Connect with Us: Hey, moms! Welcome back to the Gather Moms podcast! We are so excited you’re here with us for our final episode in the Fix Your Face season. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how our faces communicate, and let me tell you, our kids notice everything! So, whether you’re dealing with that dreaded laundry mountain or managing a house full of emotions, it’s time to fix your face and approach it with purpose! Today, we’re diving into how to handle that never-ending to-do list...

Crunchy, silky, scrunchy…who came up with these names!? There are all types of moms and we are talking about all the mom stereotypes in this episode and how they can be helpful and hurtful. Whether you’re a Type A mom, a Type B Mom, or something totally different, you are the mom God created for the kids you have. You don’t need to try and copy what another mom is doing or compare yourself to her. Just like we see with Leah and Rachel from the Bible, moms in competition cause pain and division. ...

Connect with Us: Let’s be real—money can be stressful. Between bills, budgets, and unexpected expenses, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even a little discouraged. And as moms, we carry a lot of responsibility in managing our homes well. But what if instead of stressing over every dollar, we surrendered it to God? Because here’s the truth: Everything we have is already His. And when we truly believe that, we can stop gripping our finances with fear and start handling them with wisdom,...

Connect with Us: https://youtu.be/hn2Acv6e3iU Ladies, we need to talk. How did we get here—where the world tells us what beauty is, and we just go along with it? We question our reflection, chase the latest beauty trends, and somehow believe that if we just find the right skincare routine, the right outfit, or the right workout, we’ll finally feel good about ourselves. But here’s the truth: no amount of contouring or curated Instagram feeds can fill the void that only God can. So, what if we ...

Connect with Us: Married mamas, our husbands need our time, talk, and touch. Our kids can be so persistent with getting what they want and need from us that by the time we get a moment with our husbands, we may feel talked and touched out. There are small, intentional choices we can make to prioritize our husbands. One thing we can do right away: FIX OUR FACE when we first see him after a long day. A quick hug and an intentional moment of joy in your face when you see him can be game changing. ...

Have you ever had to say to your kids, “FIX YOUR FACE?” Sometimes, we need to say it to ourselves, too! We see and hear wild things as moms and we often have to fix our faces. In this episode, Jenny, Kate, and Rebecca share who has the worst poker face and why it’s important to fix our faces when our kids say things that shock us. We also need to know WHERE our faces are fixed when we face the daily battles of motherhood. We’re deep diving into the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 to get...

Hey Mamas! We’ve made it to the last episode of our Christmas series, and oh, what a journey it’s been! Today, we’re diving deep into the story of the Magi (the Wise Men) and King Herod. You guys, the contrast between these two is SO powerful. The Magi came to worship Jesus with humble hearts and incredible gifts, while Herod… yikes. His fear of losing control drove him to manipulation, lies, and even tragedy. As we talked through this, we realized something BIG: sometimes we’re more like Herod...

Connect with Us: This Christmas season, let’s hit pause and remember what the holiday is really about. We all know it’s easy to get caught up in the glittery decorations, the must-have gifts, and the endless shopping lists. But what if we stopped for a moment and asked ourselves: Are we celebrating Christmas the world’s way, or God’s way? Because, let’s face it, God’s kingdom is upside down! His idea of royalty looks nothing like what we see in movies. A stable birth, humble shepherds, and a fee...

Connect with Us: We get it, raising kids with screens all around us can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to take this journey together, one step at a time, just like teaching them to ride a bike or drive a car.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-AHMdi23UM As moms, we can either be super helpful to each other or end up being harmful if we aren’t careful with our words. We’re talking in this episode about things moms say to other moms and we’re focusing on the things we say that aren’t helpful. Unsolicited advice, minimizing, and comparing are all things we do that are not great. A mom that is going through a hard time might share with a mama a season ahead of her and instead of hearing hope and encoura...

We’re so quick to get our kids to the doctor but THE WORST about getting ourselves there. This episode, we’re talking about things moms say to other moms.

Our kids can have BIG emotions and so can we. Depending on how we were raised and our own issues, it can be such a struggle to handle our children’s big feelings. Kate and Rebecca share openly about the ways they’ve grown in this area and the big mistakes they’ve made along the way as they’ve navigated feelings. Here’s what we want to remember: Wait: Don’t have a big talk in the middle of an emotional storm Prep: Make a plan when things are calm Model: Model what you teach, apologize quickly...
