Some days, motherhood feels deeply meaningful. Other days, it feels like wiping counters, making lunches, repeating yourself for the hundredth time, and wondering if any of it really matters. If you’ve ever gone to bed thinking, “I’ll do better tomorrow,” this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast is for you.

I had the joy of talking with bestselling author and speaker Rhonda Stoppe about her new book, Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed, and Faithful. Together, we talked honestly about mom guilt, comparison, prodigals, spiritual motherhood, God’s grace, and the sacred significance of everyday faithfulness.

I especially loved how she reminded us that the women of Scripture were real women—fearless at times, flawed at times, but always deeply loved and used by God. Their stories remind us that God doesn’t require perfection from us as mothers. He simply asks for willing hearts surrendered to Him.

In this episode, we discuss:
• How God uses imperfect mothers
• The danger of comparison and control
• Why spiritual motherhood matters
• What to do with regret and mom guilt
• The quiet significance of ordinary faithfulness
• How loving God first shapes the way we love our families

Rhonda also shares beautiful encouragement for weary moms and reminds us that the greatest thing our children can witness is not perfection—but a mother who genuinely loves Jesus.

Whether you’re parenting little ones, teenagers, adult children, or simply pouring into the next generation spiritually, I think this conversation will encourage your heart.

Love,
Rachael
