Summary

We're continuing the Mother's Day Week party by virtually high-fiving all of you AMAZING MAMAS out there—bio moms, adoptive moms, foster moms, step moms, mamas of babies here on earth and mamas of babies in heaven. Aunts, sisters, mentors, care-takers, and those who "mother" others in your life... WE CELEBRATE YOU! We wish every woman who pours herself out all the solitude, pedicures, and coffee in this world. But even if those things aren't at your current disposal, today's episode with Laynie Travis is!
"You can build a mountain of fear or you can build a mountain of faith."
Laynie is the cutest mom of four you've ever seen. She's also a wise teacher, fierce encourager, and downright overcomer—especially when it comes to FEAR. Fear can be joy-sucking. Fear can be paralyzing. Fear can keep us from walking in trusting obedience with our Savior. But Laynie's story and words inspire us to a place of bravery, with a confidence that comes from Christ.
You're going to LOVE this episode. So grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and join us at The Messy Table!

All right, guys, I always want to be honest with you. This episode is particularly messy,

especially behind the scenes, because I had big plans to record with these lovely ladies in
