Customer Reviews
Solid, Faith-Based Encouragement for Moms!
I'm so encouraged by the Risen Motherhood podcast. Laura and Emily both bring a strong faith-based perspective to the oftentimes cluttered conversation about motherhood and family. I so appreciate that they have taken the time to pursue this dream and share their perspectives with others.
Fun & Inspiring
For years I have been starting my day with some quiet time, Bible reading and coffee, but now I get to add Risen Motherhood to that list. It's as if I'm having a cup of coffee with my friends and chatting about life. So fun and uplifting!
So relatable! A "subscribe" must
Yay for a quick listen packed with honest and hope filled encouragement this Jesus Mom need to hear today. Looking forward to the rest in this series!
