- Motherhood is rewarding, but it can certainly have its challenges. And sometimes, you just need to step back, close your eyes, say a little prayer, and take a breath. On this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Kirsten Watson offers encouragement for moms in the trenches. As a mom of seven and wife of NFL veteran Benjamin Watson, Kirsten reminds you to embrace your identity in Christ and trust God through the everyday-ness of motherhood.

Mom of two elementary aged children and one young adult, newly a SAHM, and I’m homeschooling for the past 2 years. I needed to hear this because I’ve been struggling. Thank you Kirsten for sharing.
I have 4 littles 8 and under with no support, and my husband works out of town most of the week. I adore my littles, but motherhood often feels defeating and suffocating these days. Please pray for me! 🥹❤️
I'm a mom of 2 girls, and l really needed this. Thank you so much for the encouragement. Sometimes, l just feel like l'm doing nothing, l should be out there working and making money .
Me too! Some days I feel as if because I’m not making money, I’m not doing anything. It’s such a worldly perspective. Making money doesn’t determine our productivity. You’re doing a great work Momma!
I'm a mom of 6 and I constantly feel like if I don't keep a white knuckle grip of control over the doings of my home, everything spirals out of control and I am a failure. Even just a little bit of a break has criticism and consequences. I can't breathe sometimes and I feel like am drowning and I am angry and controlling all the time. I'm struggling to mesh intense grit with gentleness. I want to be motherly but idk how.
I am also a mom to 6 and feel like I could have wrote this!! You are doing a amazing job momma!! 💕
I hear you! I was angry too.
Hi, Kelsie! We can certainly understand the feelings you expressed. We'd like to encourage you to call us at 855-771-HELP (4357) weekdays between 6 A.M. and 8 P.M. (MT) to talk with one of our Christian counselors (at no cost to you.) In the meantime, please know you're in our prayers. May God be with you, and may He strengthen you daily!
@Kelsie Goodwin My sister, I am praying God’s Great Grace over you. I applaud you for being transparent. Please play the audio Bible and/or worship music throughout your home daily. And please get into counseling. I was angry raising 1 child as a single parent with a full time job. But I didn’t even realized how much my unchecked anger negativity affected my son. I have always loved Jesus. Anger was due to unresolved issues from my childhood. I have repented many times to Jesus and to my son who is now grown. We are believing and praying for complete restoration through Christ Jesus redemptive Blood.✝️👑💝
Thank you Focus On The Family!💖🌏💒
I relate as a mom of 4 and 1 on the way. 2 year old twins, 4 and 6 year olds. There's a channel called The Daily Connoisseur here on YT. I highly recommend it. Jennifer L. Scott is the creator. She's also a book author. If you can, get her book Connoisseur Kids. It's very helpful. We moms have to help each other and I'm planning to start an organization to do just that.
Many days I don't even get to comb my hair so I understand your pain. I've cried many days and said "Lord, please help me get through this day." We don't have family nearby so no babysitter ever. It's amazing but exhausting.
Can I ask how old your kids are?
This was really encouraging. I've listened to it twice this week.
Thanks for this podcast. I’m always blessed through this channel. I’m a Stay at home mom of 2, and it is really nice to get encouragement that comes from heaven!
Such a great watch! Thank you for your encouragement Kirsten and Focus on the Family. I’m a mom of 4 and I know the Lord has called me to this role long before I knew it. I’m always thankful for accepting the call to be a mom as it isn’t easy, there is a lifetime reward.
I love this broadcast. Thanks to focus on the family. I depended on all you had to offer through the many programs for families. I raised 5 children and worked a full time night job for 25 years. I only knew that it was strength from the Lord and program like focus that came along side to offer support. My children are grown and I look back now to say THANK YOU FOCUS ON THE FAMILY!!
We had lots of fun along with some struggles but it made me a better mom.
Would love to see something about grandmother's raising they're grandchild. Thank you kindly
We're raising two grandchildren
Thank you for your feedback. We will pass this on to our Broadcasting team. In the meantime, you might find this broadcast with Chrys Howard helpful: bit.ly/3XklKXZ
Blessings!
What a broadcast!!! Thank you so much!!! Already has my vote for best of 2023 :)
Thank you! Sending love, pass it on! God please save females and boys from the misogynistic men. Amen.
Thank you. I needed to hear this today 😭
This is a beautiful testimony. I admire her transparency ❤
This really blessed me. I needed this. Thank you!
Thank you for this encouragement ♥️
Dude! I say that to my kiddo❤Love the thing he was thankful for. Reminds me to be patient to have something special!!😊🙏🏻🙌🏻🤲🏻
Beautiful message for this specific season! Thank You!
This was phenomenal! I love how candid and practical this is - very helpful. I'm excited to get the book! Often what we need to do is listen to the wisdom of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Modern wisdom is a pittance in comparison. I love The Daily Connoisseur channel where she goes through the Little House books from Laura Ingles Wilder. So, amazingly helpful. And just reading those books, "Little House In The Big Woods" is amazingly helpful. Many others that can be named. Connoisseur Kids is a great book to help teach our kids etiquette, manners and other important disciplines.
Amen
