Episode 12: Unlimited Motherhood with Jessica Hurlbut

finding our identity within—and beyond—motherhood

Jessica is a straight-talking writer, pastor, runner (and American Ninja Warrior, whaaaat?!), and mom to five: two adopted, two autistic, and one typical teen boy.

She is a champion for foster care and adoption. She is also a champion for moms discovering their God-given purpose and calling—within AND beyond their mothering.

I have to warn you: you’ve got to listen to this one at your own risk. You will likely feel challenged & convicted to go do whatever it is that you’ve been setting aside for years now, because it hasn’t been the right time.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • That time Jessica planned a 110-mile run (in 1 DAY) to raise awareness for foster care & adoption

  • God’s original intent for men & women & marriage & calling, as evidenced by creation

    • P.S. you might be surprised what the Hebrew translation for “helpmate” is when God created woman in Genesis

  • Parenting not as the end goal, but as training wheels for laying down our lives for others throughout our whole lives

  • Doing what we can with what we have, and what happens when God’s exponential nature is applied to it.

  • Mom guilt—and how to get free of it
