Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t that something disappears. Sometimes… it doesn’t. In this milestone episode, I share what a recent movie and this season of transition in our family has reminded me about surrender, “even if” faith, and holding grief and gratitude at the same time. You can’t control the outcome — but you can anchor your hope.
Have you ever felt hidden? Unnoticed? Behind? In this devotional-style episode, Courtney shares a powerful reminder: just because a season feels quiet doesn’t mean God is absent. Drawing from Psalm 1, the lives of Elizabeth, Joseph, and even Jesus, Courtney explores how Scripture reframes hidden seasons — not as wasted time, but as preparation time.
After a few unexpected weeks off the air, The Mom Show is back, and this episode is a heart-to-heart about what happens when life forces a pause. Behind the scenes, technical issues required time, patience, and prayer. At the very same time, our kitchen was being completely remodeled. It was chaotic, inconvenient, and unfinished.
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Courtney sits down with Cara Shine, a mom, teacher, and believer with a remarkable testimony of finding Jesus in the midst of chaos and fear. Raised in the Jewish faith, Cara spent much of her early life feeling rejected and judged by the Christians around her. The bullying she endured as a child left lasting scars, shaping her view of Jesus and her sense of belonging.
