Summary

What happens when you’ve had a Proverbs life - following the rules and making the right choices -  but then you wake up to find yourself living in Ecclesiastes where life is painful and doesn’t quite make sense? It’s easy for us to think we can do and achieve - that if we just get the right formula we’ll unlock an easy life replete with God’s blessings and perfect family photos.  Through her own story of God’s provision through heartache and uncertain circumstances, Kim Sorgius encourages us to lean in and really know the Lord in difficult times. Not just to know about him, not to search his word for what the plan is, but to search it for Him. She wants our paradigm to shift and for us to embrace that “the beauty of life isn’t found in perfect circumstances…[but] in faith.” 

Kim has a deep desire for us to both experience and pass that sturdy faith onto our children. Born from the difficulty (and faithfulness) of single motherhood is her blog and online store, Not Consumed, where she has created Bible studies and products to help you engage the scripture with your kids. Join us to hear Kim’s incredible story and to be encouraged as you work to share your faith in meaningful ways.

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.

I'm your host Heather McBadian and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you

and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.

And in this episode number 356, I am bringing Kim Sorgas onto the show.

0:31.4

I knew of him, I knew God, I could tell you all the Bible trick to things you wanted to know,

0:37.0

but I didn't actually know who he was and I found out the hard way that the beauty and

0:45.2

purpose really in life is not like the perfect circumstances, it's not like all the things

0:50.6

that you're looking for, it's actually knowing him.

0:54.1

That's daring to know him, daring to have enough faith to say, you know what, I trust you,

0:59.5

Lord, with this thing.

1:02.0

I originally asked Kim to come on the podcast to teach us how to get our kids engaged

1:09.2

in wanting to study God's word or how do we even do this thing where we disciple our kids.

1:15.0

And what I didn't know was that she would beautifully share her testimony and give us

1:21.8

the why, why it matters that we train our kids in God's word, how she grew up in the church

1:28.3

and although there were aspects of her upbringing that didn't serve her well, that it was the

1:33.0

knowledge of God, the knowing who he was that helped give her a firm place to stand when

1:39.4

her world and her circumstances were anything but perfect.

1:43.4

I mean, you may go to her website, not consumed and think, oh my goodness, she's a amazing

1:48.6

home school mom of five kids and she's writing Bible studies and I don't measure up.

1:54.2

And if that's all you took away, you would miss out on the whole of her story, how she

with one of her kids.
