Hey Mama! Have you ever felt like you are struggling getting the results you really want out of life? Life just seems to be happening "to" you, and no matter what you do to make changes in different areas of your life, you still feel STUCK. It's a hard place to be in, and for many Christian mamas, you find yourself living more in victim mode than in the full victory that belongs to you through Christ. In this Season 3 episode, I am sharing what I am learning through my study in Ephesians, and how the armor of God-more specifically, the Helmet of Salvation is the most important piece of armor and share why protecting our minds is the KEY to us fully living in VICTORY!

Wouldn't it be nice if life was full of rainbows and sunshiney days all of the time? Too often, life brings us more trials and messes that we would like. In this part 1 episode of The Mama Collective, Amanda shares her trials through infertility and then a devastating diagnosis with her son, Raphael. One thing is clear, even though you may not see through the storm you are in, Jesus is right there in the middle of it. "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 NIV)

Wouldn't it be nice if life was full of rainbows and sunshiney days all of the time? Too often, life brings us more trials and messes that we would like. In Part 2 of this episode of The Mama Collective, Amanda continues her story through medical mamahood as well as other trials that the family experienced and how God used each of those trials to strengthen her faith and draw her into deeper relationship with Him. If you find yourself in the middle of a trial, big or small, focus your eyes on the One who is in control-even when things around you are not.
