When facing mom guilt, we can grow in separating out the truth of the gospel from the lies we tell ourselves—and walk in the freedom of our calling and identity in Christ.

Rather than chasing after a mechanized process and certain output, motherhood invites us to participate in the slow growth that God the Gardener is cultivating in us and our kids.

The gospel gives us eyes to see God’s beautifully unique work in the lives of other moms, rather than feeling threatened or inferior by comparison.

We can help build the church community we long for by proactively studying and serving alongside other moms, rooting our ultimate confidence in Christ.

As our hearts are transformed by the Word, we are equipped to pass on words of blessing and grace to our children.

In the death of our dreams and expectations, we find God growing the fruit of his better plans for us and our families.

When we look back on our motherhood in regret—over our sins, our sufferings, or missed opportunities—we find hope in fixing our eyes on the eternal redemption to come.

In the moments when faithfulness doesn’t feel fun or flashy, God is growing in us hearts of humble service.

Finding good resources to help us grow in gospel motherhood takes time and discernment.

Weak and wasting bodies teach us dependence on the Lord in the here-and-now and deepen our hope in the eternal renewal to come.

Through the tumultuous years of parenting teens, we can look to a steady Savior who promises to grow and go with us always.

We can’t fulfill our motherhood calling by our own strength, but God is faithful to work in and through us as we grow right alongside our kids.
