Ask Us AnythingChristian GrowthEmotions & Mental Health

Mar 25

Whenever we ask the R|M community for questions, they range from lighthearted and practical to thought-provoking and theological, which makes the AUA show something special. In this one-hour episode, Emily and Laura answer listeners’ questions from how to survive motherhood without family support and how to protect children from negative influences, to how they maintain privacy for their families on social media and what their quiet time looks like. We hope as you listen, you’ll see how the gospel applies to everything and how we have freedom in Christ to serve our families in unique ways.

R|M Apply Questions:

Motherhood is hard when we don’t have a support network. How could you support moms around you who need some extra help? What extra support might you need and how could you cultivate that network?
Whether or not special needs are a part of our families, we all face uncertainties. What challenges or uncertainties tend to make you fearful? Think ahead to the future in light of God’s promises. How might he sustain you and care for you in the midst of those challenges or uncertainties?
Protecting our kids while helping them to be a light in the world can be challenging. How can using the categories of being protective, proactive, and reactive help you make wise decisions for you kids?
It’s easy to grow weary of dealing with the same struggles with a child over and over. What’s an area of your child’s life where you feel stuck or discouraged? What might it look like for you to bear with your child and love him/her where they are today, even as you prayerfully hope for change?
God’s word is our life, but having a quiet time in the little years can be challenging. What does having a quiet time look like for you right now? If you have a regular rhythm of spending time with the Lord, how would you like to grow and deepen that time? If not, what’s one change you could make to prioritize time with the Lord?
