Wow! Six years into podcasting and the 265 episodes of this show have been downloaded 8.7 million times across 204 different countries. Today we are celebrating our podcast-iversary with a “best-of” show featuring clips from your favorite episodes.

We’re also featuring testimonials from listeners who share how the podcast has helped them not mom alone. Like these quotes from moms:

“This podcast has really become my one-stop show for all things parenting. I love how you cover such a wide range of topics and how all of your guests are filled with grace and grounded in God’s word and his truth.”

“It has totally changed my perspective on motherhood. I’ve gone from feeling quite frustrated and alone to knowing that other moms are dealing with the same things. I don’t feel quite so lonely. All the encouragement is really changing my life.”

Thanks so much for listening to the Don’t Mom Alone podcast. I’m thankful it’s made an impact in your lives. When I started this six years ago, I couldn’t imagine where it would take me. As for the future? Well, we’ll just have to see where God takes us!

How to Discern God's Will and Stick With It :: Tricia Goyer [Ep 179]

You clearly heard God’s call. But why is obeying Him sometimes so difficult? In today’s interview my longtime friend and renowned author, Tricia Goyer, discusses obeying the Lord even when it isn’t easy, and how He blesses the faithfulness of His children. Listen as Tricia discusses the unique way the Lord grew her family through unplanned pregnancies, biological children, foster care, and adoption. You’ll love her honesty and transparency as she shares the hard moments that had her questioning decisions, and the way the Lord has blessed her family along the way. What we chat about: Obeying the Lord’s call to adopt (again and again and again) even after feeling “finished” Taking a break from speaking and writing to shepherd her daughters as they healed from past trauma. The sacrifice of stepping away from public ministry to focus on personal ministry at home. Understanding God’s heart and direction for our lives by spending time in His Word and in prayer Being called to multiple ministries and projects Seeing a need that coincides with God’s commands from His Word Trusting God while navigating His direction for our lives Obeying God even when it’s hard and you find yourself asking, “why did I do this?” Reaching out to our support systems when walking through hard providence Finding beauty in the chaos and being thankful for the hard times Moses communed with God face to face despite being called to a seemingly impossible The importance of steadfast obedience even though we want a quick fix The legacy we pass to our children when they see us obey the Lord despite difficulty Links Mentioned: “Night Song” ** “Daring Escape” (releases Jan 2018) ** Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby ** “Walk it Out” **

Drop the Superwoman Myth :: Jessica Honegger [Ep 178]

Mom and entrepreneur Jessica Honegger shares a bit of her story behind starting her business Noonday Collection and a whole lot of truth about partnering with God in both motherhood AND entrepreneurship. This has definitely been a journey where God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called. I didn’t have a background in fashion or an MBA, but I have always been passionate about bringing justice for the poor and more opportunities to those in our midst who haven’t had as much opportunities. Jump into her story with me and get ready for real-talk about letting go of cultural norms and superwoman myths and finding freedom in who God says you are. It’s just the pep talk we need to do the things God has called us to do and not sit any longer in fear, insecurity and comparison. "Get up and go!!" What we chat about: The background story of Noonday Collection. How Jessica started her business when her children were small and struggled with the definition of a “good mom”. Finding freedom knowing there wasn’t a dichotomy between being a mom and a businesswoman. Focusing on what helps your individual family flourish instead of following others’ paths Getting clarity from God on who he says you are brings healing and gives us freedom to pursue the work he has for us. God has not called us to just sit and pray, but to go and be out in the world doing his work. Stopping the superwoman myth and admitting we need help in areas of life, especially in areas we aren’t gifted in or don’t enjoy. Creating the spaces and community we need--focusing on what you have. How to support friends who run small businesses. Stories of people whose lives have been impacted by Noonday Collection.
