While social media can give us many great tips and examples for motherhood, it’s important to recognize its limitations and continue pursuing true, face-to-face community.

A few of R|M’s close ministry partners share words of wisdom and encouragement for our community.

Emily and Laura give practical tips from their years of experience for moms looking to start their own ministry or organization.

While we seek to be hard-working, dependable servants, we are also free to pivot in motherhood as the Lord leads.

Just like good art requires perseverance and endless trial and error, so too does motherhood push us to keep showing up and trying our best—trusting that the great Artist will finish his good work in us and our children.

Every moment matters in motherhood because we—and our children—matter to the One who created us.

Serving and sharing what we have with moms around us will often disrupt our lives on some level, but God can use it in incredible ways for his kingdom.

We can trust that God uses even painful rejections for our child—on the field, at the tryout, in a relationship—to shape both of our hearts more in his image.

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.
