Stay ConnectedMom On Purpose is a podcast to encourage and re-energize moms. Join Jess Connell as she interviews intentional, Christian moms about the real-life challenges they’ve faced, and the practical solutions and biblical wisdom they’ve found to go the distance.
Regain your focus on the long-range purpose of motherhood, and be the intentional Christian mom YOUR kids need.
As Christian wives, sexual intimacy can be a challenging issue. Worldly influences, shame, sin, and the busyness of life all make it difficult to embrace the beauty and goodness of God's design for sex in marriage.
Listen in as Jess talks with author & speaker Linda Dillow about:
Listen in as Jess talks with Linda Dillow (wife, missionary, author, speaker) about:
Many moms feel overpowered by anger, and find it difficult to be consistent in discipline.
"If you do that ONE more time..." "Do you want to get in trouble?" "I can't take it anymore!"
Listen as Jess talks with Wendy about:
The influences of culture and modern ideas about parenting bring a continual barrage of attacks against biblical parenting. As women we often face discouragement and fears that come from culture, a lack of role models, our own upbringing, and more. Let's dig in to discover the dangers of giving in, and how we can press through challenging moments in our quest to give consistent, loving, biblical discipline to our children.
Listen in as Jess continues talks her friend Wendy, about:
Time-outs? Spankings? Loss of privileges? What constitutes "discipline?" Even self-described "Christian" sources can disagree on what godly parents should do to discipline their children. That's why believers need to look to God's Word for our understanding of biblical parenting.

Listen in to part 2 of this conversation where Jess talks with Bethany Weatherby about:
Every mom knows the struggle of the grocery store run... WITH kids in tow. Listen in as Jess talks with Bethany Weathersby, a mom of 4, about:
Doesn't cooking with kids take MORE time? Well... maybe... but maybe that extra time is worth it, so that our kids can learn an essential skill for life.
Listen in as Jess talks with Tracy Grossman about:
The messy kitchen. Recipes. Allergies. Calories. Food groups. Grocery store sales. Sometimes mealtime feels like a puzzle, and at other times it just feels a mundane, relentless task. Do you have trouble seeing mealtime as a ministry?
Listen in as Jess talks with Tracy Grossman about:
The Bible is meant to be loved and treasured... and yet, sometimes there is a sense of dullness, familiarity, and boredom in our approach to God's Word. How can we find ways to energize and enliven our study of God's Word?
Listen in as Jess talks with Lisa Hughes about:
Motherhood requires constant adjustments and flexibility. How can busy moms find time so we can be grounded in Scripture?
Listen as Jess talks with Lisa Hughes about:
Ask almost anyone how they're doing, and there's a good chance the response you'll get is: "busy." As moms, how can we wisely evaluate each opportunity to ensure we're being led by the Spirit of God in our family commitments?
Listen as Jess talks with Shelley Miller about:
Extracurricular commitments can benefit our families... or burn us out. How can we make wise decisions, and rightly prioritize the Kingdom of God, in our kids' activities?
Listen as Jess discusses these things with Shelley Miller:
When you're the mom, organizing home is an ongoing task. We need to evaluate the attitudes we have toward the work God puts in front of us. How can we stop despising the daily, ongoing work of motherhood?
Listen as Jess talks with Mystie Winckler about:
Being Mom means embracing a previously-unexperienced level of chaos, and yet, important questions wait for us in the middle of the messes and noise:
