(F3) Fighting the temptation to think (or expect) that we’ve got it all together as Christian moms… A devotional thought on 1 Corinthians 10.

Episode 79.5 // Friday Faith Followup
 
We’ve been talking this week about the temptation to try to “do it all” as a mom. Which… is impossible. And even more than that, it isn’t at all what God wants (or expects) for us!
 
So let’s pause and take a look at how easily we experience temptation. 
 
On the podcast today, I’m diving into 1 Corinthians 10:11-13 to take a look at what temptations we struggle with as moms, why we struggle with it, and what we can do about it.
 
Let’s dive in.

(F3) What stresses you out? Whatever it is… God’s got it. Can you trust him?

Episode 77.5 // Friday Faith Follow-up
 
When we’re feeling stressed, we tend to get stuck thinking about the things that are stressing us out, and the hard emotions that come with it. 
 
But it is SO MUCH more helpful and encouraging to think instead about the truths God gives us in the Bible. He’s in control. He knows what’s happening. He is good. 
 
Today, join me for a quick devotional look at how we can turn away from the things stressing us out and turn TOWARD God - a God who is good, who is powerful, and who always works things out for good… even when we don’t see it or understand it ourselves.
