Feeling angry or burnt out in your motherhood journey? You’re not alone, Mama. In this episode, we explore how to find real, lasting joy in serving the Lord by loving and serving our families. From shifting our perspective to resting in God’s strength, we’ll explore practical, faith-filled ways to trade exhaustion for His peace.
Key Points:
The Struggle is Real: Motherhood is hard, but God meets us in the mess (Psalm 127:3, John 16:33).
Reframe Your Work: Every act of love for your family is worship to God (Colossians 3:23).
Pause for Strength: Take small moments to breathe in God’s truth (Isaiah 40:31).
Joy is a Gift: It’s a fruit of the Spirit, grown as we abide in Him (Galatians 5:22-23).
Scriptures Referenced (ESV):
Psalm 127:3 – “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”
John 16:33 – “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
Isaiah 40:31 – “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…”
Galatians 5:22-23 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”
Takeaways:
Turn your daily tasks into acts of worship to the Lord as you love and serve the Lord through loving and serving your family.
You don’t have to fix your feelings alone—run to God and let His joy be your strength right in the middle of the fire.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
