  95. The Fruit of the Spirit in Everyday Motherhood: What John 15:4 Actually Means for Busy Moms 06.08.2026 14min

  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-workshopIn 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.Ashlee shares a lesson she learned from gardening, of all places, about how the right soil changes everything, and how that unexpected lesson pointed her straight to John 15:4 and Jesus’ call to “remain in Him.” If you’ve ever felt like bearing good fruit as a mom is just about trying harder and gritting your teeth through the hard moments, this episode will shift the way you think about it entirely.Together we’re walking through what it practically looks like to remain in Him even when your mind is consumed with everyone else in your home, including why fruit isn’t something you produce through effort, but something that grows naturally out of staying rooted. Ashlee shares three practical, doable ways to remain in Him in the middle of a full and busy home: opening your Bible and memorizing it, learning to pray as a habit, and keeping worship music on.This episode is for the Christian mom who wants a faith-filled home, who wants to disciple her children with confidence, and who is tired of feeling like patience and gentleness are personality traits she just wasn’t born with.In this episode we cover: • What John 15:4 actually means for busy Christian moms • A gardening lesson that reframes how you think about bearing spiritual fruit • Practical ways to stay rooted in Christ without adding another thing to your to-do list • How staying rooted in Him equips you to disciple your children with confidenceThe Purpose of Motherhood podcast exists to help Christian moms build faith-filled homes, disciple their children with confidence, and find their purpose in the everyday moments of motherhood.

  94. Why Obedience Still Matters: What the Bible Says About Raising Obedient Kids in a Faith-Filled Home 17.06.2026 22min

  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 consistency is one of the most loving things you can do, and how raising obedient kids now is directly connected to raising children who will fear the Lord and walk in wisdom for the rest of their lives.This episode is for the Christian mom who wants a faith-filled home, who wants to disciple her children with confidence, and who is ready to stop apologizing for believing what God's Word actually says.In this episode we cover:What the Bible says about obedience and why it still applies todayThe cultural lie that has crept into Christian parenting — and how to push backWhy folly is already in the heart of your child and what that means for how you parentThe connection between honoring your parents and fearing the LordPractical ways to raise obedient kids without parenting from fear or harshnessWhy discipline and love are not opposites — they work togetherThe Purpose of Motherhood podcast exists to help Christian moms build faith-filled homes, disciple their children with confidence, and find their purpose in the everyday moments of motherhood.

Today's episode of the Purpose of Motherhood podcast is for the Christian mom who is exhausted, isolated, and quietly wondering why this season feels so heavy.The truth is... you were never meant to do this alone. And Scripture is really clear about that.In this episode, Ashlee shares a personal story from one of the hardest moments she's had as a mom — and what happened when a friend simply showed up. From there we dig into what the Bible actually says about bearing one another's burdens, why Christian moms are one of the most isolated groups of people right now, and three practical ways you can start building the kind of God-centered community where burdens actually get lifted.We're unpacking two powerful passages — Galatians 6:2 and Matthew 11:28-30 — and what it really means to be yoked to Jesus as you show up for the people around you.If you want to grow in your faith, build faith-filled homes, and disciple your children with confidence, this episode will remind you that none of that was ever meant to happen in isolation.

In a world that pushes our children toward Ivy League acceptance, six-figure careers, and the approval of the crowd, Ashlee is making a bold case for raising kids who submit their plans to the Lord first and follow Him wherever He leads — even when that path looks nothing like the world's definition of success.In this episode, Ashlee shares why she and her husband are intentionally preparing their five children for Heaven, not Harvard.
