Beautiful Mess: Seeking Jesus, Finding Beautiful CONNECTION.

Melanie and Christy are joined with friend and special guest Tabitha Dowdy. Tabitha serves on the MomLife Ministries Board of Directors and Planning Team and she serves as the Kids Ministry Director at her local church.

Listen in as they talk about how both the idea and follow-through of obedience can be challenging. But also how it serves as a way to connect to Father God. 

We’re always looking for new leaders and churches to host MomLife groups! If you love connecting with moms and want to use your time and energy to encourage other moms to grow in their faith and friendships, you might be a good MomLife leader! You can host a group in your home, your church, a coffee shop, over your lunch break at work… the options are endless for how you use the MomLife curriculum to engage with gospel-centered teaching videos, spiritual discussion prompts, and personal study.

Check out more information about becoming an independent Table Mom (lead a small group of mom friends) or Church Partner (lead a larger group of moms) at momlife.org.

Discussion questions for today's episode:

  • What was obedience like for you in your home when you were growing up?
  • What does obedience mean to you now that you are a mom? How does this change or enhance your view of what it means to be obedient to God?
  • Today’s beautiful Truth is: Philippians 2:12-13. How are these words encouraging [or challenging] to you?
  • How might you practice “turning down” the voices of everything else in order to “turn up” the voice of God so that you can listen and obey? (Reference Jer 7:23, Prov 8:33-34, John 10:27.)
  • Ask God to help you listen and obey.
  • If you need some help in discerning a step of obedience God might be calling you to make, check out our FREE PRINTABLE: Beautiful Obedience PDF.
