Leaning into Grace: An Interview on Faithful Motherhood with Debbie Martens | Ep. 116

Moms have a lot of work to do and the exhaustion of our responsibilities in the home, the church, and the community, often leave us wanting to lean into despair and defeat... But God uses the work before us to show us his sufficiency and unending love in our weakness so we can lean into grace. In this episode, Emily and Laura interview Debbie Martens about God’s faithfulness and grace in motherhood. Debbie is a wife, mom of seven, and grandmother of six who is actively involved in her local church and community. We’re called to be faithful to God in the work before us, but even when we fail, God is faithful to teach and sustain us in every season of motherhood.   RM APPLY   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: Risen Motherhood on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter R|M Abide Method Ep. 49, When Mama Gets Mad, Part 1: What’s Under the Surface?
