It’s not like my miscarriage was uncommon. According to the American Pregnancy Association, somewhere between 10 and 25 percent of women in childbearing years will have one. That’s one in four on the high end, meaning that in a room full of 100 women, perhaps in my next Bible study at church, 25 of us could have had one. That’s a lot of miscarriages, a lot of broken dreams, a lot of hurting hearts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Listen to today’s podcast with @brookemcglothlin based on Galatians 3:5, now! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THIS MONTH’S FREE GUIDE: Dear Weary Mom... a series of five letters to today’s Christian mom straight from the heart of MPM Founder Brooke McGlothlin and @staceythacker to you.

The crowds followed Jesus closely as he healed the The crowds followed Jesus closely as he healed their sick, made their lame walk, and made life and breath and being enter back into their dead. He had filled their stomachs with bread, met their needs, made their spirit soar as he fulfilled his calling from Isaiah 61 to bind up the brokenhearted and release the captives. But the tone of the conversation changed in John 6:26 as Jesus began to reveal the real reason he had come and question why they were following him. "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves." Why do you seek him?

Fear of failure still tempts me and drives me hard Fear of failure still tempts me and drives me hard. I want my grown-up girls to think I'm the best mom in the world, and I want you to think that too. The pressure to perform remains a constant pull in my life. I hate having to admit when I fail. As a result, I have to intentionally position myself to receive grace. Sometimes this involves me sitting on the floor with my head bowed and my hands open asking God to pour into me what only he can and admitting to him that I've messed up again. And other times, it starts with accepting the reality that I'm not going to get anything right, especially mothering 100% of the time. God's grace doesn't require my perfection. He has that covered already through Jesus. Listen to today's podcast with @staceythacker based on 2 Corinthians 2:14, now!

However, it was apparent to me within the first fe However, it was apparent to me within the first few moments that something was wrong. After several twists of the wand and pushes of the button, the sonographer, a friend of ours, turned to me with tears in her eyes and broke the news. This baby was no longer with us. On September 20th, 2011, our third child slipped from my womb into eternity with God, and I closed the lid to my prayer box for over six months. Sometime later, I stared at that blue box on my bedroom floor knowing what I had to do, and for the first time in a long time I knew I could do it. There, on the top of the pile of my secret prayers was a card that simply said, "Baby McGlothlin" Listen to today's podcast with @brookemcglothlin based on Psalm 34:18, now!

The odds were not in her favor as she set out uphill in the biting, wind-blown snow toward the apartment we called home. She did not know, and I could not tell her in the days before cell phones existed, I was making my way towards her. I had left work early, and I knew Robin would be getting out of class soon. I knew the way she took, and I decided I would drive it back to our apartment to pick her up. She was overwhelmed by the storm. All the while, I was on a rescue mission. She had no idea rescue was coming, and that was the best part of my plan. Listen to today's podcast with Stacey Thacker, based on Exodus 6:5-7, now!

We don't know exactly what was happening in David' We don't know exactly what was happening in David's life when he wrote Psalm 13, but it's safe to assume he felt death was close and very real. Perhaps his emotions threatened to run away while he was running for his life from Saul. Or maybe he wrote this while in exile from his son Absalom. Maybe it was some other danger that made him feel forgotten and alone. Or perhaps the circumstances of this passage don't matter as much as what it tells us about David's heart. If we look hard enough, Psalm 13 will give us a unique pattern for overcoming our emotions that can be richly useful in our own lives.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Persistent Wi I’ve been thinking a lot about the Persistent Widow, from Luke 18:1-8 this week: “Now he told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not give up. ‘There was a judge in a certain town who didn’t fear God or respect people. And a widow in that town kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect people, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so that she doesn’t wear me out by her persistent coming.’” Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. Will not God grant justice to his elect who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay helping them? I tell you that he will swiftly grant them justice…” Prayer is the long game. God can have all kinds of reasons for requiring our persistence, not the least of which could be to work in OUR hearts. Keep asking, mama. You never know when the answer might suddenly be yes. 💚 Brooke P.S. Praying for Teen Boys (by me) and Praying for Teen Girls (by @staceythacker) are available for pre-order now.

I made a commitment of faith when I was just nine I made a commitment of faith when I was just nine years old. Wide-eyed and trembling in the cold baptismal waters, I nodded my head in agreement as the pastor of my small Baptist church asked me if I had decided to give my heart to Jesus. After it was over, my mama and a group of sweet church ladies whisked me away to a Sunday school room to dry me off, get me warm and make me presentable. I sat in the pew for the rest of the sermon with wet hair and a warm heart, knowing I'd just done something very important, something that would shape the course of the rest of my life.

Mommy guilt can cause a weariness a nap won't fix. Mommy guilt can cause a weariness a nap won't fix. It weighs us down and wears us out. It turns perfectly normal moms into women who are convinced they could win the prize for the worst mom of the year. I've spent years reading about and trying to understand grace and I'm convinced it is the antidote for guilt. The two can't live together. One displaces the other. Ideally, Grace lives breathing life into us, and guilt leaves. But more often than not, the opposite is true. Listen to today's podcast with @staceythacker based on Romans 8:1-2, now!

Motherhood is hard physical labor, sweaty work, ma Motherhood is hard physical labor, sweaty work, manual labor of the most intense kind because it requires more than just body. Turns out it's hard heart labor too. And when the work doesn't pay off, when the pulling and tugging and coaxing and dragging and pushing and begging and praying don't seem to change things as fast as we'd like, we can be left empty, exhausted, worn down. In times like these, it's easy to let it all out, taking our frustrations out on those we love the most. And when we can't stop the toxic flow that comes up from our hearts and out of our mouths, you might see us waving the white flag, wanting to give up the fight.

All my life I’ve heard, “there’s power in pr All my life I’ve heard, “there’s power in prayer.” And it’s not that I didn’t believe it…Christians pray…we believe God hears our prayers. Period. It’s just that something about it didn’t quite ring true to me about the focus of those words. Is there power in prayer? Yes, I believe that. But the real power doesn’t come from the words, or how holy (or not) the person praying is. I can’t command God’s action based on my words, and I have no power to make what I want happen just because I can talk to God any time I want to. Prayer isn’t manifesting any kind of power in or from ourselves. It’s recognizing our weakness and utter dependence upon God to act on our behalf (in the way He deems best). The power comes from God. HE is the source of the power. My job is to be obedient to His call to pray. His job is to move the mountains. These are the kinds of truths we’re embracing (counting on) inside of Praying for Teen Boys (by me) and Praying for Teen Girls (by @staceythacker).
