The Warrior Mama Podcast

Bethany Kimsey welcomes you for a quick cup of coffee, some laughs and maybe a few tears as we talk about the realities of motherhood. As a mother of 8 children ranging in age from 5-21, Bethany has learned the freedom of applying gospel truths to the daily details with children. Together we will learn how to take spiritual truths into the micro and macro moments of motherhood. How do we make this fuzzy intersection of real life mothering and the gospel clearly defined for vision and confidence? Connection happens when we meet together in the real spaces-- the kitchen tables of life-- sharing stories of hope, truth, and grace. When God breaks through everything changes about our motherhood, and we can walk with confidence and purpose.

  Feel Stuck Waiting on God? He’s Still Moving with Jenessa Wait

  Sep 22, 202657 min

  What if the season that feels like it's holding you back is actually the season God is using to prepare you for what's next? In this episode, Bethany sits down with author Jenessa Wait to talk about identity, motherhood, waiting on God, and moving forward in faith when His promises feel far away. Jenessa shares the heart behind her book, Moving with God: Nine Keys to Get Unstuck and Step Boldly into His Promises for Your Life , and how God has used seasons of motherhood, loss, waiting, and surrender to teach her that His work isn't reserved for some future version of our lives. The season you're in right now—even when it feels mundane, difficult, or completely different from what you expected—can be part of how God is preparing you for what's ahead. Together, Bethany and Jenessa talk honestly about finding your identity as a daughter of God, surrendering the promises you're holding onto, replacing unbelief with faith, and trusting God when you can't see what He's doing. They also explore how motherhood itself can become a place of preparation as we learn to faithfully steward what's in front of us and trust God with what's ahead. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your identity in Christ has to come before what you accomplish for Him How the season you're in right now may be preparing you for what's next What it means to wait on God with expectancy instead of simply waiting for circumstances to change Why surrendering God's promises doesn't mean giving up on them How your words can reveal whether you're partnering with faith or unbelief Why faithfulness in motherhood can be part of fulfilling the Great Commission How to trust that God is still moving even when you feel stuck, overlooked, or forgotten You don't have to rush through this season to get to where God is taking you. He can use the waiting, the surrender, and the ordinary faithfulness of today to prepare you for what's ahead. Trust His timing. Steward this season. Keep moving with God.

  Episode #434

  Are You Trying to Do It All? with Dina Deleasa-Gonsar

  Sep 8, 202659 min

  What if the life God is calling you to isn't about doing more—but being faithful with what He's already placed in front of you? In this episode, Bethany sits down with Dina Deleasa-Gonsar to talk about identity, motherhood, calling, and learning to recognize the significance of the everyday work God has given us. Dina shares her journey from school counselor to food television, cookbook author, wife, and mom—and how God has taught her that our worth and calling aren't measured by our productivity, platform, or ability to "do it all." Whether you're in the boardroom, the playroom, or standing at the kitchen sink, the place God has you today can be a meaningful mission field. Together, Bethany and Dina talk honestly about busyness, comparison, anxiety, changing seasons, and the pressure to make everything happen on our own. They explore what it looks like to keep returning to God's truth, trust His faithfulness, and recognize the small moments of joy that remind us He is present in the ordinary. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you don't have to "do it all" to live faithfully How to recognize and embrace the season God has you in right now Why comparison can distort the way you see your own calling How to bring anxious thoughts and difficult emotions honestly before God Why mistakes and wrong decisions can still become opportunities for God to refine you How to recognize the ordinary moments where God is already at work Why everyday obedience can have a greater kingdom impact than you realize You don't have to manufacture a bigger calling or accomplish everything at once. Faithfulness begins with trusting God and stewarding what He's already placed in front of you. Release the pressure. Embrace your season. Be faithful today.

  What If You Don’t Have Time for a Quiet Time? with Chelsey DeMatteis

  Aug 25, 20261h 9m

  What if growing closer to Jesus in motherhood isn't about finding more time—but inviting Him into the time you already have? In this episode, Bethany sits down with author Chelsey DeMatteis to talk about her book, Mercy in the Margin: 52 Devotions to Encounter Jesus in the Mix-Up, Mess-Up, and Marvelous Moments of Motherhood. Chelsey shares how motherhood taught her that meeting with God doesn't require a perfect quiet time, an uninterrupted schedule, or another thing added to your to-do list. God's mercy meets moms right in the middle of ordinary days—in rocking chairs, messy kitchens, overwhelming moments, and even the times when you feel like you're about to lose it. Together, Bethany and Chelsey discuss releasing the pressure to be the perfect mom, recognizing your limits, trusting God with your children's futures, and finding meaningful friendships that help hold you up when motherhood gets heavy. In this episode, you'll learn: How to find margin with God without adding another thing to your schedule Why God wants to meet you in both the mundane and messy moments of motherhood How to release guilt and shame when you reach your limits Why you don't have to carry the responsibility for your child's entire future How motherhood can teach you to recognize and trust God's voice Why meaningful friendships are essential when motherhood gets heavy You don't have to create more margin for God before He meets with you. His mercy is already present in the middle of your everyday life. Slow down. Receive His mercy. Walk with Jesus.

  What Do You Do When Your Child Is Afraid at Night? with Chloe Kimsey

  Aug 18, 202651 min

  What if bedtime fears could become an opportunity to teach your child how to trust God? In this episode, Bethany sits down with her daughter-in-law Chloe to share the story behind Sleeping Fearless , a children's book created to help kids face fear, worry, and anxiety with the truth of God's Word. Born from Bethany's own experience helping her children through difficult bedtimes, Sleeping Fearless pairs common childhood fears with seven promises from Scripture. Bethany and Chloe discuss why the goal isn't to teach children never to feel afraid, but to give them biblical tools to bring their fears to Jesus and learn to trust Him. Together, they share the heart behind the book, the meaning woven throughout Chloe's illustrations, and practical ways parents can use Scripture and prayer to help their children rest in God's promises. In this episode, you'll learn: The story behind Sleeping Fearless and the Scripture pillowcase that inspired it Why children don't need to "get over" fear—they need to learn what to do with it How to help your child respond to worry and anxiety with God's Word Practical ways to teach children to pray Scripture The meaning behind the oak tree woven throughout Sleeping Fearless How the book became the beginning of the Big Truths for Little Ears series You can't remove every fear your child will face, but you can teach them where to turn when fear comes. Speak truth. Pray Scripture. Teach them to trust Him.

  Are You Raising Good Kids—or Kids with Godly Character? with Elise Orozco

  Aug 12, 20261h 2m

  Can ordinary moments shape extraordinary faith in your children? In this episode, Bethany sits down with Elise Orozco, founder of Raising Rock, to explore how parents can intentionally build biblical character in their children one conversation at a time. From playground conflicts and messy kitchens to cultural headlines and bedtime questions, Elise shares how God transformed her view of parenting after leaving a successful corporate career to become a stay-at-home mom. Together, Bethany and Elise unpack the framework that has become the heartbeat of Elise's family: Respect. Obedience. Courage. Kindness. Rather than focusing on behavior modification, they discuss how parents can shepherd their children's hearts, disciple them according to their unique personalities, and faithfully point them back to Jesus through life's everyday moments. In this episode, you'll learn: Why being present isn't enough—your presence needs intentionality How God used an unexpected hardship to completely redirect Elise's life and priorities A practical framework for teaching Respect, Obedience, Courage, and Kindness every day Why discipleship happens in the "in-between moments" more than the big ones How to have biblical conversations about today's culture without parenting from fear Why every child needs to be discipled according to how God uniquely designed them The freedom of realizing that changing your child's heart is God's job—not yours Why prayer is still the greatest parenting strategy you'll ever have Encouragement for moms who feel like it's too late to start God doesn't call parents to be perfect. He invites us to faithfully point our children to Jesus through the ordinary moments He places in front of us every day. Be present. Be intentional. Trust God with the results.
