the word “Father” makes your heart flinch, you are not alone. This episode gently explores how our earthly dads shape how we see God—and how Abba begins to heal what they couldn’t. You don’t have to earn your place in His arms. You’re already His.
Episode 4: El Shaddai – God Almighty, All-Sufficient One What if your limits weren’t a liability—but an invitation? El Shaddai is the God who is enough when you are not. In this episode, we meet Abraham and Sarah in their waiting—and discover the God who meets weakness with sustaining power.
Episode 3: Jehovah Rapha – The Lord Who Heals
Healing isn’t always instant—but it is always possible. In this episode, we explore the bitter waters of Marah and the God who makes them sweet. Whether your wounds are physical, emotional, or spiritual, Jehovah Rapha meets you in the middle of the ache.
Episode 2: Jehovah Jireh – The Lord Will Provide
Provision isn’t just about paychecks—it’s about trust. In this episode, we walk with Abraham up the mountain of surrender and discover the God who doesn’t just give what we need—He provides Himself. A story of deep faith, quiet obedience, and the Lamb who took our place.
Episode 1: El Roi – The God Who Sees
When you feel unseen in the chaos of motherhood, El Roi reminds you that God never looks away. In today’s episode, we meet Hagar in the wilderness—and the God who called her by name. If you’re tired of feeling invisible, this is for you.
On this “double portion” day, we soak in Isaiah 40:11—“He gently leads those who have young.” Whether you’re a new mom, a weary one, or somewhere in between, this promise is for you. God doesn’t rush you. He adjusts His pace to yours. Let that truth lead you into rest.
Psalm 46 doesn’t tell us to be still once life is peaceful—it tells us to be still in the middle of chaos. If your home is loud and your heart is louder, this episode is a call to let your soul anchor again in the God who doesn’t shake.
This story from 2 Kings 4 reminds us that God often works with what’s already in our hands. If you feel like you have nothing left—this one’s for you. The miracle didn’t start with fullness. It started with faith. And it met her in motion.
Exodus 16 doesn’t just give us food from heaven—it gives us a glimpse into God’s heart. A God who meets complaint with compassion. A God who doesn’t just drop provision from the sky, but who teaches us to trust Him daily. This episode is a reminder that He still shows up in quiet, faithful ways.
