Stay-at-Home Mom Life: Work, Seasons, and the Proverbs 31 Woman.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the myth that stay-at-home moms don’t work. Motherhood is work—holy, purposeful work—and how it looks will shift depending on your season, your children’s ages, and your family’s needs. That’s the beauty of being home: you can adapt your rhythms according to the values and priorities God has placed in your care.
Drawing from the example of the Proverbs 31 woman, we’ll explore how God designed our work to change across the seasons of life. Whether you’re working outside the home, discipling children within it, or walking somewhere in between, your quiet efforts have eternal impact.
Mama, don’t rush. You have time. God has given you a long runway for growth, sanctification, and purpose. He is sovereign over every season, and your daily choices—how you spend your time, where you place your energy, and the way you love your family—are a powerful testimony of His goodness.
If you sense that God is leading you to shift from a career to a home-centered life, could it be that He has a special plan for you there? To deepen your faith, to live out His Word, and to quietly build His kingdom, starting with those He’s entrusted to you?
Be faithful with whatever He’s placed in your hands to steward. Remember: home is holy work, and motherhood is a ministry worth pursuing.
