Mom Guilt or Holy Spirit Conviction? Joy, Comparison & Real Talk // 4

CHRISTIAN MOTHERHOOD: The REAL Conversation | Honest conversations about faith, family, & marriage, Christian Women Podcast, Christian Wife, Biblical Parenting

Soft cookies, hard seasons: from choc-chip banter to the heart of mom guilt—comparison, joy, and conviction—in real time with Elyse (AUS) and Michelle (USA). We unpack how to take thoughts captive, spot the difference between condemnation and conviction, and find joy that outlasts the chaos.

Scripture touched gently: 2 Corinthians 10:5; Deuteronomy 6:6–7; Philippians 4:8; James 1:2—simple, doable ways to apply them in everyday motherhood.

3 Key Takeaways

1. Name it to tame it: Is this mom guilt or the Holy Spirit’s conviction? Condemnation isolates; conviction invites change (2 Cor. 10:5).

2. Truth > comparison: Replace the scroll’s lies with what is true, lovely, and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8).

3. Home is your first mission field: Simple rhythms—bedtime prayers, meal-time thanks, talk as you go—live out Deut. 6:6–7 and nurture joy in trials (James 1:2).
