Former pediatric nurse, Bethany Adkins knew that God was telling her it was time to make a change. Like many women, she fell into the trap of thinking that her worth can through her degree, a job, and everything that our culture pushes people to do. It became a tug of war on her heart, and God was telling her it was time to stop.

Bethany and her husband Corey found a passion for helping other Millennial parents and adults break the stigma of the “lazy millennial” and get tools with raising the next generation. Through her new book, the My Why Journal, she helps parents work with helping kids learn to ask good questions and where to find answers. Through this dialogue and intentional conversations, she believes that our conversations with our kids, no matter the age, affect our relationships with them and how they relate to culture.

Romans 12:12-23-

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.  For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.  If they were all one part, where would the body be?  As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”  On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,  and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty

Throughout her studies for her podcast All God’s Women, Sharon has gleaned so much wisdom from the women of the Bible. Sharon agrees that there is “nothing more humbling than raising a child.” The study of the Proverbs 31 woman is what started her passion for further understanding what God wants to teach us through the women of the Bible, ranging from completely obscure to the most well-known.

Some examples of Biblical Mom stories that have inspired her are Mephibosheth’s nurse (who only has one verse!), Rizpah, and of course Mary. While she doesn’t necessarily feel that all of the mothers are “exactly like her,” she has been amazed at what we can learn through their experiences. It has become clear that the people and stories of the Bible are intentionally put there by God, no matter how short or obscure they seem, and that we have a lot that we can learn from them, especially the women of the Bible.

Sharon is a podcaster, filmmaker, radio host, and Bible teacher whose passion is to help other women better understand the Master Storyteller and all that he has done for us.

Luke 2:19 – But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Being a special needs mom is one of the absolute hardest and most rewarding jobs in the world. Julie Holmquist and I have a lot in common with our struggles in being moms of special needs sons, ranging from our dreams of cleaner houses to our identity issues in this journey. One major thing that helps in that is remembering the story from John chapter 9 where Jesus healed the blind man. When asked if he or his parents sinned, Jesus responded with “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” (verse 3). Remembering that having a special needs child isn’t a punishment to either the parents or the child is key to our perspective and changes the way that we see our situations. Special needs moms also struggle with embarrassment/shame and isolation, we want to remind all of you mamas that you are not alone! We don’t know about the future of our typical kids any more than we know about our special needs kids. And it is so very clear that God placed them in our families to be a blessing and be blessed by us, and only He can give us the strength to do that.

Isaiah 40:11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
