Description

All moms are working moms. We’ve each been called by God to love our families, train up our children, and use our gifts and abilities to glorify him in our unique situations. For some moms, this means they work exclusively in the home. For other moms, this means they work in and out of the home. In this episode, Nikki Daniels, wife, mom of three, and Assistant Headmaster of Advancement at Monte Vista Christian School, reminds us that God values us in every role he calls us to. No matter where we spend our days, our call is to be faithful with what he’s given us. The gospel will always meet a mom where she’s at and offer her the sweet freedom of a woman – not just a mom – rooted in Christ.   RM APPLY QUESTIONS VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: Having It All at Work and Home - Nikki Daniels, TGC Every Woman’s Call to Work - Abigail Dodds, Desiring God Women, Work, and Our Crisis of Identity - Carolyn McCulley, Desiring God  Will You Still Work When the Baby Is Born? - Macy English, TGC Women, Trade Self-Worth for Awe and Wonder - Jen Wilkin, Desiring God Finding Your Identity in Christ Looks Like Death - Trillia Newbell, Rosaria Butterfield & Blair Linne, TGC Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work - Tim Keller  What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done - Matthew Aaron Perman Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God's Will - Kevin DeYoung The Theology of Identity with Matt Lantz - Hunter Beless, Journeywomen Podcast  For More: To subscribe: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe.

Thanks for supporting this ministry!       This fall, the RM team will be experimenting with adding discussion questions to serve as a launch point for further conversation. Our hope is that these questions will encourage you to dig deep and see how the gospel transforms motherhood. Discussion Questions: Think about all of the seasons you’ve experienced as a mother. Think about the seasons of your sisters and closest friends. Are there wildly different experiences, even in your own relationships? Most likely. While everyone is living a unique life, the one thing we can all relate to is the pursuit of glorifying God by serving our families well in the season we’re in right now (Eph. 2:10). Rather than compare ourselves to one another – which leads to mutual insecurity – let’s enjoy the freedom and grace Christ offers us. Our purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, and that looks different for every mom. With our access to social media, parenting books, blogs, and more, moms need a strong, gospel-centered filter to separate the truth from the falsehoods. The world will always tell us what we should be doing or what our kids really need, but we want to honor God’s standards in our parenting. How do you grow a gospel-centered filter to discern truth in a world of personal opinions? Saying no to the world’s ideas of motherhood in order to say yes to God’s design for motherhood will be costly. Thankfully, we do not need to fear man’s judgment, because we know that God’s design is always better. How does God describe a mother’s role in scripture? What matters t

A space to remember we’re not alone in our experiences, to be challenged to have joy among the chaos, remember grace covers guilt, and seek the truth of the gospel above all else. This is the podcast for the imperfect mother, still learning, still growing, and still fully recognizing she doesn’t have it all together—but comes everyday to the base of the cross, to seek the one who does.
