Episode 33: Where Is God When Life Hurts? | The Book of Job Come, Follow Me August 10–16, 2026 | Job | Come Follow Me Scripture Study | LDS Scripture Study | Bible Study for Moms Why do bad things happen to good people? Where is God when life falls apart? And can we still trust Him when we don't understand what He is doing? This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we're diving into the story of Job—and this one is for anyone who has ever found themselves asking God, “Why?” Job was a righteous man who loved God, and yet he experienced unimaginable loss. He lost his wealth, his health, and most devastatingly, his children. His friends misunderstood him. He questioned. He grieved. He wondered where God was. And yet, in the middle of his suffering—not after everything was fixed—Job declared: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” — Job 13:15 And: “I know that my redeemer liveth.” — Job 19:25 That is what we're talking about this week. We'll dig into what Job's story teaches us about trusting God when life doesn't make sense, asking God the hard questions, sitting with people in their grief instead of trying to explain it, and recognizing that suffering does not mean God has abandoned us. We'll also talk about Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin's message “Come What May, and Love It” and what it means to keep choosing God through the unexpected, painful, and difficult parts of mortality. In this episode:
A simple overview of the story of Job Why bad things can happen to good people Why hardship isn't always punishment What Job's friends teach us about supporting someone who is hurting Why it's okay to ask God hard questions “I know that my Redeemer liveth” “When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold” Trusting God before you know how the story ends What happens when God finally answers Job Looking back and asking, “Where was God in my story?” Inviting the Lord into the chapters of our lives we never would have chosen
One of my biggest takeaways this week is this: You don't have to know WHY when you know WHO. You may not understand this chapter of your life. You may still be waiting for an answer. You may be living through something you never would have chosen. But you can still know your Redeemer. You can still bring God your questions. You can still say, “Heavenly Father, I am trying.” And you can trust that your suffering does not get the final word. Because of Jesus Christ, God does. 🩷 Question to ponder this week:Think of one chapter of your life you would never choose to relive. Where was God in that story? And then ask yourself: Where might He be in the story you're living right now—even if you can't see Him yet? Scriptures discussed: Job 1:21Job 13:15Job 19:25–27Job 23:10Job 37:14Job 38Job 42:10–17 Come what may. Keep trusting. Keep turning toward Christ. Your Redeemer lives. 🩷 Come, Follow Me Moms is a weekly Come, Follow Me podcast where we take the meat and potatoes from the lesson and apply it to motherhood, family life, and the real things we're walking through every day.

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. 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:
