35. Table talk with Michelle Krol: You are Alone
Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany sits down this week for an open and honest chat with Michelle Krol about what it looks like when we hear the lie that we are alone. As a mother, your life drastically changes and it becomes so easy to buy the lie of isolation.
We long to feel connected, valued, and related to others. When we feel isolated and alone, the enemy whispers lies that distort our heart and mind. Hebrews 13: 5-6 remind us that “he will never leave you nor forsake you.” When we feel disconnected from our community, family, and our friends the enemy attempts to place power over us.
Michelle shares her wisdom on battling this lie and how she roots herself in God’s word. She provides valuable lessons and scriptures on turning to his truth to defeat the enemy and his lies.
Michelle Krol guides moms in grace to embrace the ministry within the walls of their own homes and across their kitchen tables.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week Bethany is joined by dear friend Pamela Henkelman to talk more deeply into the lie that we are messing up our kids.
The enemy creeps into our lives with lies that begin to shape how we view ourselves as mothers, and we start to believe that we have failed our children. Pamela shares her lens on parenting adult children and how although her children are grown, she still falls ill to these lies.
Bethany and Pamela talk about how anchoring yourself in his truth helps us to feel confident. And, instead, we can pour out our fears into God, knowing that he is walking by our side. These lies are not a one-time thing but standing in God’s truth can help us refute the enemy as the lies surface..
Our child’s journey is not our journey, and when we parent surrender to God and trust that he is committed to both ourselves and our children, it guides us towards peace. We can trust God, and the great plans he has for our children. Through prayer, we can partner with God in the work he is doing for our children.
Pamela is an enthusiastic encourager with a passion to speak, write, and coach. She believes all of life flows from our intimacy with God. She helps weary Christian women build a deep bond with God and understand His love.
