Come, Follow Me Moms Week 7: Genesis 6–11; Moses 8 “Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord”February 9–15
✨ Episode Overview Last week, we studied Zion. Enoch’s city so righteous it was taken up to heaven.This week, Zion is gone… but Noah stays. Why? Wasn’t Noah righteous too? Yes, but scripture teaches us that Noah’s family was the only righteous family left on the earth. Instead of removing them, God asked Noah to stay, build, and lead his family through the storm. This episode is all about:
Obedience in a noisy world
Following prophets as spiritual protection
Trusting God when we feel unqualified
And remembering that grace prepares us before the storm comes

🌿 Intro: Zion Was Taken… Noah Stayed
“Noah was a just man, and perfect in his generation; and Noah walked with God.”— Genesis 6:9
“Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”— Moses 8:27
Noah didn’t just live righteously, he walked with God.And instead of being taken out of the world, he was called to remain and build something that would save his family. 🩷 Motherhood takeaway:Sometimes God removes us from hard things.Sometimes He strengthens us to stay inside them and lead our families through.
🛠️ Part 1: Noah Preached Repentance in a World That Didn’t Want It Noah wasn’t just an ark builder, he was a preacher.
“Noah called upon the children of men that they should repent.”— Moses 8:20
But the people rejected him.
“They hearkened not unto his words.”— Moses 8:20
Scripture describes Noah’s world as:
Corrupt (Genesis 6:12)
Filled with violence (Genesis 6:13)
Rejecting God’s voice (Moses 8:24)
Sound familiar? ✨ Modern-day connection:Just like Noah, we have a living prophet today.God still warns before the flood, invites before destruction, and leads through prophets because He loves us.
🛟 Part 2: Following the Prophet Is Spiritual Safety
“Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”— Genesis 6:22
Noah didn’t obey partially.He obeyed completely. As Allen D. Haynie taught:
“A perfect and loving Father in Heaven has chosen the pattern of revealing truth to His children through a prophet.”— General Conference, April 2023
🩷 Motherhood application:Prophets aren’t sent to scare us, they’re sent to protect families. Listening today may look like:
Simplifying family life
Protecting what enters our homes
Prioritizing covenants
Centering Christ daily
That’s not restriction that’s refuge.
🕰️ Good, Better, Best (Choosing Obedience in a Busy World) In Dallin H. Oaks’s talk Good, Better, Best (Oct 2007), he reminds parents that overscheduling and busyness can crowd out what matters most.
“Some uses of time are better, and others are best.”
🩷 Motherhood takeaway:Obedience often looks like:
Choosing better over busy
Saying no to good things to protect sacred ones
Preserving time for prayer, scripture, and family connection
Sometimes the most obedient thing we do is slow down.
🔨 Part 3: God Makes Ark Builders Out of Weakness Noah wasn’t a shipbuilder and God didn’t ask for a résumé.
“Make thee an ark of gopher wood.”— Genesis 6:14
No explanation.No blueprint in the scriptures.Just trust. 🩷 Reflection for moms:What have you done that once felt impossible?
Motherhood
Unexpected trials
Strength you didn’t know you had
God takes women who say “I could never do that”and turns them into women who do with Him.
🚪 Part 4: The Ark Was Hard… But It Was Safe
“And Noah and his sons… went into the ark.”— Genesis 7:7
They were there almost a year—crowded, loud, smelly, exhausting.
“And the Lord shut him in.”— Genesis 7:16
Noah didn’t shut the door.God did. 🩷 Motherhood truth:Boundaries can feel tight.Obedience can feel inconvenient.But the ark even when hard was the safest place on earth.
🌊 Part 5: The Flood Was Mercy, Not Cruelty
“The earth al

Episode 43: God Knew You Before You Were Born | Come, Follow Me Moms | Jeremiah 1–4; 6–7; 16–18; 20 Have you ever felt like God was asking you to do something you weren't qualified to do? 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. He faced rejection, discouragement, and opposition, but the Lord reminded him that he was never alone. And guess what? We can learn SO much from Jeremiah about motherhood! In this episode, we're talking about:
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:
