The Warrior Mama Podcast

There are endless opinions on what it means to be a “good mom,” and it’s easy to let outside voices and debates creep into our homes.
Bethany explores how to root your parenting in the gospel, not the noise. She shares how to stay grounded in God’s Word, hold the gospel high in your home, and resist the pressure to measure up to everyone else’s standards.
Bethany also emphasizes the power of our words. Speaking kindly and intentionally over our children creates a pathway for their growth and sets the tone for your home. She encourages moms to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and trust that walking with Jesus will teach you exactly what you need to know.
Motherhood is not meant to be done alone. Bethany reminds us why community with like-minded moms is essential, helping us stay focused on what truly matters and avoid distractions from foolish debates.
This episode is for any mom wanting to parent with confidence, clarity, and gospel-centered conviction.

In this episode, Bethany is joined by her husband Troy to talk about disobedience in children and what parents actually do in the moment it shows up.
They speak honestly about mistakes they’ve made and what 27 years of parenting has taught them. Disobedience isn’t treated as surprising or alarming. It’s named as a normal part of raising kids and something parents should expect.
Bethany and Troy talk about why disobedience often feels personal, how quickly parents move into reaction, and why learning to pause matters. They walk through how to look at what motivated the behavior and how to respond with clarity instead of control.
The conversation also breaks down what obedience and disobedience really mean, the different places children can be in when they disobey, and how these moments can be used for instruction rather than power struggles.
This episode gives parents a clear way to think about disobedience and a steadier framework for responding when it happens.

As the new year begins, Bethany invites parents to pause and reflect on a deeper question: Do we have a clear, God given vision for where our children are going?
In this episode, Bethany explores what it means to seek God’s perspective in parenting and trust that He has uniquely designed each parent for the children they are raising. God knows our children intimately, is fully attentive to their lives, and is actively at work in their growth and development. He invites us to see them the same way He does.
Bethany shares practical ways to bring confusion, frustration, and moments of perceived failure before the Lord through intentional reflection, writing, and prayer. Drawing from Jeremiah 33:3, this conversation emphasizes praying God’s Word and becoming students of our children as we learn to parent with clarity and purpose.
This episode encourages parents to let God’s way inform their motherhood and begin the year grounded in His perspective rather than their own.

In this final episode before Christmas, Bethany opens Isaiah 9 and talks through what it means to call Jesus the Lord of Hosts. She explains the passage in a clear, grounded way and reflects on what God’s zeal actually looks like in real life, not just in scripture.
If you are heading into Christmas feeling like you have done all the planning, all the hosting, and all the preparing, yet still wondering if Jesus is really present in the middle of it all, this episode offers reassurance. He is with you, fully invested, and not distant from your everyday Christmas moments.
Merry Christmas.

The holidays can be messy. Between hurried schedules, unexpected conflicts, and moments that don’t go as planned, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
This special re-air is part of a six-episode series exploring the names of Jesus. In this episode, Bethany reflects on Jesus as our Intercessor. Just as a child might step in to defend a sibling after an accident, Jesus speaks on our behalf before God. He advocates for us, provides righteousness, and offers spiritual blessings so we can rest in his grace and hope.
