What My Mother Taught Me
Description
What if your greatest contribution to the kingdom of God is not something you do, but someone you raise? In this heartfelt and humorous episode titled What My Mother Taught Me, Stephen looks at the life of Timothy and the godly influence of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois. Their story—tucked into the pages of Acts and 2 Timothy—is both surprising and deeply encouraging.
You’ll discover that God often works through imperfect circumstances: broken homes, absent fathers, and past mistakes. This message explores six powerful observations about how God uses mothers to pass down the truth of Scripture, demonstrate grace, and raise children who honor Him. Whether you’re a single mom, married with support, or raising kids in spiritual isolation, this episode will renew your strength and sharpen your focus.
Alongside biblical insight, you’ll enjoy lighthearted reflections on the lessons moms teach—like passionate prayer, logic, perseverance, and the art of sneaking vegetables. But more than anything, you’ll be reminded that God’s grace is sufficient for every parent.
This is a tribute to every mother who prays, teaches, loves, and presses on—even when no one seems to notice. If you’re looking for encouragement and wisdom for the parenting journey, don’t miss this episode.
