Being a mom and a pastor’s wife often means feeling the tension of caring for both church members and our children. Thankfully, admitting our weakness allows us to rest in Christ’s power.

We can teach our kids to celebrate differences—God created them so we can help each other.

Instead of discouraging us, comparison can be a means of God’s grace at work in our lives transforming us more into the image of Christ.

Here are three of the most effective expressions of care that you can offer a friend in the wake of pregnancy loss.

Every mom has her own unique story. But all moms have one foundational need.

If we want to share gospel hope with busy moms, we need to meet them where we know they are—online and on social media.

Though our days may already be filled with serving our own families, when a friend is in crisis, we have a beautiful opportunity to serve her and help her experience the love of Christ.

The little years might not seem like the season for mentoring. But we don’t have to have it all together to have something to offer—the beauty of mentoring is growing together.

As moms we spend a lot of time caring for our nuclear families, but what a blessing that we’re part of a much larger spiritual family! In the church, we get to love and be loved by our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Caring for our children often leaves us with little time to care for our friends. But with a little creativity, we can be a friend at all times, even when we don’t have time.

If you’ve ever read passages like 1 Peter 4:9—“Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling”—with a pang of guilt, you’re not alone.

Whether our earthly family is a place of joy or heartache, it can point us to God’s eternal family—the place we all belong.
