Trust God to Meet You in Motherhood

Sometimes motherhood feels like you're running on autopilot, moving so fast that you forget where you're going. Other times it feels like you're just trying to hold it all together while working through a never-ending list of errands.

But Jesus' invitation to follow him isn't limited to people with empty calendars and picture-perfect families. It's for moms waiting in carpool lines, cheering from the bleachers, and pacing outside a doctor's office. It's for moms who are tired, overwhelmed, running late, and somehow still trying to be faithful.

Moms on the Way offers moms of any age a chance to journey through the challenges of motherhood together. This Bible study includes access to weekly teaching videos and offers a practical way to encourage one another, share honestly about your struggles and hopes, and encounter the God who invites you into a process of spiritual transformation.

Through studying women in Scripture, this seven-week Bible study addresses these often-unspoken challenges that moms face:



- When we need a friend

- When we feel ashamed

- When we feel resentful

- When we feel like we don't have enough

- When we're caught up in the rat race

- When God invites us to embrace vulnerability

- When all we can taste is bitterness



Kathy Tuan-MacLean and Tara Edelschick, authors of Moms at the Well, invite moms to draw near to God and to one another as you share your struggles. Each week you'll study how God meets you where you are, welcomes you into honest conversation, calls you to trust and obey, transforms and sets you free, and invites you to be an agent of shalom.

With Moms on the Way, find encouragement in Jesus' healing and transforming presence and experience how God meets you where you are in motherhood. You'll see that motherhood is meant to be a sacred journey, walking alongside the God who promises to be both your guide and your destination.
