The Grace Filled Life with Margo Martin
Welcome to The Grace Filled Life. As a mama of 4 young girls, I have grown weary of trying to keep up with the perfect pictures I see on social media when my life looks nothing like that perfect picture. My heart is to bring reality, encouragement, laughter, and a whole lot of Jesus to mamas who just want to know they aren't alone in the mess. I hope that as you listen, you feel less alone and encouraged through life and scripture to lean into a grace filled life!

When my girls were little, I felt constantly exhausted! I wanted so badly to have energy to keep up with them, but I just felt tired all the time. This led to a lot of depression and frustration for me.
When my girls were almost 3 and 1 years old, I had a crisis moment that changed everything and led to me making some big changes in my life. Those change that I made drastically increased my energy and my hope. I am still prac...
Do you struggle to detach your emotions from your kid's emotions when they are going through something hard? Me too! I just want to fix things! Feeling disappointed is hard and can often lead to feelings of failure and sadness. So how can we help our kids (and ourselves) walk through disappointment well?
In this episode, we will talk through HOW we can let kid's struggle with their feelings well while pointing them to the One who i...

Are you battling bickering in your home? Do you find yourself breaking up petty arguments among your children? Do you find yourself saying things like, "Why can't you all just get along?" or "Let it go!" or "It's not a big deal. Just move on." Do you find yourself wanting to pull your hair out when your kids start to bicker with each other? Me too!
Bickering is arguing or making a big deal over little things or things that rea...
Do you or your children struggle with worrying excessively over things? I remember many nights when my girls were newborns where I would stay up all night consumed with worry and anxiety over their wellbeing. I still often get consumed by the anxiety tornado that swirls around in my mind when situations or circumstances feel out of my control.
In Philippians 4:6, we are told to not worry about ANYTHING. How is that even possibl...
Our world is filled with so much evil and sadness that it makes me want to run for the hills and hide my kids from having to encounter any of it! However, that's not what we are called to do. I believe parenting takes on different stages as our kids age. We are called to first shield, then protect, and then teach our kids to fight (or discern) the world around them. So how do we do this while protecting their hearts and minds? How ...
Life can be disappointing especially when God given dreams just aren't coming true. Today on the podcast, I share personally about my lifelong struggle with wondering and fighting to stay present where I have been planted. It can lead to doubt, frustration, and discouragement. However, what if we are missing out on exactly where God has us to make an impact in this season? How can we shift our perspective to be kingdom focused ...
The little years of parenting are exhausting and hard. Being in a season of waiting on "what you really want to do" is hard. Being single while longing for marriage is really hard. Working a job that you don't love while waiting for the career you dream of is hard! We all have seasons of life that are easy to wish away because they are hard.
I remember when my girls were 7, 5, 2, and 3 months old. I was in the t...
Join me on the podcast this week as we talk about what it means to be wise! I tell my girls all the time that you can be really smart but really unwise. Here's what I want you to soak in...Wisdom is a deep understanding that the world isn’t always right, but God’s ways are. Psalm 111:10 shows us the way to wisdom. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his instructions have good insight."...
Most of my life, I think I had the wrong picture of God in my head. When I thought of God, I thought of all the Old Testament fire, distance between his people and himself, and I think we sometimes just stay there in our view of God. Can you relate?
That's not all of who God is! He is actually approachable! He smiles over you. He sent Jesus so that he could be near to you!! You can Walk in with Your Head Held High!

If you want to be in God's word but you struggle to find time or motivation....THIS IS FOR YOU!!! This podcast is taking a turn to those of you who are BUSY with life get in the WORD!! You CAN be busy and still find time for Jesus. Actually I think that busyness should be the REASON why we make time to be in His Word.
My goal is to help busy women -Know His Word, Be filled with grace, Walk in power!
So join me today as we set...
It's time..to choose Revelation over Resolutions this year. If you are anything like me, I look back over many of my so-called resolutions for the past year, and there are many that I didn't accomplish. In the past, this has led me to feelings of failure and disappointment in myself. This is NOT how God has called us to live! He cares about our goals, but He cares about His purposes and our hearts more. What if 2024 was the...
Don't let the title of this podcast fool you. No one is asking you to give up your children. I don't believe that God would ever ask us to do that either, but today we are talking about how there was one parent in the Bible who WAS asked to give up his child and the faith it took to trust God in that moment.
The truth is that we face a lot of unknown as parents. Our kids grow up and become increasingly independent, and th...
Today we are getting real with one of...if not THE darkest moments in my motherhood journey. I was lower than low.
The truth is that I know this won't be my last dark moment in life. It's taken me almost 4 years to wrestle with this moment, and what God taught me through it.
Funny enough, healing has come through studying the life of another mom in the Bible that had some dark moments as a mom. God CARES about our paren...
So I shared with you all that I was starting my 75 Hard Journey. I actually ended up quitting, but it's probably not for the reasons you think. I am walking away from this feeling like I had a huge win in my thought process and also in my body.
Sometimes we have to have the discipline to let go of "good things" to receive what God's best for us in the moment is.
