EP 75 // You Don’t Have to Do It All as a Christian Mom - Finding Peace Today

Does your to-do list feel like it never ends? As a busy Christian mom raising kids ages 8–12, it can feel like everything is urgent. There is always one more task to finish, one more person who needs you, and one more thing you are afraid you might forget. In this episode of Faith Mom Mentor, Anne welcomes award-winning author and former high-tech executive Margaret Agard, author of the In His Footsteps memoirs, to share how giving her daily to-do list to God transformed the way she approached motherhood, work, priorities, and stress. While raising eight children, working as an executive, and finishing her university degree, Margaret reached a season where she was exhausted and overwhelmed. She began taking her responsibilities to God and asking a simple question: “Lord, what would You have me do today?” That practice changed more than her schedule. Margaret shares how surrendering her priorities to God helped her experience greater peace, sleep better, create margin for her children, and become more aware of the people and opportunities God was placing in front of her. In this episode, you’ll discover: • How to give your to-do list to God • Why Margaret began praying over her priorities at night • How surrendering daily tasks can reduce overwhelm • Why God’s priorities may look different from what feels urgent • How creating margin can help you be more present with your children • A powerful prayer for seeing your child the way God sees them • One simple question you can begin asking God each day 📚 READ MARGARET AGARD’S IN HIS FOOTSTEPS MEMOIRS Available in print, ebook, and audiobook: https://amzn.to/4r7oiJI  ⭐️ FREE GOSPEL CLARITY STUDY GUIDE For moms of kids ages 8–12: https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/gospel-clarity-study-guide ⚡️ FREE EBOOK Reclaim Your Role as a Godly Influence in Your Middle Schooler’s Life: https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/time-truth-trust-EBOOK 📖 Joshua Bible Study: https://amzn.to/40rPF4o 📖 NLT Large Print Premium Value Thinline Bible: https://amzn.to/3Ndslol 💡 HORACIO PRINTING Save 15% on your entire order with code: LIFEANDPEACEMINISTRIES https://www.horacioprinting.com/?dt_id=2969303 💡 Pair your planner with Systemize Your Life: https://offers.chelsijo.co/sylcheckout?am_id=faithmommentor CONNECT WITH FAITH MOM MENTOR YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FaithMomMentor?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeandpeaceministries/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61592507375460 Free Christian parenting resources: https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/blog Book Anne to speak at your event: https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/speaker-page Faith Mom Mentor helps moms guide kids ages 8–12 to walk with God as we build faith together at home.
