Don’t you love to see your child excel at what he or she is good at and then receive recognition for it? I do.

My boys love sports and music, and you better believe I am the loudest person there to celebrate a good hit, a three-pointer, or a song well played.

In fact, sometimes I have to reign myself in and remember that things like sports and music can teach my sons a lot about life, being good men, and even following Christ. But there’s more to life than excelling at the things our children love.

Our hearts as moms tell us our kids need to be the best, the greatest, for their lives to really matter. But Jesus says the greatest shall be the servant of all.

Do we want them to be favored or do we want them to follow Christ?

Your support helps Million Praying Moms keep this podcast going—all funds provide for the work of the team and systems necessary to bring you a new episode each weekday. In fact, the podcast has grown to the point that we desperately need to hire part-time help. In the month of May, we’re asking God to provide 100 new supporters. That’s a big ask, but we believe God can do it.

Would you be a part of His provision?
