My. Cup. Runneth. Over. Y’all, this is the firs My. Cup. Runneth. Over. Y’all, this is the first time since 2019 that I have seen staceythacker face-to-face and gotten to hug her neck, and I only had to basically fly all day to do it! She graciously invited me to be a breakout speaker (along with thekatieorr, keynote ruthchousimons, worship with angiebrownelkins…good grief this is going to be so good, and more!), and I even missed a baseball game (2 actually) to be here! You know I take my #baseball seriously, so this had to be a big deal! I can’t wait to see how God shows up for the over 500 women who have registered to be a part of The Haven, but really, I don’t need anything else but a few minutes of Stacey’s time to feel like the trip was well-spent. She’s the real deal…the realest of the deals, and it’s been pure honor and privilege to work alongside her in ministry this last decade +, especially on our latest projects, Praying for Teen Girls (by her) and Praying for Teen Boys (by me). #happytobestuckwithyou my friend! Pray for us over the next few days? I just wonder what God has planned?! #millionprayingmoms
Prove me wrong? I double dog dare you to take a Prove me wrong? I double dog dare you to take a leap of faith and begin the process of becoming a #prayingmom. But not just a mom who prays…a mom who intentionally partners with God for the heart of her children by purposefully praying His Word. * It’s living and active, and has the power to divide hearts (Hebrews 4:12). * It won’t return void (meaning it’ll do exactly what God purposes for it to do…see Isaiah 55:11). Starting with YOU, mom, and spilling over onto everyone around you. If you need help knowing where to start, try my new book, Praying for Teen Boys (or Praying for Teen Girls, by staceythacker), available anywhere books are sold. When you buy a copy this week (through 4/27) you can enter to win a 30 minute session with me and Stacey where we get to know you, and take your cares to the Father on your behalf. Details are at the link in bio. Here’s my promise: you’ll never regret the work God will do through your faithful prayers, especially that which He does in You. 💚Brooke #millionprayingmoms
Book #8 launched today… It was a good day. I to Book #8 launched today… It was a good day. I took the day off from supportbrwc, slept in until about 8, went live on IG with staceythacker to give a behind-the-scenes look at why these books are special to us, did a load or two of laundry, checked off some things on my to-do list, and then watched my oldest son (college guy) have himself a DAY on the baseball field. He had a double, two singles, turned a double play, and had the walk-off single to win the game. Y’all. I love writing, and I will forever be grateful to have had the privilege of writing a few books, but launch day pales in comparison to watching my boys do what they love. They will always be the very best thing in my life (apart from their dad and Jesus ;) and sacrificing for them doesn’t really feel too costly. Who needs a book launch party (I’ve actually never had one!) when you can watch your boy get mobbed by the guys when he hits the winning rbi in?? Swipe to see him in action. So proud of you maxmcglothlin! If you haven’t already picked up your copy of Praying for Teen Boys, what are you waiting for? Grab a copy or two wherever books are sold, or at www.brookemcglothlin.com/teens! #millionprayingmoms
A behind-the-scenes look at the Praying for Teens A behind-the-scenes look at the Praying for Teens books! staceythacker and I are so excited to announce the release of Praying for Teen Girls (by Stacey) and Praying for Teen Boys (by me), and we wanted to share some behind-the-scenes about why we wrote the books, who they’re for, and our hopes and dreams for how God might use them in the world. We also wanted to take a moment to pray together for these books, and for you as they get into your hands. We’d love for you to take a few minutes and hear our hearts, so tune in now or save it for later. During launch week (now through 4/27/25), when you purchase a copy (or copies) of either or both books, you can enter to win a private time of prayer with me and Stacey. It’ll be 30 minutes for us to hear your story, and then take your needs to the Father. It’s so special to us, and we can’t wait to do it for one mom. We’ll pick that one mom on May 1, 2025 and announce it here. To Enter: 1. Purchase a book or books. 2. Fill out the form linked in our bio. That’s it! Many thanks to everyone who has cheered us on in this endeavor. We pray for God to use these books to turn the tides of entire homes and generations and communities for His glory! Amen! 💚Brooke and Stacey #millionprayingmoms
🎉🎉Happy Birthday to these two!🎉🎉 We d 🎉🎉Happy Birthday to these two!🎉🎉 We don’t know what God WILL do with these books, but we know what He CAN do… Change everything. Starting with you, mom. We know you might be desperate for Him to do something in your teenager’s heart, but I promise, He cares just as much about yours. He’s inviting you to partner with Him for the heart of your child, and it’s a partnership that will… Make you feel purposeful instead of powerless… Help you take joy in your God-given role… Release your need to control, and protect with your prayers instead… Fight FOR your teens instead of against them… In other words, change everything. We hope you’ll pick up a copy (or 2…or 5!) if you haven’t already, and get started of a journey that has the power to affect generations to come. And it all starts with you. Grab your copy anywhere books are sold, or at the link in bio. BONUS: Anyone who purchases at least one copy during launch week (through 4/27/25) will be entered to participate in a 30 minute prayer session with both of us. We’ll choose one entry at the end of this month. We want to hear your story, mom, and then we want to join together and take it to Jesus for you. Purchase your copy anywhere books are sold, and then find the form to enter at the link in bio. And tune in live today around 9:30am ET as staceythacker and I explain a bit more 💚 💚Brooke and Stacey #millionprayingmoms #prayingforboys #mobsociety

Happy Easter, Friends. I’m grateful for the cros Happy Easter, Friends. I’m grateful for the cross, and grateful for the life and forgiveness I have because of the empty tomb. I’m grateful to have had both my boys in church this morning (I didn’t think the oldest would be able to come), and for my older brother, and both parents to share chicken casserole with tonight. I’m grateful for a friend who took the old car out of the background of this picture for me because I couldn’t get the boys to stay still for a do-over 😂 And I’m thankful for everyone who has celebrated the launch of Praying for Teen Boys with me. It’s a bit surreal that launch day is Tuesday (the 22nd). Thanks to everyone who has ordered a copy already. My deepest prayer is that God will use it for your family the way He has used prayer for mine, influencing generations with the hope of the gospel! He lives! Also, my men are soooo handsome ! 💚Brooke #millionprayingmoms
Life lessons my sons have learned from baseball (s Life lessons my sons have learned from baseball (swipe to see my #baseballboys): (This list was put together on the fly in a completely non-scientific survey of my two sons (17 & 19), my husband (48), and my own observations as a 47-yr-old #baseballmom). 1. You’ll strike out sometimes. Go down swinging. 2. Talent will only get you so far. To be great you have to work harder than everyone else. To be elite you have to win the mental game. 3. Confidence is quiet. Insecurity is loud (but being loud is fun sometimes). 4. Pride goeth before you drop a pop-fly (be humble. Everyone drops the ball sometimes. Ask Aaron Judge #allrise). 5. Brotherhood is worth the effort. 6. How you win and how you fail speak volumes about who you really are. 7. You can fail over half the time and still be a success. 8. Success comes from what you do when no one is looking. 9. The little guys catch up to the big guys at some point. 10. Be ready for the curve ball. It’s coming whether you like it or not. 11. Stepping up to the plate is the scariest and best feeling in the world, but totally worth it. 12. Uncontrolled emotions will make you a loser, even if you have the talent to be a winner. 13. Don’t bunt. Hit dingers (they insisted I put this 🤦‍♀️). I love baseball, and I love my boys. But mostly I’m just so grateful for how God has used the game, and the relationships, and the quality time, and the overcoming adversity to teach us about life. We intentionally used it that way…SOOOO much intention to manage the game instead of letting it manage us. Sooooo many conversations about being an overcomer. Soooo many opportunities to choose wisdom over foolishness, and trust God’s plan over what you can see. Whatever your #boys love, purpose to use it to teach them about life, about God, and about the kind of men you want them to be 💚 Comment the word, “TEENS” below to get the first chapters of Praying for Teen Boys FREE.

One day after I shared my memories of the Virginia One day after I shared my memories of the Virginia Tech shootings, 18 years ago, Florida State University grieves their own unthinkable loss. FSU, you are not alone. We’re praying for you. #hokies
#neVerforgeT 18 years ago, my small community ch #neVerforgeT 18 years ago, my small community changed forever when a crazed gunman opened fire on the Virginia Tech campus. My husband was a first responder, and our friends from church suffered the loss of their only son, full of promise and overflowing with a zest for life. He was gunned down in the prime of his life, and today, we take a moment to remember Jarrett Lane and the others who were lost with him. I was eight months pregnant with our second born, and I had stress contractions off and on all day. My husband called me often early in the day, saying, “Sweetie it’s so much worse than what is being reported…please pray.” Later in the day he couldn’t get through the jammed phone lines, packed with parents, spouses, and friends desperately trying to reach their loved ones. 32 lives lost and a nation (world?) shaken by sudden and unexplainable violence. There are so many stories. Mine is only one of them. My husband could tell you many more, but he doesn’t talk about what he saw that day often. I can’t blame him, but here’s what I’ve learned… Through horrible tragedy, hope shines through. Where there is one person who bears the Name of Christ, hope can never be totally lost. I watched the Body of Christ stand in hope that day, and in the days to come. They encircled their wounded, protecting them, filling in gaps for them, begging God to comfort and provide as only He can, and it was beautiful. Would you pause and pray for those affected by the #virginiatechshooting of 2007? While life has gone on, many still need the hand of God to heal their broken hearts and redeem their broken lives. Praying is not passive. It isn’t a last resort. It’s action. It’s not doing nothing, it’s doing the very best thing possible. So pray. Father, we bring those who are still hurting before You today and ask for Your continued hand of healing on their lives every day, but especially today. As they are flooded with memories, also let them be flooded with hope. Use Your Body to be the hands and feet of Your love for them, and if they don’t know You, our true and only real Source of Hope, may today be the day. In Jesus’ Name. #wearevirginiatech

Prayer tips for the hard times, when you feel like Prayer tips for the hard times, when you feel like giving up… Every Friday in April, to round out our ongoing conversations about prayer and motherhood through the teenage years, staceythacker and I will be offering Hard Prayer Tips on the everydayprayerspodcast. These are not going to be simple, trite, or Pollyanna type tips. They’re actually meant to sustain you when it feels like everything is falling apart. Parenting teens can be a bit of an emotional roller coaster. One second you’re so proud you could fly, and the next you’re in the deepest pit, wondering if anything you sacrificed for is going to matter. Stacey and I have found the prayer tips we’ll be sharing with you on Fridays this month to be sustaining, life-giving, God-honoring and Gospel-centered. They’ve given us our breath back when it got sucked away, and helped us put one foot in front of the other when all we wanted to do was sit and cry. If you need prayer tips that meet you in the midst of the messiness of raising teens, these are for you. Open up the podcast in your podcast app and leave restored with hope.

Of all the prayers we’ve prayed at #millionprayi Of all the prayers we’ve prayed at #millionprayingmoms over the years, the one that consistently gets the most engagement is when we ask God to provide our children with godly friends. I’m not kidding…there’s one prayer here (scroll back a long ways and you’ll find it), written by taralcole that had over 65,000 likes last time I checked it (in January of this year). I know we have a few #prayingmoms here, but that’s WAAAAY above normal engagement on this IG account. Way. And it isn’t just that one. Every single time we post a prayer of that nature it goes crazy, and I think it’s because we moms know the truth behind, “show me your closest friends and I’ll show you your future.” Personally, I’ve always prayed for my sons to have mat-bearers…friends who will do whatever it takes to get them to Jesus. But the reality is that it can take time for the Lord to bring those people to us. These women, in many ways, are my mat-bearers. We lived in the same area, and did life together for years, and now we all live in different cities and towns…one in a different state. We don’t get to see each other often, but when we do, it’s the same. Tuesday night we all met together with our husbands and children (minus mine—one off at college and one at practice—and one other, the oldest) and OWNED the restaurant where we broke bread together, laughed all night, and caught up. My husband’s prayer before the meal summed it up… “Lord, we have laughed, and cried, and prayed with each other over the years, and we are so grateful for this time…” Here’s what I want to say…keep praying. The Lord didn’t give me these friends until I was in my late 20s. Now, at 47, and in spite of distance, I’m so grateful that He always answers at the right time. He will answer. Keep praying. I talk about the most important things to pray for our teenage boys in my latest book, “Praying for Teen Boys.” It’s available for pre-order anywhere books are sold, or you can get the first chapter free when you comment the word, “TEENS” below.

It’s inevitable. They are going to be tempted. It’s inevitable. They are going to be tempted. They are going to see and experience evil in this world. Our prayer needs to be that when they encounter evil, when they are tempted, they’ll stand firm. “Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary, the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith” (1 Peter 5:8-9). 💚Brooke McGlothlin *** This is an excerpt from chapter two of Praying for Teen Boys: Partner with God for the Heart of Your Son.

Your weekday prayers are moving! As of today, Apr Your weekday prayers are moving! As of today, April 7, 2025, the weekday prayers that go live on Instagram at 7AM EST have moved from the millionprayingmoms IG account to the everydayprayerspodcast IG account. Why? A few reasons, many of which we'll unveil in the coming months. For now, just know that the main reason for this change is that we want to spend the time leading up to the April 22 release of Praying for Teen Boys (by me) and Praying for Teen Girls (by staceythacker) leading you in learning to fight FOR your teenagers, not against them. There will be conversations happening on the Million Praying Moms Instagram account designed to help you navigate the complicated teenage years with peace and confidence, releasing your teen to God and taking joy in your role as mom. We want to help you feel purposeful instead of powerless in your parenting, and much of what we're going to say on that topic will happen on Instagram. So, what do you need to do? Go! Go! Go! and follow the everydayprayerspodcast Instagram account to keep getting the weekday, scripture-inspired prayers for your children. Stay! Stay! Stay! with us at the millionprayingmoms Instagram account to focus on your teens (and if you don't have teens yet, rest assured, it's coming faster than you want it to. Get ready with us now!). We hope you'll make it a point to engage in the ongoing conversations about raising teens happening all this month on Instagram and on the Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms podcast!
