Summary

With near-permanent dark circles under our eyes and a perfected diaper changing routine, it's easy to get lost in the haze of the baby stage. Instead of savoring the moment and seeing the opportunities, we rush through, wondering when the "real" parenting is going to start. But God didn't design children with a switch that flips at a certain age, but instead, he begins using mothers to do important gospel-work from the very beginning. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss the important foundations laid for future discipleship during infancy. They also share lots of practical ideas for moms, caregivers, nursery workers, and anyone who wants to be intentional with the moments they share with a sweet little one. God cares for children, and he created babies to retain more than we think.

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.
0:38.5	Well, hello, welcome back to Risen Motherhood. I'm Emily Jensen here with my sister-in-law,
0:43.2	Laura Whiffler. Hello, hello. And before we get started, we wanted to talk about a little
0:49.0	something that would be really encouraging and helpful for us, leaving an iTunes review.
0:53.5	Yeah, I know we always ask about this and we usually try to leave it at the end, but it seems
0:56.8	like all their podcasts, there's a point at the beginning. So we feel like we can do that every
1:00.5	once in a while. And actually, I put together a whole page on how to do an iTunes review and a
1:06.2	rating and even had a subscribe to a podcast. So we are going to have those up on our website,
1:10.5	RisenMotherhood.com because we have heard from many of you, hey, I want to leave a review,
1:14.6	but I don't know how or it seems too hard. It is not hard. I absolutely promise if you know how
1:19.8	to use Facebook or email or anything, you can't do it. So, you know, we just really desire to
1:26.6	reach the gospel message about Motherhood to as many moms as possible. And that is the best way
1:31.4	to do it. Like if you think about Amazon reviews and how those work or maybe you read reviews before
1:36.0	you buy clothing or anything like that, that's what people are doing before they listen to podcasts.
1:39.9	So if you have already done that for us, we just want to say a massive thank you. Like, so here's
1:45.7	really appreciate it. And we have just loved reading some of those things. And ultimately, this
1:50.6	isn't about Laura Emily. We really hope that all of you are feeling like the show is really about
