In this heartfelt and honest episode, I sit down with author Shalene Roberts to explore the powerful message behind her book When Mothering is Hard, and No One Sees: Where Gritty Meets Glorious in God's Eternal Plan for Moms.
Shalene shares her heart behind writing this brand new book, offering encouragement for mothers who feel overwhelmed, overlooked, or unsure if what they're doing truly matters and powerfully brings the gospel to bear on motherhood.
This conversation reframes the challenges of mothering, reminding us that even in the grit, there is glory. We talk about how God is present in the mundane, the messy, and the exhausting—and how every act of love, no matter how small or hidden, has eternal value.
Whether you're in a season of joy, burnout, or somewhere in between, this episode will meet you with compassion, truth, and hope. You'll walk away feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that your role as a mother is deeply significant in God's greater plan.
If you've ever felt like your work is invisible, this conversation is a beautiful reminder: nothing done in love is ever wasted.
