Momming With Jesus

In a culture driven by feelings, convenience, and self-satisfaction, commitment has quietly become rare. We often say we’re too busy, too tired, or too overwhelmed—yet we somehow find time for everything else. Our emotions change daily, but we keep letting them dictate our priorities, our faith, and our obedience.
In this episode, we talk honestly about the power of commitment—what it means to stay loyal when it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, and costly. Using the story of Ruth, we explore what selfless faith looks like in a generation that constantly asks, “What’s in it for me?”
Ruth stayed when she had every reason to leave. She committed without knowing the outcome. She chose loyalty over comfort—and God honored it in ways she could have never planned. Her story challenges us to examine our own walk with Christ and ask: Are we led by conviction, or by feelings?
We’ll talk about:
Why feelings make terrible leaders

How commitment requires sacrifice—but produces reward

What it really means to deny yourself and follow Jesus

Why God’s invitation is wide, but few are willing to commit

This episode is a call to stop making excuses, get out of our feelings, and recommit to what truly matters—our faith, our calling, and our walk with God. Commitment isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.

You’re not here to be liked—you’re here to be called.
In this episode, “You’re Not Here to Be Liked,” we unpack what it really means to follow Jesus when obedience brings misunderstanding, rejection, and offense—especially from people who know you best. Drawing from Matthew 13, we look at how Jesus was doubted in His own hometown, criticized by religious leaders, and rejected because He didn’t fit the expectations people placed on Him.
If you’ve ever felt discouraged by criticism, judged for your past, or pressured to become a version of yourself that pleases others instead of God, this message is for you. We talk about shaking the dust, carrying on with the mission, and learning to live confidently in your God-given calling without needing approval from the crowd.
This episode will encourage you to: • Stop striving for validation • Let go of offense and rejection • Embrace your identity in Christ • Walk boldly in your calling • Love people without compromising truth
Whether you’re a mom, a believer navigating faith growth, or someone wrestling with rejection while trying to follow Jesus, this message is a reminder that obedience matters more than being liked.
You are called. You are chosen. And you are not alone.

Shame doesn’t just point out mistakes—it attacks identity and convinces us to hide, isolate, and believe we’re not enough. In this episode, we unpack the difference between shame and conviction, how Jesus responds to our brokenness, and how mothers can walk in freedom, healing, and grace instead of condemnation.
