We're so thankful for the support of Moody Publishers.

Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job, and the next we feel like the worst mom on the planet,

which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments.

So, mama, whether you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find true, encouragement, and laughter here.

This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome back to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I'm Emily, and I'm excited to share a little bit about today's special show.

Laura and I have personally experienced the many challenges that Motherhood brings for our bodies,

and we've had to grapple with them in light of all that God's words says about our identity and purpose.

Since many of you have heard us talk about this on the show before, or you've read the chapter I wrote on postpartum body image in the Risen Motherhood book,

we found it was time to invite some other friends to share what they've learned about this topic.

Stay tuned as Andrea Burke, Jill Atogway, Maggie Combs, Ruth Simons, and Betsy Gomez share vulnerable stories of God's work in their heart and the area of body image.

If you enjoyed this episode or any of the many others we've produced, please consider leaving us a rating and review on iTunes.

Laura and I read and appreciate them all. We love hearing stories about how God has used this podcast and the whole Risen Motherhood Ministry to help you understand and apply the gospel.

Before we jump in, we'd love to quickly introduce these ladies to you. We know this is going to go super fast,

so if you want to find anything we mention here, we'll list additional information on our show notes in the order each person shared.

Andrea Burke is the director of Women's Ministry at Grace Road Church. She writes and teaches regularly for women and also lends a voice to cultural issues by co-hosting the Good Enough Podcast.

Jill Atogway is the woman behind the popular lifestyle blog, Gold and Graphite. Jill is also an artist and writer.
