  • 23. What God Is Really Like: How His Character Brings Peace to Anxious Moms
    2026/04/20

    Do you know God is good in your head, but still struggle to believe it in a hard season?

    Have grief, motherhood anxiety, or painful circumstances ever made God feel distant, silent, or confusing?

    Are you longing to trust God more deeply and find peace by understanding His true character?

    When anxiety gets loud, it can distort more than your thoughts about life — it can distort your view of God. In this episode, Rachel shares a deeply personal story of losing her sister unexpectedly at 19 and how that season challenged everything she thought she knew about God’s goodness.

    You’ll hear how pain, grief, fear, and anxiety can cause us to interpret God through our emotions instead of through Scripture — and why knowing the character of God is so important for Christian moms who want to walk in peace.

    Rachel also unpacks several key attributes of God that bring comfort in anxious seasons, including His compassion, sovereignty, unchanging nature, holiness, and goodness. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does God feel far?” or “How do I trust God when life hurts?” this conversation will help you renew your mind with biblical truth and remember who God really is.

    If you are an anxious Christian mom who wants to grow closer to God, trust Him more in motherhood, and stop letting fear define your thoughts, this one is for you.

  • 22. Why You Feel Like You’re Failing as a Mom—and the Truth You Need to Hear
    2026/04/17

    Do you ever feel like you’re failing as a mom after one hard moment with your child?

    Are you carrying mom guilt, motherhood overwhelm, or the pressure to do everything perfectly?

    Have you been stuck in shame, wondering what God says when you feel like you’re not enough as a mom?

    If you’ve ever walked away from a hard parenting moment feeling embarrassed, defeated, or like you’re just not doing a good enough job, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about why so many Christian moms feel like they’re failing in motherhood, how exhaustion, comparison, and unrealistic expectations fuel mom guilt, and what Scripture says when shame tries to define you.

    Rachel shares a real story from traveling home with her 3-year-old on an airplane and opens up about the pressure, embarrassment, and internal spiral that so many moms know so well. You’ll be reminded that one hard moment does not define your motherhood, that condemnation is not from God, and that faithful motherhood matters more than perfect motherhood.

    This episode will encourage the anxious Christian mom who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, and weighed down by guilt to trade shame for grace, perfection for connection, and pressure for the truth of God’s Word.

    If you’re a Christian mom battling anxiety, overwhelm, or mom guilt, this episode will encourage your heart in a powerful way.

    In this episode, I share real-life motherhood moments—from a simple dinner prayer to a sweet moment with my toddler—that reveal how deeply our kids are absorbing faith in the ordinary rhythms of our home.

    We’ll also walk through biblical truth from Deuteronomy, Ephesians, and 2 Timothy, and what they teach us about spiritual motherhood, spiritual warfare, and generational faith.

    Plus, I’ll give you a simple, practical tool you can start using today to intentionally bring God into your everyday moments with your children.

    Mama, you are not failing.

    God is using your faithfulness—even in the small things—to shape the next generation.

    Do you still feel anxious even though you trust God?

    Do you want to know what the Bible says about anxiety, overthinking, and trusting God?

    If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I trust God… so why do I still feel anxious?”—this episode is for you.
