COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS Joshua 1–8; 23–24 “Be Strong and of a Good Courage” Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms. This week we are in the book of Joshua… and WOW. This week is powerful. We have Moses passing away, Joshua stepping into leadership, the Jordan River parting, Rahab and the scarlet cord, the walls of Jericho falling, memorial stones, miracles, courage, obedience, redemption, and one of the most famous scriptures in all of scripture: “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” — Joshua 24:15 And honestly… this week feels SO much like motherhood. Because Joshua is all about moving forward when you feel unsure. Trusting God before you see the miracle. Walking by faith. And believing God will make a way even when there doesn’t seem to BE a way. And mamas… I know so many of you are standing in front of your own Jordan River right now. You might be exhausted. Overwhelmed. Scared. Waiting. Trying to trust God in the messy middle. And this week’s lesson is such a reminder: God goes before His people. Joshua steps into leadership after the death of Moses. Can you imagine how overwhelming that must have felt? Moses was THE prophet who led Israel out of Egypt, parted the Red Sea, and spoke with God face to face. And now Joshua is supposed to lead. Big shoes. Heavy responsibility. I love that the Lord immediately tells Joshua over and over: “Be strong and of a good courage.” — Joshua 1:6, 7, 9 God knew exactly what Joshua needed to hear. And honestly… don’t we all? Be strong. Be courageous. Keep going. What makes this even more powerful is that Joshua was one of the LAST living adults who remembered the Red Sea. Almost everyone else from that generation had died in the wilderness except Joshua and Caleb because they trusted God when the other spies doubted. Joshua remembered the plagues, the manna, Mount Sinai, and the miracles of God. And now he’s leading an entirely new generation. Mamas… some of you are doing that too. You are trying to lead your family toward Christ in a world that feels very different than the one you grew up in. And maybe sometimes you feel inadequate or unsure. But the Lord does not call perfect people. He strengthens willing people. One of the biggest themes in Joshua is this: God goes before His people. Before they crossed the Jordan… God already had a plan. Before Jericho fell… God already knew how the walls would come down. Before Rahab hung the scarlet cord… God already knew her story. And before YOU got where you are right now… God already knew. Joshua 1:9 says: “For the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” I LOVE that. Because motherhood can feel lonely sometimes. Heavy sometimes. Scary sometimes. But we are not doing this alone. Honestly, when people ask me about being pregnant with twins, they ask: “Are you scared?” “Are you nervous?” And honestly? I just keep thinking: The same God who parted the Red Sea… The same God who stopped the Jordan River… The same God who brought down Jericho… is the same God helping me right now. And He’s helping YOU too. One of the most incredible miracles in this week’s lesson is the parting of the Jordan River. The Israelites arrive during flood season. This wasn’t some tiny stream. This was a rushing river overflowing its banks. And God tells the priests carrying the ark to STEP INTO the water first. And this part matters SO much: The river did not part before they stepped in. It parted AFTER. That will preach, mamas. Sometimes God asks us to move forward BEFORE we see the miracle. We want certainty first. Answers first. Proof first. Comfort first. But faith often looks like getting your feet wet first. Joshua 3:5 says: “Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” I LOVE that scripture. Expect wonders. Expect God to move. Expect miracles. One of my favorite thoughts from studying this week was: “Silence precedes the miracle.” Sometimes God is working even when everything feels still. After they crossed

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:

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.
