You're listening to the God Center Mom podcast with me, Heather McVanian.

As the mom of four young boys, I know motherhood's hard.

Sometimes I think I make it harder than it needs to be.

By putting myself in the center of things or even my kids,

I forget to place God there and be led by His Spirit.

I also tend to forget that I'm surrounded by God.

He goes before me, he walks with me on the hard days,

and he comes behind me when I make a mistake.

So each week I'll interview someone new

and we'll discuss what it means to be a God Center Mom.

Thanks for listening.

Hey y'all, welcome to the God Center Mom podcast.

Today I am honored to get to share with you the fabulous Kristen Welch.

Kristen has been writing online for a while.

She writes at, we are that family.

She's also a writer at Encourage, and she's traveled with Compassion International.

She is a mom to three, and she is just like,

if you're a mom, she and me, we are just a mom,

but she is doing so much with that just a mom title.

So welcome Kristen to the God Center Mom podcast.

Thank you.

Thank you for being here and sharing your story with us.
