Life-Giving Motherhood Moments

The Mission of Motherhood Book Club Kicks Off January 18, 2024!

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.

Where is the discussion happening? I'm not on social media!

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.

  • 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.

Marriage: The Foundation of Family for Launching your children into Life

unnamedMarriage: A picture of the first community that God designed to be a blessing to all generations.

Before the fall, when all that God created was reflected in perfection, God created Adam and Eve, male and female to be the foundational unit through which all of life was to be organized. God gave the responsibility of being stewards of the earth He had made to Adam and Eve, the first couple, first family, and to their children. As a matter of fact, having children was the very first thought of God when He was blessing them.

"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it." Genesis 1: 28

Children, from the beginning and marriage and family, from the inception of the world, were a blessed design from God. Furthermore, creating children and parents to be a part of a larger community called family is a reflection of God's  relationship orientation to life. From the beginning He created us to belong to a history of people, to a love of parents, to a community of related people who would provide stability, security, comfort, purpose and love. Marriage brings life together. Marriage is about God's idea of how to organize life and purpose.

Though many of us have not experienced this unity or blessing in our own lives and have had broken places in this fallen world, knowing God's perfect design before the fall, gives us direction to follow and wisdom to pursue as we seek to redeem that which has been broken in our world, in our time. Following His design brings blessing, direction and purpose.

Today, I am attempting to begin putting small recordings, (podcasts if you will) of past conference talks. I plan on learning how to organize them more efficiently in the future. Hope you will enjoy this and I hope it works! :)

Today's excerpt is from "1998_Renew My Heart, O God"
