When Motherhood Isn't What You Expected w/Katie Faris

In this episode, Krystal had the pleasure of chatting with Katie Faris about unmet expectations and challenges we face in motherhood. Through the ups and downs, Katie shares how her faith in God sustained her in seasons when life didn’t turn out how she had hoped. Whether you are a mom or have close friends who are moms, this conversation will remind you of the hope we have in Christ alone. We do not cling to our roles as mothers—we cling to the Lord. We pray this conversation is an encouragement for you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Remember His faithfulness, His care, and His promises.   Sign up for the Daily Grace Podcast Newsletter and receive the free resource "Scripture for Every Season.”   Time Stamps:   1:01 - Favorite things 5:38 - Katie’s motherhood story 9:04 - Seeing God’s goodness in the sorrows of motherhood 12:20 - Why moms often disregard their feelings 18:38 - How to encourage a mom walking through a difficult season 20:35 - Practical tips for remembering what’s true when motherhood is difficult 28:00 - What the gospel has changed for Katie   Favorite Things:  Red Sea Road Album by Ellie Holcomb   Resources mentioned in this episode:  God is Still Good Book   Connect with Katie: Instagram Website   Connect with us: Subscribe to Daily Grace: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.  On Android, click this podcast RSS feed link and choose your podcast app.  If needed, you can copy this link directly into your favorite podcast app (like Stitcher or Overcast).
