COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS Week 9: Genesis 18–23 “Is Any Thing Too Hard for the Lord?” 🎧 20–25 Minute Episode “The Savior is never closer to you than when you are facing or climbing a mountain with faith.” — President Russell M. Nelson, Christ Is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains Episode Overview Genesis 18–23 is not a collection of random stories. It is one powerful thread:
God makes promises. God tests faith. God provides. God remembers. God rescues. God improves us in the proving.
And the question He asked Sarah is the question He asks us: “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14) Not — Is motherhood too hard? Not — Is this season too hard? But — Is anything too hard for Him? This week we talk about:
Waiting faith Leaving faith Sacrificing faith Mountain-climbing faith Faith under pressure Faith that looks forward Faith that says, “Yes, Lord. I believe.”
Is anything too hard for you? Yes. Is anything too hard for Jesus? No. Sarah, When Promises Feel Delayed Three holy men promise Sarah a son. Abraham was 100 years old. Sarah laughed. But here is the powerful truth: God didn’t cancel the promise because she laughed. Genesis 21:1 says: “And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.” He visited her. He fulfilled it. Not early. Not late. On time. God works on His time. Not emotional times. Not panic times. Not comparison times. Maybe you are waiting for:
A child to come back to church Healing in your marriage Confidence A financial breakthrough Consistency in scripture study Healing in your health Children for your family to grow
Faith doesn’t rush God. Faith trusts His timing. Hagar, God Meets Us in the Wilderness Hagar’s story is powerful doctrine. Sarah sends her away. She wanders in the wilderness with Ishmael. They run out of water. She can’t watch her son die. And what happens? “God heard the voice of the lad.” “Fear not.” “God opened her eyes, and she saw a well.” (Genesis 21) God did not remove the wilderness. He provided a well. Sometimes we pray: “Take this away.” And God says: “I will provide in it.” What is your wilderness right now?
Exhaustion Anxiety Postpartum Teen struggles Loneliness Financial stress Physical sickness Spiritual dryness
God hears you. God sees you. God opens wells for you. I believe in a God who provides. I believe in a God who speaks to women just like men. I believe in a God who meets us where we are and as we are. Lot’s Wife — Don’t Look Back The angels literally grabbed Lot’s family and pulled them out. That is grace. Lot didn’t walk out perfectly. He was pulled out. But then: “But his wife looked back…” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland teaches she didn’t just glance — she longed. She missed what she was leaving. Faith is forward-facing. What are you looking back at?
Your pre-child body? Your old life? Past mistakes? Regret? “Before kids…” “Before this season…”
You can learn from the past. But you cannot live in it. The past can teach you. But the present frees you. And faith pulls you forward. Abraham & Isaac — The Mountain of Obedience Three days to Mount Moriah. Three days walking toward what felt like loss. Three days without knowing there would be a ram. Abraham built the altar before he saw the ram. Genesis 22:8: “God will provide himself a lamb.” Genesis 22:14: “Jehovah-jireh” — The Lord will provide. Sometimes God tests us to see what we will do. Do we submit to God’s will like Abraham? This story is a powerful similitude of Christ. As taught in Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s General Conference talk, Behold the Lamb of God:
Only begotten son Carried the wood Willing submission Father offering the son A lamb provided
But here is the difference: Abraham was stopped. Heavenly Father was not. When Abraham raised the knife, heaven intervened. When Christ carried the cross, heaven did not stop it. Because that was the ram for us. The ram on Mount Moriah points to the Lamb of God — Jesus Christ. Faith Moves Mountains Pre

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!

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.

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:
