  • You Aren’t Alone in Your Motherhood, God Gave You a Guide: EP 215

    You Aren’t Alone in Your Motherhood, God Gave You a Guide: EP 215
    May 4 2026

    It’s here. The finale. And yes — we finally dropped the jingle.

    To close out the Bible Moms season Kate and Rebecca recap every single woman they’ve covered this season, share some of the most moving listener responses from the series, and remind every mom listening of the one thing that ties all 12 stories together: God doesn’t make mistakes, and He placed you exactly where you are on purpose.

    From Eve in the garden to Lydia’s living room — 12 women, hundreds of years of history, and one very consistent God who showed up for every single one of them. And he’s showing up in your home too.

    Oh — and the jingle they’ve been teasing since the beginning of the season? It finally arrived. And it’s catchy. Really catchy.

  • Jesus Had the Heart of a Mom First: EP 214

    Jesus Had the Heart of a Mom First: EP 214
    Apr 27 2026

    We’re in the home stretch — and this episode might be the most unexpected one yet.

    As the Bible Moms series winds down, Kate and Rebecca play the most fun trivia game of the season (Jochebed’s theme song is Let It Go and we will not be taking questions), before landing on the woman — or rather, the Person — behind every mother’s heart.

    In Luke 13, Jesus compares himself to a hen gathering her chicks under her wings. That image didn’t come from nowhere. The longing you feel to pull your kids close, to protect them, to keep them safe? Jesus had it first. And he hardwired it into you.

    In This Episode

    • Bible Moms trivia that will make you want to binge the whole series
    • Luke 13: what Jesus reveals about his own heart through the image of a mother hen
    • Why your instinct to gather, protect, and intercede for your kids mirrors the heart of God
    • What to do when your kids walk into something you can’t control
    • Psalm 91 as a prayer for every overwhelmed mom
    • What’s coming this summer: Summer in Psalms

    Scripture Luke 13 — Jesus laments over Jerusalem; the hen and her chicks Psalm 91:1–4 — shelter, feathers, wings, and faithful promises

    What’s Next Summer in Psalms is coming — a new seasonal series to keep you tethered to the Word all summer long. Stay tuned.

  • God Didn’t Wait for Her to Quit Her Job | Lydia of Philippi EP: 213

    God Didn’t Wait for Her to Quit Her Job | Lydia of Philippi EP: 213
    Apr 20 2026
    Is the holiest, best Christian mom a stay at home mom? Depending on your context, this may be the messaging you have heard and maybe struggled with. It might be that you love your job, you need to help your family financially, or you are a better mom when you work outside of the home. In this episode of the Bible Moms series, Kate and Rebecca travel to Greece, literally and biblically, to meet Lydia of Thyatira: a wealthy, immigrant entrepreneur, a dealer of purple cloth, and the woman whose home became the first church in all of Europe. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can use your ordinary life, your career, your open door, your willingness to just show up, Lydia’s story is your answer. And if you’ve ever felt the sting of the working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate, this episode will settle something in you. Because God didn’t wait for Lydia to close her business before He opened her heart. Her influence and resources were the very things that God used to reach a people group and provide the space for them to meet as a church. TAKEAWAYS FOR MOMS God opens hearts that are faithfully showing up. Lydia was already meeting, already praying, already seeking — and God met her there. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Keep showing up.The working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate is not a Bible debate. Lydia was a businesswoman, an entrepreneur, and an immigrant — and God never asked her to be otherwise. The question scripture asks is: whose kingdom are you building with what you have?Your house needs you — and people need your house. Lydia didn’t just get saved; she opened her home. The first church in Europe started because someone was willing to say come in. You don’t need a perfect house. You need an open door.God goes ahead of you to prepare hearts. Before Paul ever arrived at that riverside, God had already been preparing Lydia. You are not the only one working in your children’s and your community’s lives. God goes before you.Faithfulness in your specific arena is holy work. Different arena, same consecration. Whether you’re running a business or running carpool, the question is the same — are you placing it at the feet of Jesus?
