Joined by special guest Sadie Dodson, we explore why fear and self-doubt surface so easily in motherhood, how God designed us for connection, and how staying anchored to the Good Sh...
As sheep of the Good Shepherd, we are called to one flock. But in a divided culture, staying unified is easier said than done. In a world that constantly demands we "pick a side," how do we personally resist the pull of division and instead model a life of safety + security for our children?
Today, we continue our Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd series by diving into a challenging section of John...
In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we continue our series Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd and explore what it means to have life with the gospel amid the everyday rhythms of motherhood.

We’re joined by Jen Oshman: author, missionary, ministry leader, pastor’s wi...
In this episode, we’re slowing down to practice Lectio Divina: an ancient, prayerful way of listening to God through Scripture. As we transition from Psalm 23 into John 10 for the spring semester, we’ll meditate on Jesus’s words, “I am the Good Shepherd.”
Together we’ll walk through four simple movements:
- Read—Notice what stands out from the passage.
- Reflect—Consider what God might be saying through the passage.
- Res...

What does it really mean to be blessed?

Motherhood is really wonderful and can also be exhausting—whether you’re chasing toddlers, navigating teen drama, or walking alongside adult children, you probably know the deep ache for refreshment. The world offers plenty of quick fixes—another scroll, another show, another cup of coffee—but those rarely leave us fully restored. Psalm 23:2 reminds us that the Good Shepherd offers something better: true refreshment...
We live in a world that constantly tells us we need more, deserve more, and should never be satisfied. Yet Psalm 23:1 reminds us, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I have all that I need.” So what does it really mean to live with contentment when our culture fuels discontentment at every turn?
In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we’re continuing our series Safe + Secure: Life With the Good Shepherd with specia...
In this episode, we slow down and reflect on just the first phrase of Psalm 23: “The Lord is my Shepherd.” What does it mean to live as someone who is cared for, guided, and protected—especially as a mom in a world that often tells us we have to be everything for everyone?
Join Melanie and Christy as they unpack how this one powerful verse speaks to our daily lives—offering rest for the overwhelmed, direction for the...
As we explore what it means to live Safe + Secure: Life with the Good Shepherd, much of our focus this season will come from two key places in Scripture: the book of Psalms and the Gospel of John.
In this bonus episode, we’re diving into how to approach the Psalms—because while they’re beautiful and rich, they can also feel a little intimidating or confusing if you’re not sure what to look for. Are these passages jus...
