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.
