Are you feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure whether you're spending your time in a way that actually honors God? In today’s episode, we’re breaking down what biblical time management really looks like for Christian moms—and spoiler alert: it’s not about doing more.
Inside this episode, I walk you through four powerful, yet simple, heart-resetting questions that help you realign your time, your energy, and your rhythms with what God actually wants for you in this season.
These four questions have helped me as a stay-at-home mom of three 4 and under, and I know they’ll help you too, whether you’re home full-time, working from home, or juggling both.
In this episode, we discuss:
How Christian moms often get stuck in “hustle mode” without realizing it
How to start your day with God instead of your to-do list
How to recognize when your schedule reflects people-pleasing instead of your true priorities
Loving our neighbors — especially the little ones in our homes
Why caring for yourself is part of godly stewardship (and not selfish!)
