Welcome to Fill Your Cup, our 2026 summer series here on the Joyful Mama Podcast. I'm Morgan, and each week this summer we're spending a few minutes together in God's Word, finding encouragement, hope, and refreshment for the motherhood journey.

In this welcome-back episode of the Joyful Mama podcast, host Morgan Ellis returns after a busy school year and introduces her new summer series, "Fill Your Cup." Morgan shares a personal story about finding renewal by watching a beach sunset after an exhausting week. She then explores Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites the weary to find rest in Him. Morgan unpacks the deeper meaning of spiritual rest and offers a practical acronym — REST: Remove distractions, Entrust your season to God, Stay in God's Word, and Talk to God — encouraging mothers to lean on Jesus throughout the summer.

This Week's Scripture:Matthew 11:28-30"Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Love you, mama! ❤️
