Summary

Motherhood is loud. With days full of urgent needs, it can be difficult to complete any task, not to mention the challenge of finding a time to be alone with God. But this is exactly what moms really need! Moments to linger over a refreshing truth or be reminded of who they really are in God's eyes. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss the importance of "making time" for our most important relationship, including practical tips for getting in God's word (even when it's noisy or chaotic). Listen in, and be encouraged to drop your shame and run back to the Father who loves you.

* In this show, we talk about our new jingle - we've since updated all previous episodes for consistency.

0:47.0	Such a fun improvement. We've got to be back very helpful critique that our jingle was a little bit.
0:59.2	Not as peppy as we are, I guess, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. So we took the plunge about a new little jingle
1:06.6	and hopefully you guys like it and it reflects us a little bit more. We're really excited about it.
1:11.2	I literally can't help but dance every time I hear it. And I had my kids help me pick it out and I

1:40.9	term. Of course, if you're a mom, you're like, what do you mean quiet time? Because I'm pretty sure
1:47.4	I get almost none of that. And when I do, I'm like sleeping or watching a TV show.
