64 | Don’t Stay Stuck in Routines, Embrace God’s Leading - Devotion

Do you ever cling to old routines or habits because change feels too overwhelming?

Have you compared yourself to other moms and been too afraid to step into something new God is nudging you toward?

Are you ignoring God’s gentle nudges because your priorities are shaped more by survival mode than faith?

If so, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. We have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

In this episode, I’m sharing a devotional comparing potty training and spiritual growth to help you recognize where you are on your own spiritual growth as a Christian.

• Growth means leaving behind comfort.

• God knows exactly what we’re capable of.

• Spiritual growth is slow, messy, and repetitive.

• God prepares us long before the moment of change.

• Training isn’t pleasant, but it produces deep fruit.

• God leads us deeper one step at a time.
