Mom Chronicles

Rachel Mitchell and Amanda Ripley

Mothering small children is a busy and loud time of life, but we believe God speaks in the midst of the diaper changes and dirty dishes. We're learning to listen for Him through whichever means He chooses to speak, and we're finding that it is often through our kids or through our own mouths as we parent them. We are learning what it is to be a child of God as we raise our own children, and we are discovering more and more about our Father and how He sees us. As longtime friends who regularly swap lessons learned, we want to invite you in on our conversations about the things we're learning.

In this episode, Amanda and Rachel share what they have been learning about refueling their spirits just as they refuel their bodies throughout the day.
