Come, Follow Me Moms Podcast April 13–19 | Exodus 14–18 Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord | Red Sea, Manna, Trusting God in Motherhood
Episode Overview Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms. This week we are diving into Exodus 14–18, and wow… this is a powerful one. The Israelites are completely trapped. The Red Sea is in front of them. Pharaoh’s army is behind them. There is no way out. And honestly… this is exactly how motherhood can feel sometimes. Overwhelmed Stretched thin Stuck in a situation you didn’t expect Wondering, “God… where are You?” And in that moment, God gives a message that we still need today: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord… the Lord shall fight for you.” (Exodus 14:13–14)
What We Cover in This Episode In this episode, we break down the “meat and potatoes” of this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson and apply it directly to real mom life. We talk about:
The Israelites being led into an impossible situation What it means to “stand still” when life feels chaotic Why fear steals our faith How God often asks us to move forward before we see the miracle The power of daily connection with God (manna) Why we are not meant to do this alone
Key Takeaways for Moms
Fear lives in the future
Fear sounds like: “What if this goes wrong?” “What if I can’t handle this?” But God says: Be still You don’t have to spiral, control everything, or figure it all out. You can pause and trust.
You are not stuck… you are positioned
God led the Israelites right to the Red Sea. That wasn’t a mistake. That was divine direction. Sometimes God allows you to feel stuck because He is about to show His power in your life in a way only He can.
The miracle comes after the step of faith
God told Moses to move forward… into the sea. The water didn’t part until they moved. You don’t always get clarity first. You don’t always feel ready first. Sometimes God simply says:
Take the next step
The Lord will fight for you
You don’t have to carry everything. You don’t have to fix everything. Your role: • Stand still
Trust Move when He prompts
God’s role: • Fight for you
Deliver you Make a way
Don’t forget to praise after the miracle
After the Red Sea, the Israelites sang. They praised God immediately. But how often do we move on quickly and forget? What song are you singing in your life right now?
From miracles to murmuring (we’ve all been there 😅)
Right after witnessing a miracle, the Israelites started complaining again. And if we’re honest… we do the same thing. This week is a powerful reminder to trust God not just in the miracle—but in the everyday moments too.
Daily manna = daily connection with God
God gave them manna one day at a time. Why? So they would rely on Him daily. Not weekly Not when life slows down 👉 Daily Through: • Prayer
Scripture Turning your heart to Him
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
Jesus is your rock and your living water
When the Israelites were desperate, God provided water from a rock. Jesus is: • Your stability when life feels shaky
Your source when you feel empty
He is what fills you when motherhood drains you.
You were never meant to do this alone
When Moses’ hands got heavy, Aaron and Hur held them up. Such a powerful reminder: You are not meant to: • carry everything
do everything be everything
Sometimes you need support. Sometimes you are the support. We need each other.
A Personal Reminder There are seasons in life where you feel completely overwhelmed… weak… stretched beyond what you think you can handle. But God meets you there. He is with you always. And there is no shame in needing Him.
Questions to Reflect On This Week Where in your life do you feel trapped right now? Where do you need to stand still and trust God? Where is He asking you to move forward in faith? Where have you already seen Him fight for you?
Final Encouragement Mamas… The same God who parted the

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:
