Description

 As mothers, all day long we are surrounded by needy people and the majority of us get to the end of the day and feel exhausted. If you are a young mom like me, right now your primary calling is inside your home –to care for and nurture these adorable and exhausting small humans. But, there are also lots of needy people outside of our homes. And our Savior, the one who captivates our hearts and our minds and who we should most be desiring to emulate, seems to care a lot about the least of these. So how do we balance the very real constraints of motherhood with the also very real needs of the world around us?Should we feel shame and condemnation if we don’t have the capacity to do the level of ministry we might desire? Or, as young mothers do we get a “pass” on caring for others because we are so spent caring for littles? How do we care for others outside of our homes wisely recognizing that we are limited creatures? And what role does the sovereignty of God play in all this?Listen in for an edifying conversation with the lovely Joanna Beasley, --mom to three, church planter in a low-income part of Oklahoma, and Southeastern Seminary grad, about thinking well about serving others when we are spent and tired ourselves.

<p>Hello and welcome to Delighted Motherhood, a podcast devoted to delighting ourselves in the Lord and in our calling as moms.</p> <p> </p><p>It's self-evident that motherhood is hard --and in some cases deeply painful. But regardless of circumstances, in Titus 2 Paul instructs young moms to love their families affectionately. The basis for this command comes not from the enjoyableness of the kids, but rather from devotion to and delight in the Lord himself.</p><p> Join Kira Nelson and a host of other moms in delighting in the Lord and in the callings he's given us through exploring a variety of practical topics related to enjoying motherhood. </p><p> Kira is a wife, a homeschool mom to three little boys, a Bible teacher, a seminary student at SBTS, a long-distance runner, a sourdough baker, a tea drinker, and a lover of all things outdoors. Most importantly, she's a Christian who is loved by her Savior and is captivated by His glory every day. </p>
