We are living in a culture marked by loneliness, isolation, and a deep need for meaningful relationships. Women are surrounded by voices telling them how to live, what to value, and who they should become—but where are the faithful women willing to come alongside the next generation and show them what it looks like to follow Jesus?

In this episode of The Good Portion, Lindsey sits down with Donna Gaines and Teresa Allen for an important conversation about the need for spiritual mothers in the church today.

What is a spiritual mother? Who is called to be one? And what does it actually look like to intentionally invest in the women coming behind us?

Spiritual mothering isn't reserved for a select few women with a particular personality or gifting, and it doesn't require a formal mentoring program. It happens when faithful women choose to open their lives, share what God has taught them, offer biblical wisdom, and intentionally point the next generation toward Christ.

If you're a woman who has walked with Jesus, there is someone coming behind you who needs what God has taught you along the way. And if you're longing for a woman to walk alongside you, there may be someone God has already placed in your path.

The church needs women who are willing to reach across generations. Who are you learning from—and who are you bringing with you?
