Come, Follow Me Moms Podcast June 29–July 5 | 1 Kings 12–13; 17–22 "If the Lord Be God, Follow Him" Welcome back to another episode of Come, Follow Me Moms! This week we dive into one of the most powerful stories in the Old Testament—the story of Elijah. From the widow of Zarephath, to Mount Carmel, to the still small voice, we discover that this lesson isn't really about fire from heaven. It's about choosing God. As moms, we often find ourselves caught between faith and fear, trust and control, peace and worry. Elijah's question to Israel becomes a question for us:
"How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him." (1 Kings 18:21)
In this episode we talk about what it looks like to trust God when we don't have enough, how to hear His voice in a noisy world, why fear of failure keeps us stuck, and why commitment to Christ matters more than perfection. In This Episode: ✨ The divided kingdom and what it teaches us about divided hearts ✨ The widow of Zarephath and trusting God before the miracle comes ✨ Why the miracle came after the sacrifice ✨ Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel ✨ Choosing Christ in a world full of competing voices ✨ FOMO, comparison, and trying to live ten different lives at once ✨ Why God drenched Elijah's altar before sending fire from heaven ✨ Elijah's exhaustion after his greatest spiritual victory ✨ Why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is rest ✨ The power of the still small voice ✨ Fear of failure, grace, repentance, and commitment to Christ

Mom Challenge This Week Take a few quiet moments this week and ask yourself: ❤️ Where am I standing between two opinions? ❤️ Where am I trusting fear more than God? ❤️ What is competing for my trust and attention? ❤️ What would it look like to choose Christ more intentionally this week? Not perfectly. Not flawlessly. Just intentionally. Because if the Lord be God... Follow Him.
Remember, Mom The scriptures are full of imperfect people whom God used to accomplish extraordinary things. The widow wasn't perfect. Elijah wasn't perfect. The people of Israel weren't perfect. And neither are we. God knows that. He works with imperfect people every single day. The question isn't whether you're perfect. The question is: Which way are you facing?

Or wondered if your children are actually listening to anything you're teaching them? 😂 Mama, this week's Come, Follow Me lesson is for YOU! We're diving into the book of Jeremiah, a prophet who was called by God before he was even born. Jeremiah was asked to preach repentance to people who didn't want to listen.

Episode 42: Beauty for Ashes — Letting Jesus Christ Transform Our Motherhood | Isaiah 58–66 Come, Follow Me Moms | October 12–18, 2026 “The Redeemer Shall Come to Zion” Mama, what are you living without right now? Maybe it's sleep, peace, friendship, hope, or simply the energy to make it through another day. Maybe you're carrying grief, disappointment, or a burden nobody else knows about. This week's Come, Follow Me study in Isaiah 58–66 is a beautiful reminder that Jesus Christ doesn't just help us get through life. He has the power to transform us. He can bring beauty from ashes, light into darkness, joy in our mourning, and hope for our future. In this episode, we're diving into Isaiah's powerful prophecies about the Savior, what it means to put on Christ every day, and how we can invite His transforming power into our homes and motherhood. Because, mama, you don't have to have it all together to come unto Jesus Christ. ❤️ 🌸 In This Episode, We'll Talk About:
Episode 41: He Hath Borne Our Griefs & Carried Our Sorrows | Isaiah 50–57 + General Conference This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re studying Isaiah and talking about some of my favorite messages from General Conference! Isaiah teaches us something every overwhelmed, exhausted, worried mama needs to hear: You were never meant to carry everything alone. Isaiah prophesied of Jesus Christ as “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” He didn't just come to save us from our sins—He came to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. He understands the worry, loneliness, exhaustion, heartbreak, mom guilt, and seasons when life looks completely different than we thought it would. Pasted markdown Sometimes we pray for God to take the hard thing away, but instead He says, “I'm going to walk through it with you.” In this episode we talk about:
Fear Not: You Have Not Been Forgotten | Isaiah 40–49 + General Conference Prep This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re studying Isaiah 40–49 and preparing our hearts and our homes for General Conference. And moms, if there is one message I hope you take away from these chapters, it’s this: God knows you. God has not forgotten you. God will strengthen you. God will lead you. And when what you’re carrying feels too heavy—He will carry you. Isaiah begins with the word comfort, and these chapters are filled with reminders for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, afraid, lost, or unsure of what comes next. We talk about:
Come, Follow Me Moms | September 21–27 Isaiah 13–14; 22; 24–30; 35 “A Marvellous Work and a Wonder” What if the things that feel broken in your life aren’t actually finished? This week in Isaiah, we see warnings about pride, worldliness, and turning away from God—but we also see an incredible message of hope, healing, and restoration through Jesus Christ. Isaiah describes broken walls, barren ground, heavy burdens, wandering people, and things that seem beyond repair. But that isn’t where the story ends. He also describes the wilderness blooming, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, sorrow disappearing, and God’s people being restored. In this episode, we’re talking about what all of that means for us as moms. We’ll dive into:
