Come, Follow Me Moms Podcast July 13–19 | 2 Kings 16–25 "Come Home" Welcome back to another episode of Come, Follow Me Moms! This week we're studying 2 Kings 16–25, and while these chapters contain kings, prophets, wars, captivity, and the destruction of Jerusalem, one message stood out above all the rest: Jesus Christ Is Always Calling Us Home Have you ever gone through a season where you didn't feel close to God? You still believe. You still love Him. But you feel spiritually tired. Maybe you've missed prayers. Maybe Come, Follow Me feels overwhelming. Maybe life has been so busy you've been surviving instead of thriving. If that's you, this episode is for you.
In This Episode The Scattering of Israel We begin with the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The people break their covenants, turn to idols, reject prophets, and eventually experience the scattering of Israel. We discuss:
Why spiritual drift often happens little by little The dangers of placing other things before God Covenant relationships and their importance How God continues to invite His children back to Him
Key Thought: When people become spiritually lost, God doesn't stop loving them. He keeps calling them home.
King Hezekiah: What Do You Do When Life Falls Apart? King Hezekiah was one of the righteous kings of Judah. When the Assyrian army surrounded Jerusalem, the people were terrified. The enemy attacked their faith first, trying to convince them that God could not save them. Instead of giving in to fear, Hezekiah turned to the Lord. He prayed. He sought counsel from Isaiah. He laid his fears before God. And God answered. We discuss:
Trusting God during difficult seasons The power of prayer Taking our burdens to Christ Believing that God hears us
Question for Moms: What letter are you carrying today?
A child you're worried about? A diagnosis? Depression? Financial stress? Marriage struggles? Infertility? Loneliness?
Like Hezekiah, we can lay it before the Lord.
"That Which Thou Hast Prayed... I Have Heard" One of the most powerful verses this week comes from 2 Kings 19. God tells Hezekiah:
"That which thou hast prayed to me... I have heard."
What a beautiful reminder for mothers. God hears:
Your prayers for your children Your prayers for your marriage Your prayers for prodigal family members Your prayers for healing Your prayers in the middle of the night
He hears you.
King Josiah: The Scriptures Can Bring You Back After several wicked kings, Josiah becomes king at only eight years old. While repairing the temple, the people discover the Book of the Law. When Josiah hears the scriptures, everything changes. His story isn't just about finding a book. It's about finding God again. We discuss:
The power of scripture study Spiritual renewal Covenant living Turning our hearts back to Christ
President Spencer W. Kimball called Josiah's story one of the finest stories in all of scripture.
Rituals Strengthen Relationships Relationships aren't built through giant moments. They're built through:
Bedtime prayers Family scripture study Sacrament attendance Small daily conversations
The same is true with God. Question to Ponder: What if you're only one scripture away from feeling closer to God? Not an hour-long study session. Not perfection. Just opening the book again.
Repentance Is Coming Home One of the strongest themes in these chapters is repentance. Sometimes it's easy to look at ancient Israel and think: "How could they do that?" But if we're honest, we all need repentance. Maybe we:
Lost our temper Yelled at our children Forgot to pray Struggled to trust God Let fear take over
Repentance isn't proof that we're failing. Repentance is Christ's invitation to come home. Again. And again. And again. Repentance is not punishment. Repentance is healing. Repentance is hope. Repentance is coming home.
The Fall of Jerusalem & The Book of Mormon Connection One of the most fascinating parts of this week's study is realizing where

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:
