In our weakness, He is strong. A simple truth so easily forgotten, which is why I am honored to be bringing Emily Jensen on today to discuss weakness and what to do when we feel weak. While no one ever wants to feel weak, the reality is we all face these feelings at some point, so it’s important to know what to do when we come face to face with our weakness and, more importantly, what God says about it.
Emily Jensen is the cohost of Risen Motherhood podcast, co-author of the book Risen Motherhood, and most recently, author of He Is Strong - Devotions For When You Feel Weak.
Emily shares hope, encouragement, and personal stories on weakness and I pray you leave feeling uplifted and reminded that your weakness doesn’t count you out, but gives you an opportunity to lean into the strength you have in Christ.

When it comes to our kids, discipleship often feels like this big, intimidating thing that we know we need to do but we’re not quite sure how to do. Right?
Here’s the good news, friend: discipleship is actually quite simple, and it’s not something we need to stress about or feel pressure about.
It’s less about the big, planned moments and more about you as a parent making the conscious decision to center your life around Christ. When you make Christ the center of your home, discipleship is inevitable. As the apostle Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ.
So today we’re going to discuss what discipleship is, why we should care about it, and we’ll talk about two different types of discipleship and how to be sure they are both happening in your children’s lives. So lean in and let’s get into another episode of The Joy Filled Podcast.
“These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates.”–Deuteronomy 6:6-9 CSB

This time of year, there is often a lot of pressure and weight on us mamas to do and be everything for everyone. We’ve got presents to buy, decorations to be hung, parties to host, treats to bake, and the list goes on. If we’re not careful, we’ll get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the most wonderful time of the year that we’ll forget to ever stop and wonder at the magnificence of the reason why we celebrate in the first place - that little baby that was laid in a manger all those years ago.
So today I’m sharing with you the one thing that has helped me the most when it comes to keeping the peace and joy in this time of year. Grab your favorite warm and cozy drink and let’s dive into this episode of The Joy Filled Podcast.

Overwhelm is something we all face, but it’s not something we need to try to avoid or outrun. You will experience overwhelm in life, that’s a guarantee, but overwhelm is a feeling to acknowledge, not a place to camp out and take on as an identity. So instead of trying to figure out how to avoid it, in this episode we’re going to talk about how to move through it, lean into it and give it the attention it deserves, and continue on forward because just like every other feeling we experience, overwhelm is simply a messenger alerting us that some things aren’t quite right.

We’re all trying our best to handle it all, whatever “it” is for you. Motherhood, family, work life. Balancing home and kids and social activities and all the things. It can feel sort of impossible to handle it all, right? Friend, I’ve got good news - you and I were never created to handle it all on our own. We were created to be in community with the Lord, walking with him, working with him, and inviting him into every portion of our lives as we cast our cares on Him.
One of the best ways to truly “cast our cares” is through prayer. So often I hear of women who are afraid to pray or simply don’t know how to pray, so today we are talking all things prayer in hopes that you leave with a clear understanding of what prayer is and how we can apply it to our lives. We’ll talk through things like the basics of prayer, the different kinds of prayer, when and how to pray, and writing out your prayers.
I hope you enjoy this episode of The Joy Filled Podcast!
