Is something fighting to keep you from praying for your kids? In this episode, we dig into the spiritual attack on prayer for your children and expose the enemy's three favorite tactics: distraction, discouragement, and division. As Christian moms building faith-filled homes, we don't have to feel powerless — Ephesians 6 gives us a biblical blueprint for prayer that actually works, even when it's just two minutes long. You'll learn why prayer isn't about eloquence but about posture and total reliance on the Holy Spirit, why isolation makes you vulnerable, and how unity with other believers can tear down the enemy's plans.

95. The Fruit of the Spirit in Everyday Motherhood: What John 15:4 Actually Means for Busy Moms

Is the fruit of the Spirit something that just happens for other moms… or is there actually a way to grow it in the middle of your own everyday chaos? Grab your free seat for the Building a Spirit Led Home Workshop - https://www.thepurposeofmotherhood.com/spirit-led-home-workshop In this episode of The Purpose of Motherhood podcast, Ashlee gets honest about a struggle every Christian mom knows well — wanting to respond with patience, kindness, and gentleness, and instead running on empty by 9am.

94. Why Obedience Still Matters: What the Bible Says About Raising Obedient Kids in a Faith-Filled Home

Is obedience still something Christian moms should be pursuing... or have we moved past that? In this episode of The Purpose of Motherhood podcast, Ashlee tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian parenting today — and she is bringing Scripture into the conversation. If you have ever heard "we're not after obedience, we're after the heart" and felt confused about what that actually means for how you parent, this episode is for you. Ashlee opens up about a childhood memory of breaking her arm after disobeying her dad — and how that moment taught her something about obedience that no conversation ever could. Together we are walking through what the Bible says about raising obedient children, including Ephesians 6:1-3 (the command AND the promise), Proverbs 22:15 (folly bound up in the heart of a child), 2 Timothy 3:1-2 (children disobedient to their parents as a sign of the last days), and more. You will learn why obedience and heart work are not opposites, why disciplining your children with…
