I don't know about you, but THIS is the episode I've been waiting for. I asked Madi Schultz, homeschool mom of *almost* four, the podcaster behind Sunny and 65, as well as the creator behind Mack and Benj, a Christian, gospel-centered apparel company, to sit down with me for a conversation about what it looks like to radically follow Christ as a mom, wife, and member of the local church.
We tackled questions like:
-What role does the gospel have in motherhood? Is it external, internal or both?
-Are we only called to share the gospel with our kids?
-How radical does it get when chasing after Jesus?
-What does it look like raising a generation of life-long learners who are courageous and resilient and pursuing Jesus faithfully?
-How do we raise kids who share the gospel if we don't intentionally do that ourselves?
-What does balance look like? Is it even possible to achieve?
Being a mom with a heart for ministry is no easy task, and often some of us feel crippled with the weight of other people's expectations. Madi and I dove into Romans 14, and the freedom we have in Christ that passage offers. As you walk away from this episode, I hope and pray that you welcome this truth: that YOU have been created so DIFFERENTLY on purpose by the Creator of the universe who loves you so, so much. Embracing those differences He's intentionally made us with puts us in a place of contentment as we gaze upon the Savior.
And, as always, may your lives be sanctified, your homes edified, and Jesus glorified as you listen to this week's episode.
