As a mother of 8 children ranging in age from 5-21, Bethany has learned the freedom of applying gospel truths to the daily details with children. Together we will learn how to take spiritual truths into the micro and macro moments of motherhood. How do we make this fuzzy intersection of real life mothering and the gospel clearly defined for vision and confidence? Connection happens when we meet together in the real spaces-- the kitchen tables of life-- sharing stories of hope, truth, and grace. When God breaks through everything changes about our motherhood, and we can walk with confidence and purpose.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T06:17:24.623903+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-warrior-mama-podcast-6705690"},"episode":{"title":"408.

The kind of heavy where you know God is good, but your mind can’t keep up with your heart? In this episode of The Warrior Mama Podcast, Bethany shares what God taught her in one of those seasons. With eight children, health challenges, and more on her plate than most could imagine, she asked God how to keep moving forward when it all felt like too much. His response was simple but powerful: build an altar. She takes us back to Joshua 4, where God told the Israelites to gather stones from the Jordan River as a reminder of His faithfulness. Bethany began doing the same in her own life, collecting stones of Scripture, answered prayers, and moments where God showed up in quiet ways. Those reminders became anchors when the overwhelm tried to take over. This conversation is for the mom who wants to feel grounded again. It’s a reminder that when life feels heavy, God hasn’t gone anywhere. You can build your own altar right where you are, remembering the ways He’s already been faithful. If you’ve been longing for peace and perspective in the middle of the busy, this episode will meet you there.
