MomLife Ministries Podcast
Welcome to The MomLife Ministries Podcast with Melanie Hill and Christy Crosby. Being a mom is messy yet lovely in a very real way! We are here to help moms of all ages and stages feel encouraged, supported, and spurred on in their faith journey toward Christ. We want to take this journey together through all kinds of seasons and stories. Our hope is that you leave this show feeling a little more valuable and a little less alone.

How Do We Persevere In The Hard Things and Teach Our Kids To Do The Same?
Hard things happen. It’s uncontrollable and oh so uncomfortable. So when they do, how do we respond? How do we get through? Melanie & Christy help to define what perseverance is and how it’s possible. They also share tips for how to build perseverance in our kids.
Questions:
What have you learned through the experience of hardship?
Beautiful Truths: Romans 5:4-5 and Psalm 34:17-18. How are these words encouraging/challenging to you?
How does learning to work through our own anxiety matter for our children?
Every time the Bible tells us not to fear it gives us context for why we don’t need to: Luke 2:10, Luke 12:32, Matthew 10:31, Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 43:1, Genesis 50:21 How is this truth encouraging? How might it also be messy to live out?
Who can you reach out to if you’re currently walking through a hard season? We encourage you to reach out to them today!
Pray to seek the wisdom of Jesus in the midst of difficulty. Pray the same for your children.
