Summary

Motherhood is filled with countless small moments—some joyful, some overwhelming, and many that feel mundane. But what if those tiny moments carried eternal significance? Hosted by Risen Motherhood co-founders Emily A. Jensen and Laura Wifler, this podcast offers gospel-centered encouragement for moms navigating the everyday realities of parenting, faith, and personal growth. With wisdom drawn from their upcoming book, A Million Tiny Moments: Reflections to Refresh a Mom’s Spirit, Emily and Laura share honest conversations, practical insights, and biblical truths to help moms find strength, purpose, and renewal in their daily lives. Whether you’re in the middle of a sleepless night, a chaotic morning, or a quiet moment of reflection, this podcast is here to remind you: every small moment matters in God’s bigger story.
