Happy Mother's Day!

Motherhood is a God-ordained calling where mothers serve as the first evangelists and Bible teachers in their children's lives. Scripture and history reveal how mothers like Timothy's mother Eunice, Susanna Wesley, and Augustine's mother Monica profoundly shaped their children's faith journeys through intentional spiritual formation.

• Mothers are disciples and disciple-makers, not just caregivers
• Timothy's sincere faith originated with his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois (2 Timothy 1:5)
• Susanna Wesley, mother of 19, dedicated one hour weekly to each child's spiritual development
• Augustine's mother Monica prayed persistently for his salvation despite his rebellious years
• Modern moms face unique challenges with social media comparisons and unrealistic expectations
• Children spend approximately 4,000 hours annually with mothers in early years
• Faithful small moments matter more than Instagram-perfect parenting
• Dads, pastors and church leaders should actively support mothers in their spiritual leadership
• Moms are raising image-bearers who will either impact the world for Christ or be shaped by it
