We believe motherhood is best done in community. T

We believe motherhood is best done in community. There's just something so freeing about sharing the burdens of raising babies with a group of women who get it! While we originally meant for our devotional sets to encourage a mama while she goes about her day, the truth is, they make for an incredible group study, as well! Here's what a "Mama Meet-up" might look like for you: ❤️ Set the scripture card out for everyone to see while you chat and catch up over some snacks and warm drinks! ❤️ Then, whenever you're ready, open up your time together by reading the featured verse and the devotion on the back. Invite the group to share some things that resonated with them from the devotion, or if a word or phrase from the verse struck a cord. ❤️ Next, invite the other mamas to look up and read the related Scriptures out loud and take turns answering the discussion questions together. ❤️ Allow the devotion's topic and featured Scripture pave the way to deeper conversations and a time of prayer. It's just that simple (and that powerful)! We would love to help you create a "Mama Meet-up" of your own! Send us a DM and let us know if you'd like to gather up some women near you in 2022.

For far too long, I confused Christ’s promise of

For far too long, I confused Christ’s promise of an abundant life with America’s promise of the “Good Life”. Of course, I knew life wouldn’t be perfect. But still, deep down, I expected Christ to grant me upward mobility, bigger and better opportunities, safety and health, and easy, well-behaved children. But like most faulty beliefs, the moment they were tested they began to fall apart...and I fell apart with them. Mercifully, all of that changed when I read Ephesians 3:19. In this verse, Paul shares his prayer for the Church: “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” (NLT) Did you catch that? The key to experiencing the “fullness of life” that God promises doesn’t come when we achieve financial security or send our well-behaved kids off to college. It comes when we experience the love of Christ. We will experience sorrow and suffering in this life; I’m afraid that is promised. But it doesn’t mean God’s withholding His best from us. Through Christ’s death on the cross and glorious resurrection, we are granted full access to His love, joy, and peace! These are the gifts that will carry us. These are the gifts we were promised. Mama, it is these gifts that hold the abundant life we’ve been waiting for. Press on, Mama!

The sharp contrast I see in John 10:10 is a great

The sharp contrast I see in John 10:10 is a great reminder to me of the life God offers. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy but Jesus came so that I could not only have life but have it abundantly. I can see so many places in my life where I believe the enemy was at work trying to steal, kill, and destroy. There are many times where I found myself going back to Scripture to remember that God is a good, good Father or that He loves me as His very own child. Genesis 3:21 says, "And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them." Even in this dark moment where the enemy sought to destroy God's beloved creation, God made His children garments and clothed them. I can see the depth of His love for Adam and Eve in how He took care of them. He treated them better than they deserved and provided a covering for their guilt -- a symbol of what Jesus would later do when He died on the cross. This is abundance. In 2022, I want to become more aware that while Satan tries to twist my understanding of God, this is simply not true. God is at work and He is a good Father. Press on, Mama!

I don’t know about you, Mama, but motherhood isn

I don’t know about you, Mama, but motherhood isn’t always easy for me. I often feel stretched beyond my limits, alone, and restless. Many days motherhood can seem more like a burden than a blessing; like it's something I am enduring rather than enjoying. As I've processed this struggle, John 10:10 comes to mind, and I keep landing on that phrase “abundant life.” It’s exactly the kind of life I’m desperate for in motherhood. I believe Jesus came to bring us abundant life in every area of our lives. He doesn’t want us to just get through motherhood; He wants us to flourish!
At the same time, there is someone trying to steal and destroy our motherhood. Someone trying to make us feel miserable in the midst of the high calling we’ve been given. When I think about the days that motherhood has felt burdensome, I’ve fallen victim to his attacks. But my motherhood doesn’t have to continue to be at the mercy of Satan’s schemes. As I recognize spiritual warfare rearing its ugly head daily, I can call on the Holy Spirit to defend me and keep my gaze fixed on Christ’s way -- the joyful and plentiful way He has already won for me. The word renewal is becoming my focus for 2022. It includes renewing my perspective on motherhood. As I take hold of abundant motherhood, I want to meet my kids’ struggles with tenderness and intention (instead of frustration). I want to stop and soak up moments with them, rather than just getting through the day side by side. I want to count it great joy that the Lord has entrusted such precious souls into my care and be a light-bearer to them. Press on, Mama!
