Summary

On the twenty fourth episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast the hosts (Adam Griffin and Cassie Bryant) talk about motherhood with author, podcaster, and mother, Emily Jensen from Risen Motherhood. Questions we talked about in this episode:

One of the reasons we wanted to talk with you on our Mother’s Day episode is that a few years ago you wrote an absolutely beautiful book, Risen Motherhood. For those who have not read the book, can you tell us what it is about and why you wrote it?
You also have a really fantastic podcast by the same name, Risen Motherhood. What led to the idea to minister to moms as you do?
Which of the chapters that you wrote is most precious to you? Does any one of them stand out?
What are the words that you feel like you find yourself needing to hear over and over again as a mom yourself?
How has being a mom shaped your view of God’s love?
What are the common struggles and challenges that you think Christian moms are facing in this generation?
Would you mind giving us a glimpse into what that has looked like for you and your husband?
What are the truths in God’s word that you really cling to as a mother?
If you got to sit down with a brand new mom and give her some gospel wisdom as she is just getting started on this journey, what could you say that would really encourage her?
Do you have any words of challenge or words of encouragement that you wish dads out there could hear and believe for their family?

Some of our favorite quotes from Emily in this episode:

“A lot of our questions in motherhood come down to matters of conscience and matters of freedom that take a lot of wisdom and discernment and prayer as we do life with other people. It’s not something that has a cookie cutter answer.” - Emily Jensen
“It’s so tough and I see it more and more every year. There is so much pressure to be everything and to do everything well...It’s just crippling. It’s so good that the gospel answers that pressure.” - Emily Jensen
“Where are there some older women who can fill these gaps and teach us these things we don’t know? Hopefully the church.” - Emily Jensen

0:12.7	Hey, this is Adam Griffin, and before I introduce you to our spectacular guest, let me first introduce my lovely co-host.
0:20.1	If there was a Richardson, Texas Mother's Day parade, she would be, no doubt in my mind, the Grand Marshal. You know her. Mrs. Cassie Bryant. How are you doing today, Cassie?
0:29.1	Oh, well, I just ate a muffin. I feel like every episode, you're either having coffee or a muffin or some kind of breakfast item.
0:56.6	We need to get sponsored by a muffin. It was the last muffin on the counter, and I knew all three of my daughters are going to get home from school, and they're going to fight over it. So I figured I would just do them a solid and eat the muffin for them. There's a large percentage of motherhood that's just eating the good food before your kids get home from school. Exactly. There's also a large percentage of just eating their leftovers.
1:02.4	Well, speaking of motherhood, what a distinct honor to have with us on today's episode,
1:07.5	a very, very influential mother herself, but also an author and a fellow podcaster.
1:12.6	Yeah. And one half of the incredible risen motherhood dynamic duo, Miss Emily Jensen. How you doing today, Emily? Thanks for being on with us. Oh, I'm doing great. Thanks for that
1:17.0	incredible introduction. Man, I wish, you know, sometimes my kids could see what I do because, you know,

1:29.7	I'm like the Friday lunch lady and the mom who drives a FedEx looking van and the family

1:42.5	rolling out? Oh, man. Oh, man. What is on repeat? Okay, so there's one by, I think, Toby Mac, and it's called Help is on the Way.
1:51.6	Oh, great. Yeah, is that the kind of number one right now? My kids are always asking for, we don't talk about Bruno. And I'm like, oh, yes, that's constant right now in our car.
1:59.9	We went through with Bruno phase, but I'm always on the hunt for really exciting, fun, energetic songs that have decent lyrics.
2:08.7	Yes.
2:09.3	Because our kids just love music and jumping on the trampoline to music and playing football to music.
2:15.7	So anytime I can get one that's upbeat that we can all listen to. Well, that's why we wanted to have you on. When are you and Laura dropping your first album? You're wrapping. You don't have Motherhood and Hip-Hop. Like Hood, Capital Hood, Motherhood, Hip-Up album. Oh, man. I have so, I have negative musical talents. So negative.
2:35.7	Cassie, any big plans for Mother's Day this weekend?
