Mom·ing
Welcome to Mom•ing. As moms, we believe there’s no better way to be encouraged through motherhood than by connecting with other moms. Oftentimes we can lose our identity in motherhood. The constant exhaustion, piles of dishes and laundry, and the mental gymnastics can leave us feeling like we have nothing left to give, but nothing could be further from the truth. As moms we have been tasked with not only helping to raise the next generation from a Christian worldview, but to also find our individual purpose in the everyday. Join us as we hear from moms just like you. Welcome to Mom•ing.

Disclaimer: Sexual topics will be discussed into today's episode.
Sexuality in our culture is one of the most important topics we face as parents, but sadly, it’s not something that is very openly discussed.

How do we address it when something goes sideways, and what does God say about healthy sexuality?

This world is filled with lots of noise. The culture is constantly screaming different messages at us, and it uses social media platforms, news cycles, celebrities, politicians, and even religious leaders to pound these narratives into our brains. The loudest narratives are often motivated by fear, but as moms we don't have to give into those voices. In fact, the Bible tells us that we have the Spirit of truth living inside of us to help us discern what is true.
