The Warrior Mama Podcast

Welcome back to the kitchen table! Today Bethany is sharing what it means to truly pray like a grace filled warrior.

Do you ever feel like prayer is just another thing on your checklist? You know that you are supposed to pray for your family but after you do, you are still in this place of doubt. Did He really hear me? Did I say the right things? What if I don’t have enough faith?

Mama, that is not how God designed prayer to be. He didn’t design it to be a checklist, or an ATM where we just put in our Christianity card and get our desired result.

Prayer is the place that God calls you and me. In Episians 6 Paul says, “pray all times in the spirit in prayer and supplication”.

God intended for us to seek him out in prayer. Whatever our need or our problem may be, he just wants to lend his ear to listen.

If we understand this, we can stand on the promise that He hears our voice. God invites us to stand on his word and to seek out the promises he offers to us in the bible.

14. Preparing for the Battlefield

Welcome back to the kitchen table! Bethany has been talking about what it means to be a grace filled warrior. This week we are talking about what it means to be a grace filled warrior on the battlefield.

The first step to winning the battle against the enemy, is realizing that you are on the battlefield. As Christians we are not only on the battlefield on the bad days, but in every moment.

Ephesians 6 says, “Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might, put on the whole armor that you may be able to stand against the devil”

This week Bethany is talking about

What the battlefield looks like and the enemy that is after us
How to get prepared for battle and put on the full armour of God
How to prepare our children for battle so that they may learn to fight that battle as well.

Mama, you are a warrior. Bethany wants to invite you this week to take just a few moments with Jesus and ask him to show you where you are on the battlefield! Then ask Jesus to show you where your kids are on the battlefield, and how can you encourage them to dive into what it means to be a warrior for themselves.

Don’t forget to head over to https://bethanykimsey.com or @bethanykimsey on Instagram to share with Bethany where you are in your battle and how you are putting on your full armour of God.

16. Why Do We Need Friends?

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to spend some time with Bethany as she shares about why friends can be so important.

When we think about our friends, a dozen things come to our mind. Fun times, good laughs, a person to talk with, a shoulder to cry on. But have you ever stopped to think about what God says about friendship?

In Exodus 17 we see the depiction of what true friendship should look like, When they are in the midst of battle, Moses is weary and tired. He is at that point where he cannot do it alone anymore. The Israelites come and they help hold his arms for him and give him companionship when he is unable to do it for himself. This allows him to keep that staff raised high.

We are all on that battlefield and we all reach that breaking point from time to time where we just don’t think we can do it anymore. God’s design for friendship is to help hold each other up through those times.

Through it all, we are called to hold high the banner of Jesus. But sometimes, mama, we get tired and we need help. We need friends that can help us hold that banner up and can keep speaking gospel truths to us in this moment so that we can keep speaking them to our kids.

Join Bethany this week as she talks about

God’s design for friendship.
How to help your friend when they just can’t go on alone.
How to admit when you are in that place of needing a friend to hold you up.
