38: Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler on the Scaffolding for Faithfulness

What does it look like to build a sustainable life as a mother? I talk with Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler for more.

Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler are in the trenches of motherhood, right alongside their readers. With a combination of accessibility, relatability, and solid Biblical knowledge, Emily and Laura have a knack for simplifying complex Biblical truths, revealing how they relate and apply to everyday life. As the co-founders of the Risen Motherhood ministry, and co-hosts of the chart-topping podcast, God has consistently and powerfully used the voices of these two moms as a vehicle to captivate women around the world with the gospel. As sister-in-laws, Emily and Laura both live in central Iowa with their families.

ONE SMALL STEP

Set a timer to read your bible every day for Lent. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 30… whatever it is try out a new habit.

Also, consider using your imagination as you read. Maybe you imagine yourself into one of the stories of healing in one of the Gospels. Where do you need healing? How is God meeting you?

Let me know how it goes — tag me on social media at @aahales or #findingholypodcast. I’d love to hear!
