Gather Moms

Don't believe all the hype that paints this Biblical woman onto a roof. Bathsheba is a MAMA who chose to be a champion instead of a victim. All the wrong that was done to her and her family could have quite literally broken her. Instead she rose up and committed herself to live out a legacy of forgiveness and wisdom as the wife to King David and the mom of four boys. Rebecca sees so much beauty in...

When your life doesn't go how you expected it (we're lookin at you 2020), then you know what it is to be Hannah. She expected to have babies but instead had none and was absolutely heartbroken. BUT GOD showed up in her darkness and answered her prayers and she dedicated that answered prayer back to the service of our God. Mama Hannah shares a beautiful connection with one of our favorite new testa...

Hannah expected the life of normalcy with a loving husband and lots of kids. Her story takes an unexpected turn with a barren womb and her husband must take another wife in order to continue his family line. Infertility is not foreign to moms in our modern day. Hannah's deep desire to be a mom is poured out to God in the temple year after year and aggravated by a mean sister-wife. Kate helps us di...

Our girl Rona has been giving us great content all season, but guess what? We done! We'd like to put her in timeout but unfortunately we don't have control over worldwide pandemics. Instead we have gleaned all the life lessons we could from Covid in 2020 and we are sharing them here. In this final installment of Season One we are putting a masked-bow on life in the times of corona and laughing til...

We are so excited to introduce you to JENNY. Jenny Worsham is our Neighborhood Gather Director and our dearest friend.

She is also a CPA and knows all things money; Jenny keeps us in the green and on task. Over a year ago, Jenny planted the seed in Kate and Reb...

Everyone loves a good before and after. Home reno and makeover shows keep us transfixed on the screen until the exciting big reveal. No one would want to watch if everything just stayed the same, right? As we think longingly about normal life, pre-Covid and dream about returning to a new normal, what if we decided to change our thinking? Instead of just getting back to the same or normal, this cou...

Giving a teased-hair nod with this title to the 80's classic, The Karate Kid and that oh-so-famous line: wax on, wax off. Mr Miyagi was training Daniel-san's muscles for future battles. Have you ever considered that our surrender to wear a mask is also training our spiritual muscles for future battles? Our natural instinct is to choose ourselves and what we think/like/accept. God is asking us to c...

Once upon a time, two young moms met in a women's Bible study at their church. A lifelong friendship of ministry, motherhood and much laughing ensued. Mom friends are a beautiful gift but aren't always easy. Kate and Rebecca discuss the intentional effort needed to nurture the mom friendships in your life. It is worth every second and comes from an overflow of God's love in your heart. Give it fre...

Have you traveled this summer? Better yet, have you gone to the grocery store lately? Leaving our house to do anything quickly reminds us that everything is different. It all takes longer because of masks, sanitizing everything we touch, and trying to give anyone we cross paths with six feet of space. Kate connects us to scripture through the words of David in the book of Psalm and it is soothing...

It's the age old question floating around homes across the world. If not yours, then definitely ours! Who forgot to flush? Teaching our kids to do the simplest things can take a lot of hard work and reminding. HABITS! This bonus episode is all about habits and how to teach them both to our kids and ourselves. Join Kate and Rebecca for a lot of laughs...maybe a little gross...but definitely true. M...

To hug or not to hug? As we reenter social situations I feel like this question is going to come up. Social distance for some is still in full effect and how do you tell if someone is a shaker, elbow bumper or none of the above? Join Kate and Rebecca as they discuss the difference between introverts and extroverts and even make some diagnostic guesses for a few Bible characters. Whatever we are, l...

Back to school, back to reality. Oh how we wish we could reverse course on this pandemic and get back to the old normal. School may look very different for you and all your mom friends this year. Kate and Rebecca are checking in on all things school and throwing it back to their first day of school outfits (do you remember Girbaud shorts??). Whether your kids are learning virtually or in-person, t...

Le freak, c'est chic. Freak out! The whole world is having a freak out moment. Mamas are struggling to keep it together and keep their freak outs confined to their closets but some days the fear of all of the unknown and scary possibilities becomes too much. Kate and Rebecca share what freaks them out--like being chased around the house or finding Jaws in your backyard pool. Let's talk about how t...

We are living in a time of ALL THE OPINIONS: COVID, politics, racial reconciliation, conspiracy theories; it is A LOT. Join Kate and Rebecca as they talk about how to deal with the social feeds that used to be filled with cute babies and are now riddled with anger emojis. You'll hear their own spicy opinions and how God is showing them what Jonah has to teach us in this time. Mentions: Spicy takes...

Welcome to the Rona-coaster!  We feel out of control and at the mercy of the up and down's of the corona-track.  This pandemic has left us eager for someone to SHOW US THE EXIT. Rebecca shares reminders from scripture that knowing our need is the first step to finding help. Kate gives insight into claiming God as our helper. Mamas, let's call out to the one who knows what awaits us on this rollerc...

We can’t wait to talk with you about ALL THE THINGS but we’re focusing this first season where we need help most: The Pandemic. As much as we want to, we can’t escape it. Whether you’re calling it the rona, the pandy, pandemania, covid, quarenteña (these are the words Kate was supposed to say in the intro!), we’re all talking about it so let’s TALK ABOUT IT with some laughs and learn what the Bibl...

Mom, you share everything with your kids; your food, your bed, your body, your bathroom--so this place is JUST FOR YOU. The only people you need to share this with is OTHER MOMS. We created this space for you to connect and feel known. We (Kate and Rebecca) are mamas, too and we are in this with you. Join us here as we laugh hard, talk openly and share ways to continue loving our families well.
