Kingdom Mamas- Faith Community Encouraging Mothers to Raise Their Children in the Way They Should Go

What if we doubted who we are, doubted our purpose, doubted that we belong but trusted God anyway in who He calls us to be? What if we allowed Him to fill the spaces of unknown and unbelief? This week, Hannah Conway, challenges us to do just that.

Take a little listen.

Hannah R. Conway is a Social Media Marketing &

Communications Coordinator and Women’s Ministry

Director. She’s a best-selling author, podcast host on

“What’s Your Story? With Hannah & Stephani”, and

and her family live near Nashville, Tennessee.

May we be so awestruck by Jesus's gift of salvation that we are giddy. Sometimes we get caught going through the motions and forget what it is that Jesus did for us. I pray I never take His sacrifice for granted.

Take a little listen.

We live life distracted the majority of our days, but we don't have to. What if we lived the pace that Jesus has set forth in our lives instead, breaking off the stronghold of distraction and living according to God's purpose and will for our lives? How freeing that would be. Take a little listen.

Isn't it amazing to see how God has provided you with people in your life to be a light in this dark world? It's our job as Jesus followers to also be the light to others in order to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Take a little listen.

God's word is very much alive and active still today. What happens when we start our day in His word. We see just how active He is in our own little world. Take a little listen.

What do we do when hard situations leave us on a rollercoaster ride of what ifs??? We be still and know that the God of all Creation loves us so much that He is in the battle with us and that He will work all things out for good.

Take a little listen.

On this week's episode, Samantha talks us through what boundaries are, who created them, what they are for, what they look like vs what they don't look like and how we know if we have poor boundaries. Take a little listen.

Samantha earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Northwestern State University in 2006 and her Master’s Degree in Social Work from The University of Houston in 2008. She then spent eight years working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital pursuing her Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentials, leading her into private practice, where she has been since 2015.

Samantha works with children, teens, young adults, women, and families in dealing with all areas of mental health. She has a desire to shed light and offer support in settings, where mental health may otherwise be overlooked. Samantha lives in Moss Bluff, Louisiana, along with her husband Kyle, their three sons, and their golden retriever. Samantha and her family serve in their local church in children and adult’ ministries. When Samantha is not at the soccer field, basketball courts, or baseball fields, she enjoys curling up with a good book and strongly feels naps should be a regular part of self-care. 

As a motivational speaker, Samantha desires to use her professional experience and biblical perspective to help others dealing with their own mental illness or caring for someone suffering from mental illness.

For 7 years, I have asked my son, Parker, to make it possible for me to be able to walk on or even see his floor. It's just a mess. Monday morning, I saw that his light was on and I went to turn it off. The first thing I see is a clean floor, and a made bed. All I could think is that I wished it was dirty again.

Chelsey is the author of, More of Him, Less of Me: Living a Christ-centered life in a Me-centered World (and you can join the launch team below!). I also host the the Living With Less Podcast birthed from John 3:30, "He must increase, I must decrease". These two things bring her great joy and a deep sense of humility as she gets to share her heart on what God's taught her and is currently teaching her.

Along with the joy of speaking and being a new author, she loves to write devotions for Lifeway's Journey Magazine, iBelieve.com, Crosswalk.com, Exhale Women, and YouVersion.

Lastly, Chelsey deeply believes in the restoration + redemption we have in Jesus Christ. As a late bloomer to accepting Christ she knows the feelings all too well of living under the lie that she wasn't worthy of God's love and that a rebellious young woman like her didn't need a savior. Which is why she's here in this season of God nudging her to share the layers of her messy yet beautiful story of believing and living in the freedom Christ has for all of us. He changed her life and she knows He will change yours.
