Mothering with Jesus: Finding Confidence Through Faith with Layna Massey
Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that’s close to my heart – mothering with Jesus and finding unshakable confidence through our faith. I’m thrilled to introduce you to the incredible Layna Massey, host of the “Mothering with Jesus” podcast and a mom of four beautiful girls.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Layna’s journey from beauty blogging to faith-based podcasting
- The importance of listening to and acting on divine inspiration
- How to navigate the overwhelming amount of parenting advice
- Finding confidence in motherhood through a relationship with Christ
- The power of going back to basics in our spiritual lives
- Balancing personal growth, business, and motherhood
- The reality vs. expectations of motherhood
- Creating a vision for your family and aligning decisions with that vision
Key Takeaways:
- Trust in divine guidance: Layna shares how she received clear inspiration to start her podcast, reminding us that God is always willing to guide us if we’re open to listening.
- Simplify your approach to spirituality: We often overcomplicate things, but staying close to God can be as simple as daily prayer and scripture study.
- Embrace individual inspiration for your family: What works for one family may not work for another. Trust in the guidance you receive for your unique situation.
- Remember your divine identity: Knowing who you are as a child of God provides a foundation for confidence in all aspects of life, including motherhood.
- Partner with God in parenting: Recognize that your children are individuals with their own purposes, and work with God to help them fulfill their potential.
Quotes to Remember:
“We look at priorities incorrectly. The priority is a thriving family, right? The priority cannot be, ‘Oh, should I choose organic or not?’ It’s what are the decisions that you need to make to support the priority.”
“I want my home to be a sanctuary for my children. I want it to be a refuge from the storm. I want them to know that I’m a safe place and that they are just an important part of our family.”
Action Steps:
- Take some time to reflect on your priorities as a mother and how they align with your faith.
- Implement a simple daily spiritual practice, like reading a verse or saying a quick prayer.
- Next time you face a parenting decision, try asking, “What is something only I can do for this child?”
- Review your patriarchal blessing or other spiritual guideposts to reconnect with your divine identity.
- Look for opportunities to partner with God in your parenting, seeking inspiration for each child’s unique needs.
Remember, mama, you’ve got this! Your confidence as a mother doesn’t come from having all the answers or doing everything perfectly. It comes from knowing who you are, trusting in God’s guidance, and being willing to learn and grow alongside your children.
