Well, friends, is our final show of the Risen Motherhood Podcast. After 260+ episodes and nearly 10 years of ministry, it’s hard to find the words for this bittersweet gospel goodbye. And yet, we know that the Lord will continue to work in and through his people—what a gift that he never changes! In this final episode, Emily and Laura share their hope and prayer for the R|M community. From a few practical tips for living out a risen motherhood to their prayer for you as we part ways, we hope this show points you to the God who is faithful to complete the good work he began in you, dear mom—he will surely do it.

Farewell 05: Motherhood and The Internet—Our Predictions
It’s no secret that the Internet has changed and shifted multiple times over since Risen Motherhood kicked off in 2016—as technology moves at an ever-faster pace, Emily and Laura thought it would be fun to think about what the future of motherhood in the digital age will look like. More importantly, they share a few practical thoughts on how we as Christian moms can think wisely about the way we consume content from online influences. The cherry on top? They end with a few fun predictions for one another: what their future projects may look like, how the Lord will continue to work in and through them, and more. Fortunately for us, God has already planned every step; we can’t wait to see what he has in store. This episode is brought to you by our generous donors.

Farewell 03: What You’re Doing Matters, Mom. Here’s Why.
When we’re organizing the family calendar, packing lunches, or making a snack for our toddler, it can be tempting to feel as though no one sees our work as moms—but here’s the thing: God does see. God cares! Loving our children and faithfully tending to the tasks in front of us is a way we live a life of worship and make a Kingdom impact. In this episode, Emily and Laura unpack the phrase “every moment matters”—not because we’re expected to be perfect in every moment, but because no act of love and service is ever wasted. When we recognize that seemingly unspiritual, everyday things can be a chance to enjoy God and point others to his love, we can live for him in moments big and small.

Farewell 02: Did We Over-Spiritualize Motherhood? (And Other Critiques of the Ministry)
Anytime you produce something public, you open yourself up to criticism—and Risen Motherhood was no different. Over the years, we received feedback of all kinds: encouraging, loving, constructively critical, and at times, hurtful. Maybe you’ve experienced the same in your own ministry work, or simply in everyday life. In this episode, Emily and Laura unpack some of these critiques and share their hearts for why they did or didn’t make certain decisions throughout the life of the ministry. Honestly, R|M wasn’t for everyone. But the gospel is for everyone, and we’re so grateful for the ways the Lord used us to bring the hope of Christ to so many moms. To him be the glory!
