Beyond the Pews: Motherhood with Grit and Grace
Challenging Church Norms. Embracing Authentic Grace.
Moms of Faith has had a complete rebrand. This isn't your grandma's Christian mom group. Here, we're shattering stereotypes and challenging the status quo. We're diving deep, questioning old norms, and getting real about the church's shortcomings. Because faith should empower, not constrain. Let's build a faith that fits our real, messy, modern lives and confront the 'cult-like' vibes head-on. Let's redefine what it means to be a Christian mom.

“OH MY GOSH!… MOM! MOM! MAAHHHHHHHM! COME HERE MOM! QUICK! What? Something must be terribly wrong. Dear God, please don’t let him be hurt. I wonder what the emergency is…this time. Oh, as I run to the kitchen from the bowels of the laundry room at break neck speed, I can not seem to arrive…

As I have said before, being a mom means wearing several different hats. When you are the mother (or parent, dads can wear many hats too!) of a special needs child your hat wardrobe expands even more! I know that after the smoke settled with Caleb’s illness, I had to take on new roles that…
