Do you ever keep turning worries over in your mind?

Jenny Ortland knows what that's like.

As a woman myself, many times, I am just rehearsing a difficulty in my mind, trying to

creatively solve it, where what I need to do is verbalize it to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lay it out to him, either in journaling or audibly in prayer.

And once it's out of my mind and into his hands, he gives wisdom on wisdom.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Wogglemoon, author of Choosing

Forgiveness.

It's Tuesday, July 11, 2017.

Yesterday, Nancy began a conversation with our guest, Janie, Ortland. Let's get back to the series, Mishimal Mothering,

recorded before a group of women in our studio. Well, we're talking with Janie Ortland.

She's a pastor's wife. She's the mom of four grown children and 11 grandchildren so far.

And she and Ray lived very busy and full lives, but I love the fact that she has

such a vision for what she calls missional mothering. What do you mean when you say

missional mothering, Janie? By missional mothering, I mean that each one of us who knows the Lord

Jesus Christ is on a mission.

And our mission, when our children are little, is primarily showing them Jesus Christ in all of his beauty and living a life as an example of what it means to follow Jesus Christ.

As those little ones grow up, they find Jesus irresistible, and they want to come to him

themselves.

You know, it's interesting as we were preparing to be together to have this interview.

I, in my reading in the scripture, came, have been going through the book of Deuteronomy,

which has so much to say about this.
