39. Faith, Frustration, and Motherhood: The Unspoken Pain of Mother’s Day in Church‌

Mother's Day is a time when many communities celebrate the hardworking moms in their midst, but for some, it's also one of the most painful days on the calendar. Stories from the other side of Mother's Day have been shared for years now, but male-led churches continue to push these special services and activities on an overwhelmingly unwilling congregation. It's time we change that. This week, Janna and Stephanie Connor join the podcast to talk through the highs and lows of Mother's Day within evangelical Christianity. We'll listen to stories from dozens of women who have experienced the unspoken pain of this holiday, reevaluate the classic Proverbs 31 woman, and reconsider if churches really need a special service for Mother's Day. We hope this episode gives voice to those suffering silently in church communities; we stand with you today and always. And for those who are celebrating today, we celebrate with you and hope you and the mothers in your life have a wonderful day.
