As Christian women, sometimes we can feel lonely in our walk with Christ. Do you feel that way? Spoiler alert: it’s not true and this is the podcast to prove it. I’m Megan Edmonds, your new Christian friend who cheers you on in your walk with Christ because I believe God has given you this one life to know Him, love Him, and live for Him purposefully. Each week, we will chat about all different areas of life from a Jesus loving perspective - relationships, faith doubts, emotions, parenthood, health and hormones, anxiety, and more! I share my own experiences and practical ways to grow in our relationship with God. Join me every Thursday as we take this walk with Christ together!Megan Edmonds Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality

    244 | Lessons in our first year as parents: sleep, judgement, anti-kids culture, family, and getting honest about our time with God
    Jul 24 2025
    We’ve been parents for one whole year (well, more if you count pregnancy which we do)! We’re reflecting on the past year and talking about a bunch of things we’ve learned and what God has taught us - we get REAL and honest about where we’ve been at in this journey as newer Christian parents and talk about the blessing that is parenthood and getting to raise up our precious baby boy.

    243 | How to Be a Gospel-Centered Mom with Laura Wifler
    Jul 17 2025
    For the mamas who just want to raise their kids WELL in Christ, today, we’re talking about being a Gospel mom. I’m joined by Laura Wifler—wife, mama, writer, podcaster, and co-founder of the global nonprofit Risen Motherhood. Laura’s new book, cowritten with Emily Jensen, Gospel Mom, is for moms longing to live a Christ-centered life in the midst of messy, mundane motherhood. We dive deep into: What it really means to be a Gospel-centered mom How to tune out the noise of parenting advice and tune into truth Why the “little years” of motherhood are not “lost years”—and how God is at work in them Letting go of the “what if” and living faithfully in the “what is” Encouragement for weary moms navigating comparison, unmet expectations, and daily overwhelm Laura reminds us that our value doesn’t come from how productive or perfect we are—but from being rooted in Jesus and resting in His grace. 🎉 Grab Laura’s new book Gospel Mom (and don’t miss the companion workbook!): https://amzn.to/3IoYKoS Learn more about your ad choices.
