Moms in Prayer Podcast

What a gift that God has given us in our children—that we get to walk with them, help them lay a firm foundation of faith, and point to them to God and His Word. And yet, it can feel overwhelming and daunting much of the time. How do we make disciples who love God with all their heart? Dannah Gresh, founder of True Girl, equips us with wisdom and truth on today’s podcast. Listen in to learn about the discipleship every child needs.

SCRIPTURES
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ESV
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 ESV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 ESV
Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
    So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26-27 ESV
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 ESV
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 2 Timothy 3:16 ESV

Weary? Feeling alone even on your busiest days? The world may prescribe a vacation to ease your weariness, but the Bible presents a better way to experience times of refreshing. It all begins with His presence. God designed, even commanded, time with Him to give us a chance to step away from the distractions of everyday life, to refocus our attention on Him and remember He is sovereign. Spending time with our triune God will never disappoint. It is the true source of refreshment, restoration and renewal. Listen in for practical ways to get away with God and experience His voice.

“I am so thankful for my daughter’s prodigal years. They changed me from being arrogant, self-righteous and judgmental into a reflection of our Heavenly Father.” What a precious reminder that not only can God bring transformation in our children’s lives as we pray for them, but He also molds and shapes us into who He created us to be! Today we hear from a mother and daughter as they share their journey through the prodigal years and how the power and hope of prayer sustained them.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Karla Slonaker 
Moms in Prayer was introduced to me 33 years ago at an informational meeting for moms of elementary school children. As I learned about MIP, I knew God was drawing me to prayer. I have benefited in so many ways, including learning the character of God and how to pray; having sincere, available prayer support, and experiencing hope and blessing while raising a prodigal teenager. Proverbs 3:5-6 is so true…”trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” Now this daughter, Jaclyn, prays in a MIP group for her children and serves the ministry in her area and on our state team.
My husband Fred and I have been married for 41 years. We have three adult children with spouses and nine grandchildren. We raised our family in Wenatchee, Washington and now live near them all in Meridian, Idaho. I heard God’s Spirit call me in March 2023 to serve the women of Idaho as State Coordinator for MIP. It is a huge blessing to support, train, develop leadership across this state as we pray and fast for the salvation of students. In addition to prayer ministry, I mentor young women of all ages and enjoy a variety of crafting projects.

Jaclyn St. John
I live in Meridian, Idaho with my husband, Cody and our children, Chloe (10) and Jaxon (7), plus two dogs and a cat! By profession, I am a Registered Dietitian with Dairy West but my most meaningful roles are as a devoted daughter, wife, sister, granddaughter, aunt, and friend who deeply values the people God has placed in my life.
I have a passion for health and wellness that carries into both my professional work and everyday life. I enjoy nourishing others through nutritious food, healthy living, and spending quality time with family. Through laughter, movement and shared meals, I believe in celebrating life’s blessings and caring well for the people around me. It has been my privilege the last three years to serve Moms in Prayer Idaho alongside my mom, Karla Slonaker. Sharing our story of spiritual death to spiritual life has been a joy. She is my best friend!

SCRIPTURES
Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6b ESV
“Arise, cry out in the night,
    at the beginning of the night watches!
Pour out your heart like water
    before the presence of the Lord!
Lift your hands to him
    for the lives of your children,
who faint for hunger
    at the head of every street.” Lamentations 2:19 ESV
Train up a child in the way he should go;
    even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 ESV

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:20 ESV
Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Romans 8:34 ESV
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5 ESV

“We have emotions because we are made in the image of God and God has emotions.” Cyndie reminds us that not only did God give us emotions, but He wants us to talk to Him about those emotions—to pour out our hearts like water to Him. We aren’t to let our emotions run wild and rule us, but we should instead be guided by the Word of God. Listen in to hear what Scripture says about emotions and also receive practical tools on how to process them.

ABOUT OUR GUEST
In 1994, I was a young mother of three boys and pregnant with my fourth, when my mom bought me the Moms in Prayer Booklet. I was in a stage of life where I would have protected my children from everything if I could, but I quickly discovered that was impossible. As I started praying in a Moms in Prayer group, my relationship with the Lord began to take shape. I went from knowing about Him, to really trusting Him, His name, and His character. Praying together with other moms not only taught me how to pray, but how to let go of all I wanted to control and to trust God—His word, His work, His provision, and His plans.
My husband Tom and I have been married for 41 years and we live in Deshler, Ohio. We have been blessed with four sons, two beautiful daughter-in-loves and five adorable grandchildren. I have been a part of Moms in Prayer for over 30 years. I served as the State Coordinator for Ohio from 2015-2022. I currently serve as the Great Lakes Division Coordinator, which include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

SCRIPTURES
The heart of man plans his way,
    but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 ESV
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:55 ESV
You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies; Psalm 23:5a ESV
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 ESV
If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. God’s ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind and as the manner in which a human spirit is infused into the little body of a baby while it is yet in its mother’s womb. Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow—perhaps it all will. Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 TLB
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed 
That I would see the goodness of the Lord 
In the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 NKJV
Tackle every task that comes along, and if you fear God, you can expect his blessing. Ecclesiastes 7:18 TLB
