Gather Moms

Have you ever said: Life will be good when…Hoping for the end of a hard season, healing comes or something hard finally lets up. Jana Howerton joins us on the podcast and tells the beautiful story of how holy interruptions in her life have helped her to see that she doesn’t have to wait for her life to be good. She’s found her God to be good and has learned to face each unexpecte...

Raise your hand if you have a question-meter! That’s when you’ve hit your limit on the amount of questions you can rationally handle. A mother’s day is constantly interrupted with questions about lost shoes, more snacks, relationship drama, extra screen time and so much more. Your answers are informing the inquiring minds in your home and are so important. Our kids are learning a...

Objectifying women is bad. We can all agree on that and yet, we do it to ourselves nearly everyday when we look in the mirror or look at a picture and analyze ourselves as objects, not humans. We only see what we can see and scrutinize every part. God did not create us as objects. He created us as people, made in His image. Who we are is much more than what we look like. Listen in to this intervie...

January always means a diet, right? Some kind of cleanse or new commitment to only eat clean or avoid certain foods to get rid of those holiday pounds and get summer bod ready. But what if January didn’t mean that? What if it meant something new? Kate is sharing in this episode how she is laying down her regularly programmed diet ritual and trusting as God calls her out to something new, som...

I would guess that every mom has felt this way at some point. Our days get interrupted by a feeling of being overwhelmed. We hear ourselves say, “Why can’t I get it all done?” These moments of frustration and despair push us to tears or back to bed. We wonder if we’re the only one feeling this way. Surely other moms have it all together with endless time for all their erran...

We interrupt this regular scheduled day of motherhood to announce that the Gather Moms Podcast is BACK! We are so excited to join you for another season of real talk with lots of laughs and life truth from God’s Word. How many times a day (or night HA!) do you get interrupted? Baby won’t sleep, call from the School Nurse, screaming kids while you’re working from home, or maybe yo...

At The Mom Event, we asked some of our favorite wise, intentional, Jesus-loving mamas to join us for some real talk. We asked them how they deal with mom competition, what they can do to not lose themselves in their mom identity and what they would tell their new mom self, among many other questions. Do not miss this one. It is overflowing with wisdom and real help. Support Us:   Monthly Dona...

As moms, we know how it feels to be knocked down. We know the struggle to get out of the bed and face another hard day because we know our people need us. The last two years have been especially hard on moms. We are the ones on the front lines in our homes trying to keep everyone healthy, navigating tough conversations, making impossible decisions and trying to keep ourselves going when we just wa...

We three kings of orient are…WAIT. What? Were they kings or magi and what does it mean they are from the orient? We are taking a deep dive into these three (were there actually three) men that celebrated Jesus’ birth with some famous gifts. There are so many treasures, not just the gold, to uncover in this story and we had the best time with our investigative fun! JOIN US Mentions: Hid...

We can’t help but love and admire sweet Mary, the mother of Jesus. The trust and strength displayed in her story is awe-inspiring. Throughout scripture we see God choosing people to display his glory not because of their greatness, but because of his greatness. Mary, a teenage girl, was chosen to carry the Son of Man but she was just like us with questions, worries, struggles and a desperate...

Tantrums, book fair, red ribbon week, trick or treating. We feel like these terms don’t carry the full weight of how a mom experiences them and we want to rectify that.

Today we welcome back to the podcast, Jenny Worsham, our Gather Groups Director. We’re closing out Season 5 with one of the hallmarks of Gather Moms which is choosing to mom with intentionality. We know that many days are spent playing catch-up with schedules, laundry and our to-do list, but we believe that making time for intentional moments with our kids is vitally important. Jenny shares...

We spend hours searching for things as moms. Lost shoes, favorite stuffed animals, homework and searching in our shopping for the best Christmas presents, the right outfit, the perfect couch. We are willing to spend the time to look for the things that have some value here on Earth but are we willing to spend the time searching for what holds value in both this life and the life to come? Join us a...

I wish we could wave a magic wand and make everything work out like we want. We live in a day when walking out the front door takes all the courage we can muster. What will today hold? Everything feels out of sorts, confusing and scary. We can all use more trust, but who or what are we trusting in? Here’s what I know about motherhood: I want my kids to trust me.  I want them to know that...

As we open this season and talk about all things more, we have to start it out right.
