Summary

In motherhood, we all value different things. Whether it's a clean house, a well-kept schedule, a rockin' postpartum body, a perfectly balanced work/home life, an easy day, an obedient child, a certain type of diet, a frugal budget, or praise for your hard work, all moms have preferences and desires. The problem isn't necessarily with our ideals, but with our hearts. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss the common idols in motherhood (including their own). While we can sometimes be guilty of making good things too important, in Christ we are cleansed from all of our idols, and are set free to worship God.

0:00.0	Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job and the next we feel
0:09.8	like the worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel
0:14.9	to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So mama, whether
0:20.9	you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find true,
0:25.9	encouragement and laughter here. This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.
0:36.1	Well, hey guys and welcome to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I of course have my lovely sister-in-law here, Emily Jensen.
0:42.6	Hi!
0:44.6	And gosh, it is like the middle of summer, which is amazing. And M, do you change up your coffee routine at all in the summertime?
0:54.7	No, I am a black coffee gal every day the whole year. That's really boring, but in the afternoon,
1:04.4	if I need to pick me up, I will take my leftover coffee from the morning.
1:08.9	Oh dear. This is getting bad and I will pour it in over ice and add a little bit of cream
1:14.0	air and pretend like I'm giving myself some. Oh you wild woman! Oh my goodness! Oh, that's bad girl.
1:20.3	It's really bad. It's only on really bad gas. I love making iced coffee and I make it in these huge
1:26.2	batches. And so if you guys are all looking for a new iced coffee recipe, Pioneer Woman's Ice Coffee
1:32.6	is awesome. And she suggests that you make it with sweetened condensed milk. And that is, let me tell
1:40.1	you, a divine treat. And while you can't do it every day or we would have, I would have more of a
1:46.1	mom-bad than I already do. It is still super good. So Emily, you should switch it up and
1:51.5	mix in my iced coffee. I really should. I was intimidated with that recipe because she's got
1:55.0	these giant containers. Yes. And then I'm like, I don't have those. And so I'm like, I definitely see
2:01.2	the one cup of coffee in my coffee maker from this morning. Maybe I'll spice that up a little bit.
2:06.9	That is hilarious. Well, oh man, maybe I gotta come to your house and make you a batch because
2:12.0	girl, you are missing out. And that is very sad afternoon. I'll tell you what. But anyway,
