After spending the holidays with my two boys, I see now, even more, that God created mothers to have an impact on their children their whole lives. I find myself very involved in being a mentor to all of my children, pointing them to God, believing in their dreams, praying with them, supporting them through rough places. Your children will draw life and beauty from you as long as you live.
Yet, as I correspond with thousands of mothers, I find that they grow weary in their task, are confused with all the voices in culture and on social media. They become lost in the weeds of so much differing advice or become weary in the middle of the journey, tempted to compromise their ideals.
I wrote Mission of Motherhood to inspire, instruct and lead women to understand the profound importance God had in mind when He created mothers to be civilizers, lovers, teachers, trainers of the very children He entrusted into their arms. I hope the stories, the videos, the encouragement will be a shot in your emotional and spiritual arm to give you strength, wisdom and courage as you face a new year. I am looking so forward to our time together. And be sure that I will be praying for each of you who join me here.
Blessings and blessings of His grace and love to you this new year.
What will I learn in the book club?
Not only will you be inspired by the ideals in the book, you will learn how to practically apply the concepts over the course of six weeks, we will learn how to:
Discover and explore the meaning of Biblical motherhood and learn how to faithfully commit our lives to God's design.
Mother with the heart of Jesus and learn how to lead through serving.
Cultivate and build loving relationships with our children, so we can reach our children's hearts for Christ.
Enrich our children's lives and train them to think Biblically.
Finish the journey with endurance and grace.
When does the book club start?
The book club will officially kick off on Thursday, January 18th with the first week's email sent straight to your inbox! It will be six weeks long and wrap up February 29th.
Does the book club cost anything?
No, the book club is a free benefit for all Life With Sally members!

Where is the discussion happening? I'm not on social media!
The discussion for the book will be happening on the Life With Sally forum and you will get a link to the discussion thread in each weekly email.
How does the book club work?
Every Thursday, starting January 18th, you will receive an email that has two (or so) chapters to read from Mission of Motherhood.
We will dive into those topics in the email and include special resources to help you break down the ideas, inspiration, and principles of the book into small, actionable steps that you can implement in your own motherhood journey. These special resources can include anything from a guided workbook or journal to podcast episodes, Life With Sally content, recipes, or videos.
You will also receive a link to that week's discussion thread on the Life With Sally forum where you can unpack all you've learned and swap stories, inspiration, or ideas with other like-minded moms.
Life with Sally can help you be the loving and faithful mom you want to be. When you become a member of Life With Sally, you are not only helping Clay and me to support our ministry, but you also will gain access to a deep well of lifegiving content from over two decades of ministry, including:

Curated content from my friends and me on how to cultivate a lifegiving lifestyle in your home and relationships including delicious recipes and inspiration and ideas to create your own lifegiving home.
Topical series, podcasts, and courses by me about what it means to be a disciple of Christ and a godly mom from over two decades in ministry.
An exclusive, new Bible study each month where you and I will walk through the Scriptures together through special audio teachings and downloadable notes and journals.
