Wait. Didn't Lent start a week ago? Well, yes. And that's kind of the point of today's show. Erin grew up observing Lent, and I (Brooke) didn't. But we've both found meaning and purpose in it in our adulthood. I like Lent and what it means for me and my family, but personally, I've been up to my eyeballs in book edits (yes, we'll be making a new book announcement soon!) and I'm behind on absolutely everything. But Lent is not about legalism, and it isn't too late to start! Join Million Praying Moms (Brooke McGlothlin and Erin Mohring) as they help you understand what Lent really is, how it can bless your family, and share specific resources (see below) your family can use to participate!

Why is praying for our kids, and really just prayer in general, so important? If you've been a Christian a long time, it can be easy to get lazy or too familiar with foundational Christian disciplines, like prayer. We say to ourselves, "Of course prayer is important. I know that..." and then we get distracted by life and forget to make it a priority. We've all been there. If that describes you, someone who truly does know that prayer is very important, but has maybe let life get in the way of making it a part of your every day experience, this show is for you. Tune in for your refresher course on the importance of prayer, with Million Praying Moms!

As we're closing out 2020 this week, we wanted to do a round-up of sorts...or a list of things God has taught us about prayer as we've walked through this very, VERY strange year. There have been times when we didn't feel like God was listening. Times of frustration. Times of plenty. And times of where we felt the presence of God so beautifully. Up, down, all over the place...but God remains the same. Join us today for a special bonus podcast as we interview the author of Everyday Prayers for Hope, Stacey Thacker. Visit the show notes to get your five free scripture-based prayers for hope! And remember to get your digital copy of Everyday Prayers for Hope FREE when you purchase Stacey's new book, Threadbare Prayer: Prayers for Hearts That Feel Hidden, Hurt, or Hopeless.

Look closely at the heart of Mary, Mother of Jesus, this Christmas. Most of the time, the episodes we release are designed to help you get better at praying for your children. But during this sacred season—when the world pauses for just a bit and we reflect on the coming of the Christ—we invite you to focus on your own heart as well. For the next five days, Brooke McGlothlin will share a devotion she wrote called Mary Prayers: 5 Prayers for a Mom's Heart. Each devotion will take a close look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, exploring what scripture tells us about her, and allowing it to influence the way we think about and look at parenting. We'll look closely at how Mary interacted with Jesus, what qualities of womanhood she needed to fulfill the call God placed on her life, and pray for God to make us more like her. This study is the perfect way to to get your heart in the right place as you approach Christmas! Download them all at one time, or listen to one each day as you approach the birth of the Savior. Merry Christmas!

A Covid Christmas. Like it or not, that's the Christmas we're all getting this year. It isn't the Christmas we asked for. It certainly isn't the Christmas we all want, but it's the reality we're all dealing with, some of us more deeply than others. We confess...we've been thinking of the change to 2021 with a certain amount of longing. Maybe, at least on a subconscious level, we all have. We've been trained to think of the turning of the new year as a fresh start..or a new beginning. God's mercies are new every morning and we treat a new year the same way. But reality is closing in. Covid will probably not magically disappear on January 1. On today's show, we explore the realities of a Covid Christmas, helping you learn how to find joy despite any difficulties that might come because of it. But we also spend some time exploring how we can make that joy last into 2021, because Covid is not magically going away any time soon, much as we might want it to.

Parenting children with special needs, learning disabilities, or mental health challenges can feel overwhelming at times. Even in "normal times," we struggle to make the best decisions for their needs, we worry about how they will fit in with others, we are anxious about what the future will bring, and so much more. And then times of change or challenge hit - a move, a school change, a health issue, or even a pandemic - and the struggles and stress seem to bury us. There is hope. Our guest, Sandra Peoples, is one of the leading voices in the special-needs community. Sandra and her husband Lee have two sons—David and James. James has level 3 autism. They live outside of Houston, TX where Lee is a pastor and Sandra serves as their church’s special-needs ministry director. Sandra also has a sister with Down syndrome which gives her a life-long perspective on being in a special-needs family. Most of all, she is a longtime friend and contributor to the ministry here at Million Praying Moms! In this episode, Sandra addresses some of the most common challenges facing special-needs moms when things turn upside-down and gives practical, Christ-centered tips for dealing with decision fatigue, change in or loss of routine, and more.
