Building Friendships with Women in Different Seasons: An Interview with Elizabeth Woodson | Ep. 122

Sometimes it feels like “mom world” is another planet. A nursing shield? An all-terrain stroller? Funny-shaped food? It seems easier to build friendships with women in our season of life, but the gospel gives us a bigger picture of community. In this episode, Emily and Laura interview Elizabeth Woodson about building flourishing friendships with women in other seasons of life—particularly singles. Elizabeth is a Bible teacher who writes, teaches, and helps to develop leaders at The Village Church and serves as the Director of Resources for the Sparrow Conference. Christian moms and singles can have the most important thing in common: our faith in Christ. So press in a little deeper with a woman in a different season and enjoy God’s gift of community.   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   MENTIONED ON THE SHOW: Elizabeth Woodson’s website Elizabeth on Instagram & Twitter The Village Church Sparrow Conference 2019 RELATED ARTICLES, RESOURCES, AND CONTENT: Related R|M resources: “God’s Grace Beyond our ‘Mom Tribes,’" - Abby Hummel, Risen Motherhood “The Gospel Comes with a House Key,” - Rosaria Butterfield, Risen Motherhood “When We’re Offended: The Cost of Being a Peacemaker,” - Lauren Weir, Risen Motherhood “Members, Not Measures: A Call to Own One Another’s Joys and Sorrows,” Abbey Wedgeworth, Risen Motherhood “Moms Make Peace Through Christ,” - Emily Jensen, Risen Motherhood Ep. 38, Friendship & Motherhood - Risen Motherhood Ep. 43, Serving Others Right Where You’re At - Risen Motherhood Ep. 55, Hospitality in the Little Years - Risen Motherhood Ep. 65, Finding Your Tribe: Momma, Who is Your Primary Community? - Risen Motherhood Around the internet: Messy Beautiful Friendships: Finding and Nurturing Deep and Lasting Relationships, - Christine Hoover Life Together, - Dietrich Bonhoeffer Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community, - Brett McCracken “6 Costs of Real Friendship,” - Jen Thorn, Christianity Today “Loneliness, Friendship, and the Goodness of God,” - Melissa Kruger, TGC “Woman Enough for Friendship,” - Jasmine Holmes, Fathom Magazine Ep. 17, By Faith with Christine Hoover: On Friendships for Moms with Emily & Laura - By Faith RM APPLY QUESTIONS It’s great to have a close group of mom friends, but God also designed Christian community to include a variety of ages, experiences, and gifts. Women in different seasons of life can have flourishing friendships if we’re willing to find common interests, have honest conversations, and build on our shared love of Christ. We’re made to be in community and to encourage our sisters-in-Christ, and that happens across every season of life. Do you have friendships with women who are in different seasons of life than you? If so, how can you further invest in these friendships? If not, can you think of any women who share similar interests with you in other areas? Consider inviting one of them to join you for coffee, bread baking, running, etc. There are common threads in all our lives. We all experience pain, loss, and difficulty; and we all experience joy, thankfulness, and hope. The gospel meets us where we are in our different situations and enables us to mourn and rejoice with one another. How is a shared love of Christ the foundation for friendship? How does it connect you to other sisters-in-Christ who may be experiencing different life events than you? Moms and singles can be tempted to run away from hard relationships, but God calls us to consider one another as more important than ourselves. What would it look like to approach a difficult friend with grace? How can you find out how to love that person well? If we want to be true friends, we have to open up our lives to others—which means opening our homes too. What are your expectations for the “right conditions” to be hospitable? Are these biblical requirements or heart idols? How can you open up space this week to invite a single woman over? All women are told to have spiritual children in the faith regardless of our life seasons. We’re to steward the information God gives us by pouring into a younger sister-in-Christ. Is discipleship a regular part of your life? How can you make time for it and who might you “do life” with? FOR MORE: To subscribe: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe.

Can You Make Any Life You Want? | Ep. 121

Want to start a business? Wondering if you should start traveling for your job or pick up an extra shift? Trying to bend and stretch your schedule to make all your opportunities work? Being able to consider new work responsibilities, ministry roles, or creative endeavors isn’t the norm for everyone, but when we have a choice, it’s a huge privilege to steward. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss how to evaluate new or changing career or ministry opportunities. We’re made to work and use our gifts to pass on the legacy of faith in all we do. By tuning our thoughts to God’s word, we can pursue holiness, count the cost of each decision, and lay down our lives for others.

When Mom & Dad Can't Make Date Night Happen | Ep. 120

Regular date nights are a joy. We love getting out of the house and away from the kids!  But does a flourishing God-honoring marriage require this regular habit? If you and your husband are in an overwhelming season and you’re not “succeeding” at date night, this one’s for you. In this episode, Emily and Laura dig into a different perspective on the “modern date night.” Instead of putting our hope in a single night out with our husbands, God teaches us to cherish and serve one another daily. Date nights aren’t a guarantee, but God’s covenant-keeping grace is, and he can sustain our marriage, even when we don’t get a date night.   RM APPLY QUESTIONS   VIEW TRANSCRIPT     MENTIONED ON THE SHOW: Ep. 109, Ask Us Anything!: Fall 2018 Edition - Risen Motherhood Journeywomen Podcast with Hunter Beless Journeywomen on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter Hunter Beless on Instagram Hudson Taylor: Gospel Pioneer to China - Vance Christie *Laura’s book recommendation Risen Motherhood on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter RELATED ARTICLES, RESOURCES, AND CONTENT: “Don’t Put Your Hope in Date Night” Emily Jensen & Laura Wifler, TGC - Featured article written in conjunction with this week’s show Ep. 05, Marriage & Motherhood - Risen Motherhood Ep. 35, Putting Your Marriage First: Give Him More Than the Leftovers - Risen Motherhood Ep. 62, When Your Husband Works Long Hours - Risen Motherhood “Our Greatest Ally: God’s Grace for Marital Intimacy” - Laura Hardin, Risen Motherhood “Cultivating a Healthy Marriage as New Parents” - Quina Aragon, Risen Motherhood “Tell Your Husband You Love Him” - Laura Wifler, Risen Motherhood “Practical Ways to Love Your Husband Who Works Long Hours” - Risen Motherhood “When Littles Make You Want to Check Out in Marriage” - Risen Motherhood The Meaning of Marriage, Tim Keller “On Disappointment in Marriage” Trillia Newbell [Video], For The Church “Susannah Spurgeon Lived for Christ Without Leaving Her Home” Christine Hoover “10 Ways to Grow Your Marriage While Having Young Kids” Gavin Ortlund, TGC “Lay Down Your Life for a Lasting Marriage” Jen Oshman “The Purpose and Privileges of Marriage” Garrett Kell, For The Church FOR MORE: To subscribe: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe.

"But This is Just My Personality!": How Christ Changes Us | Ep. 119

Am I an Enneagram 3? A Princess Belle? An INFP? Wait, what are you?! It doesn’t matter if it takes 10 minutes and 100 pop-ups, we’ll click through to learn something new about our personalities. In this episode, Emily and Laura talk about why we love learning about ourselves and what role personality profiles should play in our mothering. Digging into who we are can be useful, but our personalities aren’t the full definition of who we are in Christ. God is making all things new, changing and transforming every part of us—personalities included—into the image of Jesus.   RM APPLY QUESTIONS   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   RELATED ARTICLES, RESOURCES, AND CONTENT: Risen Motherhood on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter “Personality Assessments and the Wondrous Knowledge of Being Known” Lore Ferguson Wilbert, Lifeway “I’m Not an Expert on Myself” Jen Wilkin, Family Life “Personality Tests and Abiding in Love” Liz Wann, Morning By Morning “Personality Tests: Knowing God Through Knowing Ourselves” Nate Claiborne, Christian Pop Culture “What God Thinks About You” John Rinehart, Desiring God “Stop Using Your Personality Test as a Crutch” Michael Kelley, For The Church “The FAQs: What Christians Should Know About the Enneagram” Joe Carter, TGC “What the Bible Says About Our Identities in Christ” Melissa Kruger, Megan Hill, Jen Pollock Michel [Video], TGC For More: To subscribe: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe.

Gray Areas: Personal Conscience in Motherhood | Ep. 118

It’s our first episode of 2019, and we’re talking about the little voice in your head. The one that pipes up when you feel guilt over letting your kids eat too many cookies or sets off an alarm bell when you watch something questionable. All of us have one, but it’s not the Holy Spirit. What is it exactly? In this episode, Emily and Laura start the conversation on personal conscience. God gave each of us a conscience to help discern what’s right and wrong in the everyday “gray” areas of life. While it can be dulled by sin, God recalibrates our consciences through the study of his word and fellowship with believers, so we can do all things in faith with love.

“Mommy, Can I Watch a Show?”: Screen Time & the Gospel | Ep. 117

Screen time can be a hot topic. We wonder, “Is there a formula for the right amount of TV time?” “Is 30 minutes or 45 minutes holier?” “Do you think my kids will be quiet if I put on a show and hide in the kitchen?” But what we need to ask is, “What’s going on in my heart?” In this episode, Emily and Laura share gospel hope for two issues in many moms’ hearts: guilt and fear. Whether you’ve used screen time to avoid the craziness of the day or created a system of rules to guarantee a particular outcome, the gospel meets you there with wisdom and hope.   RM APPLY QUESTIONS   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: Risen Motherhood on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter “Wisely Using Technology” Tony Reinke on Journeywomen “ERLC Panel discussion: Screen time and family time” Trillia Newbell, Jason Thacker, Ben Stuart, Jamie Ivey, Tim Blackmon The Tech-Wise Family, Andy Crouch This is Our Time, Trevin Wax “The Tension of Technology: Hope and Fear in the Digital Age” Jason Thacker 12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You, Tony Reinke “Are We Worrying Too Much About Kids on Their Phones?” Trevin Wax “Give Your Children All of Your Attention.

Leaning into Grace: An Interview on Faithful Motherhood with Debbie Martens | Ep. 116

Moms have a lot of work to do and the exhaustion of our responsibilities in the home, the church, and the community, often leave us wanting to lean into despair and defeat... But God uses the work before us to show us his sufficiency and unending love in our weakness so we can lean into grace. In this episode, Emily and Laura interview Debbie Martens about God’s faithfulness and grace in motherhood. Debbie is a wife, mom of seven, and grandmother of six who is actively involved in her local church and community. We’re called to be faithful to God in the work before us, but even when we fail, God is faithful to teach and sustain us in every season of motherhood.   RM APPLY   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: Risen Motherhood on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter R|M Abide Method Ep. 49, When Mama Gets Mad, Part 1: What’s Under the Surface?

When Motherhood Brings Deep Suffering | Ep. 115

We experience daily hardships in motherhood that weigh on us—difficult decisions, potty training, sleeplessness, and more. But sometimes we experience deeper, more profound suffering that makes us cry out, “Why God?” In this episode, Emily and Laura offer gospel encouragement for those in the midst of deep suffering. Suffering is different for everyone, but scripture offers unshakeable hope in every situation. Since God didn’t excuse himself from suffering, one day—through Christ—our suffering will give way to joy.

Wish List Ignored? Loving the Giver More Than the Gift | Ep. 114

You crafted the perfect Christmas list for your kids—a blend of beautiful, educational, practical, and personal. All will be well when they open their pre-approved number of acceptable gifts. That is, until the gift-giver enters the scene and breaks all the rules. In this episode, Emily and Laura flip the gift-giving conversation to ask, “Mama, what’s going on in your heart?” When we remember God’s love to us through Christ, we can see the gift-giver through the lens of grace as we consider our response. Let the richness of Jesus's birth set a tone of gratefulness in your home this gift-giving season.   RM APPLY QUESTIONS   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: R|M Advent 2018 Ep. 74, “Grandparents and the Gospel: Why Do Grandma & Grandpa Get Under Your Skin?” Ep. 75, “Grandparents and the Gospel: Give Them Grace” “Gospel Thinking: How Do We Decide Our Family Traditions?” - Eric Schumacher “FAQ: Should I Curtail Grandparent Gift-Giving” - Jen Wilkin “Gentle Leading Advent: The Gifts of God” - Trish Shank “X-Ray Questions” - David Powlison “Christmas: It’s All About the Gifts” - Melissa Kruger “The Guilt and Grace of Christmas Giving” - Leslie Schmucker Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, - Kristen Welch For More: To subscribe: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe.

Trusting God with Our Children: An Interview on Faithful Motherhood with Nancy Guthrie | Ep. 113

Every moment in motherhood is an opportunity to trust God. Through suffering, hardships, and difficulties, we have to answer the question, “Is the gospel really true?” In this episode, Emily and Laura interview Nancy Guthrie about faithfulness and hope in motherhood. Nancy is a wife, mom, author, and Bible teacher who experienced deep suffering when she lost two children. We can fret, strategize, and lose sleep over many worries in motherhood, but when we trust God is sovereign and faithful, we’ll see the gospel meets us in every situation.
