• Ep 67 // 4 Ways Moms Can Overcome Anxiety: Practical Steps to Find God’s Peace Amidst a Busy Life
    2024/09/17
    Anxiety is something many moms struggle with, but it doesn’t have to control your life. In today’s episode, we’re tackling the difficult topic of anxiety, especially for busy, working Christian moms. Between balancing work, raising kids, managing our homes, and living out our faith, it’s easy for anxiety to creep in unnoticed. But God’s peace is available to you, even in the most overwhelming moments. Join us as we explore 4 practical steps to overcome anxiety and experience God’s peace in your everyday life. Episode Highlights: 1. Acknowledge the Anxiety but Don’t Let It Define You Anxiety is something we all experience, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your faith. Philippians 4:6 reminds us to take our anxious thoughts to God through prayer, knowing we are not meant to carry these burdens alone. Give yourself grace—acknowledge the anxiety, but remember that your identity is not in your worry; it's in being a beloved daughter of God. 2. Finding Peace in God’s Promises Isaiah 26:3 speaks of God keeping us in perfect peace when our minds are fixed on Him. Meditate on God’s promises: He is with you (Deuteronomy 31:6), has good plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and His peace surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Scripture is a powerful tool to combat anxiety. Write down or speak out verses to remind yourself of God’s unshakable truth. 3. Practical Steps to Manage Anxiety as a Christian Mom Start Your Day with Quiet Time: Even 5-10 minutes of prayer or meditation can set a peaceful tone for your day. Breathe and Pause: Practice taking deep breaths and saying a short prayer whenever anxiety creeps in. Don’t Be Afraid to Say No: Set healthy boundaries by saying no to commitments that don’t align with your priorities. Ask for Help: Reach out to your support system. Don’t try to carry the weight alone—God created us to live in community. 4. Leaning on God's Strength 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. When you feel overwhelmed, lean into God’s grace, knowing that it’s okay to feel weak because His strength is sufficient for you. Anxiety doesn’t define you, and it doesn’t have the final say over your life. God’s peace is always available, no matter what you're facing. Through prayer, meditation on God’s Word, and practical steps like setting boundaries and asking for help, you can experience His peace even in the busiest seasons.

    2024/08/20

    In this episode, we tackle a struggle that many working Christian moms face: people-pleasing. While the desire to serve and care for others is deeply rooted in our faith, it can easily turn into a need for approval, leading to burnout, resentment, and a loss of joy. We explore how to break free from the cycle of people-pleasing by understanding our true identity in Christ, setting healthy boundaries, and making decisions that honor God and align with our core values.

      2. Identifying your core values and priorities
      3. Practicing saying "no" with grace
    • The importance of setting and guarding healthy boundaries to protect your time and energy
    • How to stay grounded in your faith and resist the pressure to please everyone

    Practical Takeaways:

    • Focus on living out God's calling for your life, rather than trying to meet everyone else's expectations.
    • Protect your time and energy by setting clear, faith-aligned boundaries.

    Listener Challenge: This week, I challenge you to identify one area in your life where you’ve been saying "yes" out of fear of disappointing others. Pray for the strength to say "no" and trust that God will guide you to make decisions that align with His will for your life.
