Summary
As a child, Emily had visions of homemaking that included fresh-baked cookies, fun outings with children, and quiet afternoons of running errands. But after becoming a mom herself, she quickly realized that stay-at-home-motherhood wasn't as simple as she imagined. Without self-discipline, intentionality, and an industrious spirit, she was unable to stay-on-top-of the simplest child-rearing and homemaking responsibilities. In this episode, you'll hear Laura and Emily discuss her journey as a stay-at-home-mom, and what finally helped her view motherhood as an important calling with eternal implications. When the gospel changes our identity, it also changes our mission. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom or not, this episode will challenge you to mother for God's glory and his kingdom purposes.

| 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. |
| 0:37.9 | Well, hello and welcome to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I have my sister-in-law, Emily |
| 0:43.2 | Jensen here. Hello. And today we have another kind of fun special episode for you. I'm actually going |
| 0:49.9 | to be talking to Emily about a way that God has really changed her perspective and transformed |
| 0:56.6 | kind of some of her original views. And so it's sort of an interview show. I'm sure that I won't be |
| 1:02.8 | able to resist talking a little bit and sharing my views. But we are talking about being a stay-at-home mom. |
| 1:09.2 | And one thing I love about Motherhood is that as moms, we're all called to the same end goal and |
| 1:16.1 | we're all called to just live out Motherhood faithfully and light of the gospel and raising our |
| 1:22.0 | children to know and love the Lord. But it looks really different depending on just especially what |
| 1:30.3 | we'll be focusing on today is how you spend your time and where it's spent at. And so we're just |
| 1:35.4 | really excited because I think Emily has really grown and changed in her view in this. And so we're |
| 1:40.0 | going to be kind of, or she's going to be sharing her story about how God's worked in her heart and |
| 1:44.2 | how he's really changed her viewpoint. So I think you'll really enjoy hearing and hopefully many |
| 1:49.0 | of you will be able to relate to her and just kind of, I don't know, figure out a way to further |
| 1:56.0 | apply yourself in Motherhood. So Emily, I will let you finally talk. I'm a little nervous. This is |
| 2:01.6 | like soul-bearing today. I know it's weird to be on the hot sea, isn't it? It is. It's a little |
| 2:07.6 | nerve-wracking. And I think I've ever like told this story in detail to anybody beyond friends. |
| 2:12.7 | Like really good friends. So well perfect today is the day. Okay, so why don't we just like go |
