Over A Cup
This podcast is for moms, who feel too busy, distracted, and tired to spend time with Jesus, much less to help their kids do the same. As Moms one of our biggest goals is to see our kids get to heaven, but we can’t introduce them to a God we don’t know ourselves. But between drop off and pick up lines, practices, and activities, when are we to find the time? There is hope! This podcast will help you feel encouraged, inspired, and equipped to fight distractions and find the time as we learn to focus on Jesus together.
Episodes
Sometimes the stories in the Bible fail to move our hearts. Or more accurately, we fail to be moved by them.
When this happened to me with the crucifixion story, I asked God to please soften my heart toward his word and he did! This episode is the story of how that happened and what I learned.
Pour yourself a cup as we LOOK at John 19:1-16 together.
Resources:
In this podcast episode, we explore how Jesus relates to our daily struggles as wives, moms, and women. We often feel busy and unappreciated, but Jesus shows us that he understands. Looking at John 13, we see how Jesus served others because he knew where he came from, who he was, and where he was going. We can learn from him and serve others from those same places.
Let’s LOOK together:
Listen
John 10:1-16
Observe
V. 1-5: Shepherd
Follow because they know his voice – we must spend time with Jesus to know his voice
Jesus leads them – he never asks anything of us that he hasn’t done himself (John 13)
V. 6-10: Gate
Back then sometimes the shepherd laid across the sheep pen at the gate. (https://ourdailybread.org/article/jesus-said-i-am-the-gate/) He was protecti...
Let’s LOOK:
L - John 6:32-40 & 47-51
O - Bread - back then it was more nourishing. Think of the artisan and whole grain breads today. Interesting to note that many cultures have a bread type food as a main staple of their culture: bread, tortillas, pasta, fry bread…
- It is needed for life.
- He gave his life for us. Acts 2:38 tells us: 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for t...
So often we feel as if we're walking in darkness. In John 1 Jesus is described as the "true light" who gives light to everyone. Then throughout the rest of John, we see Jesus live out what it means to "be the light." In this episode, learn
- How Jesus is the light
- Why Jesus being the light matters to Moms today
- How we can be the light
