The Warrior Mama Podcast

Can ordinary moments shape extraordinary faith in your children?
In this episode, Bethany sits down with Elise Orozco, founder of Raising Rock, to explore how parents can intentionally build biblical character in their children one conversation at a time. From playground conflicts and messy kitchens to cultural headlines and bedtime questions, Elise shares how God transformed her view of parenting after leaving a successful corporate career to become a stay-at-home mom.
Together, Bethany and Elise unpack the framework that has become the heartbeat of Elise's family: Respect. Obedience. Courage. Kindness. Rather than focusing on behavior modification, they discuss how parents can shepherd their children's hearts, disciple them according to their unique personalities, and faithfully point them back to Jesus through life's everyday moments.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why being present isn't enough—your presence needs intentionality
How God used an unexpected hardship to completely redirect Elise's life and priorities
A practical framework for teaching Respect, Obedience, Courage, and Kindness every day
Why discipleship happens in the "in-between moments" more than the big ones
How to have biblical conversations about today's culture without parenting from fear
Why every child needs to be discipled according to how God uniquely designed them
The freedom of realizing that changing your child's heart is God's job—not yours
Why prayer is still the greatest parenting strategy you'll ever have
Encouragement for moms who feel like it's too late to start

God doesn't call parents to be perfect. He invites us to faithfully point our children to Jesus through the ordinary moments He places in front of us every day.
Be present. Be intentional. Trust God with the results.

Can discipline become one of the greatest opportunities to share the gospel with your children?
In this special episode, Bethany is joined by her husband, Troy Kimsey, for an honest conversation about how God transformed their approach to parenting. Rather than simply raising well-behaved children, they share how the Lord taught them to pursue something much deeper—a child's heart.
Together, Bethany and Troy explore why discipline isn't about behavior modification but heart transformation. They discuss how seeing children through God's eyes changes the way we parent, why every child's unique personality is part of God's design, and how the gospel reshapes the way we respond to disobedience, strong wills, and everyday parenting challenges.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why the goal of parenting is heart transformation—not behavior modification
How discipline reveals what your child believes at the heart level
Why your children are in process, not a product
How to see your child's unique personality through God's eyes
Practical ways to use discipline as an opportunity to share the gospel
Why your identity—and your child's identity—is not based on performance

God hasn't called you to manufacture perfect children. He's invited you to partner with Him as He shapes their hearts.
Parent with grace. Speak life. Point them to Jesus.

Can shame keep you from believing who God says you are?
In this powerful episode, Bethany sits down with author, speaker, and Bible teacher Tori Masters for an honest conversation about breaking free from shame, healing from past wounds, and discovering your true identity through the truth of God's Word.
Drawing from her own testimony, Tori shares how hidden shame, fear, and a performance-driven faith kept her in bondage for years before God led her into lasting freedom. Together, she and Bethany explore the difference between conviction and condemnation, why motherhood often exposes the deepest places of our hearts, and how God's grace meets us there with healing instead of shame.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The difference between conviction and condemnation
How shame distorts your identity in Christ
Why motherhood often reveals hidden struggles in our hearts
Practical steps to identify and replace lies with biblical truth
How God's redemption transforms your story
Why lasting freedom comes through believing what God says about you

You don't have to stay trapped in shame or strive to earn God's approval. Freedom begins when you believe the truth of who you are in Christ.
Lay down the lies. Embrace His grace. Walk in freedom.

Can busy moms grow spiritually without finding hours of uninterrupted “quiet time”?
In this encouraging episode, Bethany sits down with author and Bible teacher Hanna Seymour to discuss her book, Everyday Spiritual Habits: Small, Simple Ways to Transform Your Faith, Starting Now.
Hanna explains how small “seed habits” can help mothers walk with Jesus in the middle of laundry, diaper changes, bath time, potty training, and everything else filling their days. Together, she and Bethany discuss practicing God’s presence, replacing grumbling with gratitude, and developing Christ-centered friendships that strengthen our faith.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why motherhood’s chaos doesn’t disqualify you from spiritual growth
• How to create small, sustainable spiritual habits
• Why consistency is more effective than intensity
• How to connect everyday routines with prayer and Scripture
• Why Christ-centered friendships are essential
• How prayer, gratitude, and celebration can transform your faith
You don’t have to escape the chaos to meet with Jesus. He is already with you in it.
Start small. Stay rooted. Walk with Jesus.

Welcome to the new season of the Warrior Mama Podcast — and welcome back to the kitchen table.
This fall, we're talking about one thing: identity. Who you are in Christ, what that means for how you parent, and how to stop letting the enemy convince you that your worth as a mom is tied to your performance.
In this season premiere, Bethany opens with a vision for what Warrior Motherhood is building — and dives straight into the first truth every mom needs to hear before anything else: You are beloved. You are blessed. Not because you've earned it, but because Jesus died for you.
You'll hear the story of a three-year-old, a box of smashed pink Valentine's cookies, and a crumpled drawing of a frog on a lily pad — and why those moments look a lot more like our own hearts than we'd like to admit. Bethany walks through John 13:3, Ephesians 1:3, and Colossians 2 to show you that just like Jesus, you can move through motherhood knowing your identity, your calling, and your destination — unshaken by the storms, the opinions, and the hard days.
When you understand who you are as God's daughter, discipline gets easier. The reactivity softens. You stop mothering from a place of fear and start mothering from a place of freedom.
This season is going to be powerful. Let's get started.
