When we feel like we have barely enough to serve our own family much less our church family, we can remember that Christ uses scarcity to display his strength.

In seasons where we struggle to sit down for a quiet time or retain what we’ve read, we can creatively seek out ways to put God’s Word always before us.

Community—especially in the wearying, isolating years of young motherhood—is a gift from God for our mutual strengthening and encouragement.

Within our noisy, demanding lives, we can creatively embrace the moments of emptiness, quietness, and loneliness we do have as opportunities to commune with our God.

God has good plans and purposes even within our seasons of obscurity as moms—so we can embrace them as fruitful opportunities from him.

Stewarding our bodies for the glory of God and love of others requires wisdom, discipline, and dependence on the Lord throughout the changing seasons of motherhood.

The simple truths of the gospel, presented through our children’s storybooks, can encourage, convict, and teach us as moms too.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all that we must teach our children, we can seek to faithfully steward each small opportunity God gives to pour truth into their hearts.

When waves of nostalgia hit, the gospel reminds us to hold the past both gratefully and realistically—and to fix our eyes on the hope yet to come.

Rather than settling for half-truths or little lies that our kids will one day outgrow, we can meet their big questions with Big Truths about God and his world.

When we’re overwhelmed by all the undone in motherhood, we place our trust in Christ’s greater work on the cross—which has been fully and finally finished.

We can grow in our Bible literacy one day at a time—not out of guilt or legalism but because Scripture is God’s gracious gift to us.
