Summary

You know that time of the day, because it's marked by a series of recurring events: If you have a baby, they start fussing. If you have toddlers, they start begging for snacks and clinging to your legs. If you have a preschooler, they are bored with all the toys in the whole house. And you? You're exhausted! Oh yeah, and there is still food that needs to be made, a bunch of stuff to clean up, and several hours before bedtime. It's this time of day where most of us crumble (even those of us who were previously in a great mood). But do we have to respond this way? What if our hope in Jesus transformed our response? In today's episode, Emily and Laura talk about how a mom can do more than "just survive" until the end of the day! Because our hope isn't in a peaceful house, but in a person.

0:00.0	Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job and the next we feel
0:09.8	like the worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel
0:14.9	to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama, whether
0:20.9	you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find true,
0:25.9	encouragement and laughter here. This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.
0:37.8	Well, hey guys, welcome to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I'm Emily Jensen,
0:42.4	here with my sister-in-law Laura Whiffler. Hey guys, yeah, it's a today before we get started
0:47.7	on our awesome topic. We just wanted to respond. We had some great feedback from you guys,
0:53.5	which we love feedback. Yes, we love it. But one of the things we've heard is you wish our show
0:58.0	was longer, which we're totally humbled that you'd want to listen to. Quite flattering. Yeah,
1:02.5	flattered, exactly. But just wanted to share with you guys real quick why we have kind of chosen
1:09.6	the format that we have. And that is primarily because it's just accessible for moms and it's
1:16.0	something that they can listen to. You guys can listen to in a short period of time while you're doing
1:21.6	a quick errand or you are doing a quick chore. And it also is just a great way for a
1:27.4	Lord and I to practice being succinct and trying to really get the truths across that we think
1:33.1	are really important. And we know that the more we talk, the more room there is for error.
1:37.8	And so we also just want to be wise in our words. But we totally hear you guys that we don't cover
1:46.4	everything that we could cover in each episode. So if you are wanting to hear more, we do have
1:52.0	some options for you. We are trying to offer some videos on Periscope. I think we're at Risen
1:59.1	Motherhood and Facebook. We also have some videos on there. Generally, we'll try to talk about
2:05.6	our topic for the week. And then we also push out a lot of articles on our social media. So
2:11.6	if you're following us on Twitter and Facebook, you can find a lot of resources that talk
