Self-Love vs. God-First Love: Finding the Line in This Season

In a world that constantly tells women to “put yourself first,” how do we stay rooted as mothers who love the Lord?

In this episode of Mom of Sons, we explore the fine line between healthy self-care and self-centeredness, and why keeping God first brings order to our confidence, boundaries, and identity.

When God is our first love, everything else finds its proper place.

Let’s talk about what it means to stay surrendered while raising sons in this season.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Sonya Cole, a fellow Harvest Season Mom, for an honest conversation about trusting God through every season of motherhood.

Sonya shares her journey of raising two teenage sons, navigating the end of her 18-year marriage, and finding the courage to start over. After years of building a life in Mississippi, she made the brave decision to relocate to Texas and begin again.

This episode is about more than change. It’s about faith when life doesn’t go as planned. It’s about trusting God in the middle of heartbreak. It’s about showing your children what strength, resilience, and obedience look like in real time.

Sonya opens up about:
• Parenting teenage boys during personal transition
• Leaning on God when stability feels shaken
• Making hard decisions with faith instead of fear
• Finding purpose in a new season of life

If you’re walking through transition, rebuilding after loss, or learning to trust God in unfamiliar territory, this conversation will encourage you.

No matter what season you’re in, God is still faithful.

Episode 3 – When You Don’t Know What to Do: Trusting God as a Mom of Sons

There are moments in motherhood when we simply don’t have the answers.

When our sons are struggling… when decisions feel heavy… when the future feels uncertain… and we quietly whisper, “Lord, what do I do now?”

In this episode of the Mom of Sons Podcast, we talk honestly about those tender seasons and how learning to trust God, not our own strength, becomes our greatest anchor. Beverly Taylor Wells shares encouragement, scripture, and prayer to help moms release fear, lean into faith, and remember that God is walking right beside us every step of the journey.

If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply in need of peace today, this conversation is for you.

Because you are seen, you are chosen!
