Summary

Have you ever struggled with feeling like a failure or fear of failure, discontentment, anxiety or worry, depression, defeat, or discouragement as a Mother? I truly believe that what we do as Moms, serving our families, and discipling our children, is not only one way you can join God in participating in the Great Commission, but if you are a Mom, it is your calling to do it intentionally for the glory of Christ! That being said, because you are in ministry, the enemy is and will target you.

That’s right, if you are a Mom, you are in a spiritual battle and have an enemy. God uses broken and contrite hearts in ministry (Psalm 51), so being broken vessels is the most useful to God, but we must not stop ministering because of our brokenness. Peter denied Christ 3 times, THREE, and then 50 days later preached the first sermon every given post Jesus’ ascension at Pentacost.

God needs us Moms to be humble, but also filled with the Holy Spirit, courageous and resolute in our mission–unwilling to stop for the sake of the cross! Join me, Angie Tolpin, for some biblical encouragement in our roles as mothers! This is a must listen to!
