Summary

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by anxiety, resentment, or fear in motherhood? You’re not alone. Today Karen and Emily open up about navigating hard seasons—from managing a home alone while your husband is away, to struggling with trust in God when fear creeps in. They dive into real questions from moms who are tired, discouraged, and looking for peace. Grab your coffee, because this one’s packed with encouragement, truth, and a little tough love. ;)

Episode Recap:
7:05 - The world is loud and stressful, but we can have peace because God is with us

9:18 - I feel overwhelmingly resentful toward my husband because the weight of family life is all on me - how can I get through this season?

10:30 - Some seasons are just HARD and you have to persevere

Scripture for Reflection: Matthew 6:26 (NIV)
"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

Questions for Discussion:

  1. When you’re in a hard season, what do you tend to focus on—what’s lacking or what’s good? How can you shift that focus?
  2. What fears are hardest for you to surrender to God? What helps you move toward trust?
  3. Have you seen prayer work miracles in your family? Share if you feel comfortable.
