As a community of moms, we want to remind you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, tired, or like you just have no idea what you’re doing? Same, girl! But we are all in this together; trying to figure it out and parent towards a goal.
We launched the Fearless Mom ministry not because we parent perfectly, but because we believe passionately that if moms lean in and embrace the responsibility of parenting, rally together, and cheer each other on, we can literally change the world. After all, we’re responsible for raising the next generation – and that’s a pretty big deal!
Are you ready to get inspired, renewed, and reinvigorated about motherhood? Are you looking for your tribe, or maybe just your sanity? We’ve got you covered on all counts! The Fearless Mom Conference on February 26, 2022, is a full day of laughter and learning for moms in all stages of motherhood to gain practical parenting tools, build friendships and step away with a renewed sense of purpose and joy for being a mom. We want moms to get filled up, and we want to FILL UP the room for this in-person conference! Invite and gather with your mom squad, neighborhood friends, or church group.

As a mom there are many reasons we find ourselves longing for friendship in different seasons.
Maybe you’re new to motherhood and you don’t have any friends at this stage of life yet. Maybe you recently moved for a spouse’s job and you’re stuck at home, knowing no one but your kids! Or maybe your children have moved on to a new season of life and your schedule doesn’t line up with your friends’ schedules anymore. Whatever the reason, we all find ourselves longing for friendship at some point in time. Why is that?
Well, our Heavenly Father created us for community! God himself is never alone, because He is in constant community as part of the Trinity! And we are made in His image, mommas.
The desire within you and within me to be loved and to have others around us to love on is a good thing, something hardwired within us by God. We were made for community and relationship. Healthy friendships keep you healthy as a woman, and the healthier you are, the better mom you will be for your children. Today I want to encourage you to do a self-check on your friendship priorities:
-
Do you have a “tribe”?
It doesn’t have to be big, but you need “your people”. Are there 1 or 2 women you could call on a hard day for encouragement?
-
Are you being intentional to connect with your friends?
Sending a quick text can be the simplest way to connect with someone even in your busiest times. Whether it’s sending a funny meme, checking in via text, or setting up a lunch date, I think we need to try to connect weekly with our friends.
-
Are you praying for friends?
If you couldn’t answer yes to my first question, pray and ask God to send you a friend. God cares about every part of your life and especially you having community! He will hear you and respond.
