We’re tackling the strange celebration of a bunny who leaves eggs, why we call it Easter and how we can use all of this to point to Jesus. For Christians, the big deal about Easter is the Resurrection. We can follow the example of Christians of old to take secular holidays and use them to share Christ. We don’t have to be afraid of the bunny because yall, Jesus loves every BUNNY. SPONSORS: Dr. T Acupuncture and Chiropractic Rockwall Ford Support Us: Monthly Donation | One-Time Donation Connect...

You don’t have to have a Stanley cup. You don’t have to look at the scale in the doctor’s office. You don’t have to pack your kids lunches, cut the sandwiches into shapes and leave a note every day. There are SO MANY things we’ve adopted as things we have to buy, do or be because someone else said or modeled that for us. The freeing truth is, we don’t answer to anyone but our Father in heaven. When we look to Him, we find the true *musts* of lie; what is truly non-negotiable. The rest of it may ...

I (Rebecca) put down my phone for a week and am thrilled to share what I learned and experienced. As I am typing these show notes, my phone just notified me that my screen time was down 86% last week. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Yes! Our phones constantly distract us as we subconsciously convince ourselves that we need them more than anything else. We literally can’t leave home without them. We also spend our precious time checking social media and appeasing our boredom with apps and game...

The fabulous Jenny Worsham joins us in this episode as we talk all about the podcast live and our favorite table at the event; the “Come alone? Sit with me” table. That’s what we’re all about here at Gather Moms; making space for each other. Momming can be LONELY. If you feel alone, you’re not alone. We have to do the work to reach out to make friends and an easy way to connect to moms is with our Gather Moms Groups. Jenny tells us all about groups and how you can get connected. She also mentio...

We are still pinching ourselves that we got to record this 100th episode LIVE! What an absolute joy to be in a room of 200+ moms. We got to laugh together, hug each other and be reminded that WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER. We are not each other’s competition. We are community and we need to show up for each other. Thank you to each of you for the way you show up for us in your encouraging views, shares and telling your friends about Gather Moms. We are going to continue showing up for you. We love yo...

We’re all operating out of places of brokenness. Brokenness, in God’s eyes, is being so crushed by the sin and darkness of the world that we recognize there is no place to turn but to God. I think it’s important for us to recognize this because it affects the way we listen and receive messages from others. If we’re all broken by sin, then I can either turn in desperation to God or turn in search of worldly fixes. Jeremiah 2:13 compares this search to broken cisterns that hold no water. A cister...

Did you know that you talk to yourself more than anyone else? What are you saying to you? So many of us are talking to ourselves like we would never talk to someone that we love. We’re being punks to ourselves, bullies even, and it has to stop. We have to pay attention to what we’re saying to ourselves and speak true things instead of lies. TRUTH: Psalm 13:1-6 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Philippians 4:8-9 YOUR CHALLENGE: Stop being a punk to yourself. Pay attention to what you are saying to you. ...

NEW SEASON! Welcome to a new season of the Gather Moms Podcast that we’re calling ‘Listen Sis’. We’re not just mom friends, we are sisters in Christ. Our desire for all the people in our house to listen to our voice also means we need to be aware of what messages are filling our ears. We are all listening to something; some messages are good but most distract us from what really matters. God has great plans for us this year. He wants us to seek him with our whole hearts. Lean in, MAMAS, because ...

Like, really: Bible rocks. As in, the rocks in the Bible. What if we looked at all of the rocks in the Bible like the rock rolled in front of the tomb, the rocks Joshua used to build the altar and the rock Jacob laid his head on to see what we could learn from them. Because, truly, the Bible ROCKS and we can learn so much when we study it in a new way. Bible nerds: this episode is for you. We’re geeking out on how fun it is to study the Bible as Kat shares with us why she wrote the Storyline Bi...

We’re revisiting the TOP 3 listened to episodes of 2022 and just like that Christmas carol reminds us, “Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.” You might have used the word ‘no’ a lot over the holiday break and you’re ready for some routine. Discipline is more than just stopping kids from doing wrong; it’s also helping our kids start doing what’s right. Let’s be intentional with our discipline in 2023 by building into our kids character, respect and responsibility. We can also ca...

We’re revisiting the TOP 3 listened to episodes of 2022 and this week we’re reminded that we could all use more money, especially with a post-Christmas spending hangover! This is a lifelong pursuit that causes us to trust God, be content with what we do have and get creative in saving those hard earned dollars. As we look ahead to 2023, there’s no way to plan for all the financial hiccups that are waiting around the corner. We can be intentional with prioritizing what we love and refusing to buy...

We’re revisiting the TOP 3 listened to episodes of 2022 and kicking it off with EP 64: Diet Interrupted.

A silent night where all is calm sounds pretty amazing right now! Instead, we are all in the thick of final gift purchases, holiday parties, gift wrapping, food shopping, house cleaning and the list goes on. In this episode, we’re talking about how we can find calm in the chaos. Mary, Jesus’ mama, knew what we were going through. She might have laughed if she knew that we sing about the night she gave birth as a silent night where all was calm! But, we see that when things did calm down, the Bi...

There are so many things to fill our time and hearts at Christmas. Busy calendars, kids wish lists, online shopping, Secret Santa exchanges, the opinions of others and even unrealistic expectations. Instead of more presents under the tree, we all would like a side of extra peace. Part of the reason you might be chasing peace is because you’re trying to prove your worth. If I can just measure up to what I think is the perfect Christmas mom then I might could stop running and enjoy the holiday. O...

We’re all busy decking walls and halls with boughs of holly or something similar like an artificial flocked Christmas tree. As the decorations go up, our spirits can start to go down as the pressure of it all sets in. We have the opportunity right now to lead our families in a better way. Mom sets the pace in the home. Let’s set a pace of contentment instead of comparison and peace instead of stress so that we can wake up December 26th full of joy instead of depleted of it. TRUTH: Galatians 1:...

Get your pen and paper ready because this episode will have you taking all the notes! We are thrilled to welcome Amy Davison, contributing blog author with Mama Bear Apologetics and co-host of their podcast. Amy is overflowing with knowledge and insight on how sexuality and culture are waging war on our kids. Honestly, you might feel overwhelmed with all there is to know and defend as you raise your kids in today’s world. Here’s the truth though, the Bible and Jesus Christ are still the answer t...

“Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.” That’s a famous line from Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music and it can help this conversation with our kids. Instead of starting with sex, let’s start from the beginning and how God made our bodies. Today Kate and I discuss a great book that walks your child through their changing body and body parts. My daughter was eager to read each chapter and asked so many questions. It naturally opened up conversations that gave me the opp...

It doesn’t take long after becoming a mom that we cry out to God for help. We need Him. We can’t do this without Him. And yet, we’re struggling to find time to spend with him. For some of us, we long for the pre-kid days where could linger in our Bible studies and for others of us, we don’t know where to start to grow closer to God. In this episode, we’re taking a look back at Kate and Rebecca’s favorite times with God, where the concept of *quiet time* came from and how we can grow closer to Go...

Are you a control freak? You’re not alone. As moms, we love to be in control. We want to make sure our kids are safe, have everything they need and have successful lives. Those are all good things! The frustrating news is that we don’t have ultimate control over how our kids’ lives and even our own lives go. The good news is that we have agency. God has given us influence to partner with him as he deploys his mission in this world. Join us in this conversation with Sharon Hodde Miller about what...
