Identity in Christ for Moms | Biblical Confidence, Freedom from Guilt, Healing from Shame, Closer with God
There is a yearning inside of you for a deep and meaningful relationship with God. You love Him, but not as much as you know you could. Or should.
You struggle with feelings of guilt because you know that often you’re just going through the motions rather than eagerly drinking from the well that never runs dry.
You go through spurts of motivation and excitement and then crash down on feelings of discouragement, apathy, or hopelessness.
I know what it’s like to feel just a little lost. A little bit stuck. Or even, just flat-out complacent.
I understand that the reality of mom life and the day-to-day tasks can get in the way of all our best intentions. I also know that sometimes it’s just sheer exhaustion that keeps us from moving forward and growing in the Word of God and in our faith.
God knows that motherhood is demanding. Yet He made a way for you to be a mom and have a vibrant spiritual life and connection with Him at the same time. He means for you to thrive in life, not merely get by.
Let me be that voice in your ear (literally and figuratively) pushing you forward. Encouraging you. Sharing stories of healing and victories. Reminding you of His amazing love and amazing grace.
And, maybe, giving you a swift kick in the pants to keep you going.
My name is Helen Siemens, and in this podcast, I want to talk to you like I would to a friend over a hot cup of coffee, reminding you of the truth you already know. Stirring you up to love and good works. Cheering you on as your sister in Christ, walking with you through spiritual growth and intentional living.

Have you ever had an area of your life that you just don’t want to face? Maybe it’s a dream that didn’t turn out the way you hoped, a prayer that went unanswered, or a wound that still hurts too much to touch. Instead of tending to it, you’ve left it alone, like a garden you’re afraid to step into because you know the weeds have taken over.
In this episode, we talk about how disappointment and unmet expectations can cause us to neglect parts of our lives and how to invite God back in to bring healing, restoration, and hope.

Do you feel the constant pressure to measure up — as a Christian woman, a mom, a wife, or just in life? The truth is, you’ll never be “enough” on your own… and that’s actually the best news.
In this episode, we talk about finding grace when you stop relying on yourself and start resting in God's sufficiency. Your worth isn’t based on performance, and God’s grace is more than enough for your every weakness.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of guilt, shame, or feeling like you’re falling short, this conversation will point you back to the truth of who God is and who you are in Him.

Your view of God shapes everything! How you live, how you love, and definitely how you see yourself.
If you believe He’s distant, harsh, or disappointed, you’ll live disconnected and defeated.
In this episode, we discuss how false beliefs about God silently shape your life and how seeing Him rightly brings peace and true connection.

Do you ever feel like your time with God is missing something? You sit down to pray... or maybe you don’t. You know you need Him, but somehow you don’t make space to seek Him.
If you’re struggling to feel close to God, let’s take a deeper look at what might really be going on beneath the surface. In this episode, we’ll talk about two subtle roadblocks that could be standing in the way of deeper connection. No shame. No pressure. Just an honest invitation to pause, reflect, and seek Him again with your whole heart.

I don't doubt that, like me, you have heard these two words frequently over the past few years: Alignment and Empowerment.
They sound like good words, don't they? It even feels good to say them!
But in this episode I'd like to talk about what the world means when using these words and what is actually biblical.
It's important for us to be discerning and differentiate meanings from a biblical perspective rather than to be led astray through crafty ideas that sound a lot like truth but are peppered with lies that lead us into ungodly living.

Are you living in a constant state of self-condemnation? Do you find yourself beating yourself up over what you said or didn't say, what you did or didn't do? Do you feel like you can never get it right, and no matter how hard you try, you just can't feel good about yourself? Living in a place of condemnation is exhausting, and it’s not the way we’re meant to live.
There’s freedom in Christ, and He gives us grace! He is tender towards us. He intends for us to live with peace and rest in our hearts. I want to encourage you today with the truth of who you are and what the Word of God says about you, and I hope you believe it!

Wherever you are, right in this very moment, God can meet you there! We know that God is all we need, in the general sense, but do we understand that He is exactly what we need in each moment? He is the I AM. But I think we don't always realize what that means.
Today, I want to encourage you by going through many of the different names for God, so that you can truly see that He is what you need, no matter what you are going through.
Are you running to Him? Do you lean on Him and trust Him? He is waiting. He is able. In Him, you have no lack.

It's not only about what you do, but also the attitude with which you do it. Are you doing everything with excellence and as unto the Lord, or are you doing the bare minimum? Do you have a bad attitude about the work you do, or towards the people closest to you?
Let us keep in mind why we're here and Who we are doing all of this for. Let's move past the "bare minimum," or "Fine! I'll do it, but only because I have to" mindset and do all things heartily for our heavenly Father.
He will reward us accordingly.

Today's episode is really a heart to heart about the real difficulties of forgiving someone who has hurt you. It can be extremely hard when you've been hurt so very deeply. I've been there more times than I like to admit. Hurt, and especially when there's betrayal, can leave us vulnerable and doubting ourselves in ways that feel completely crushing. Sometimes, forgiveness seems impossible.
But God.
He makes a way. We don't have to do it in our own strength, and He can make beauty from ashes, though it usually doesn't happen overnight. Let me share with you the things that have helped me to step out of the bondage of unforgiveness and find freedom.
