1 Corinthians 8:1-8 | Victorious in Motherhood | Susan Tou

September 1, 2025 • 37:08 • Aubrie Hoover

If we could have our focus and attention on God and others, doing all things in love, that would bring total transformation to every aspect of our lives, our churches, communities and societies.

Today Aubrie sits down with her boss, our Director of Communications, Susan Tou to dig into 1 Corinthians 8. God has given us the amazing gift of community and walking in faith alongside other believers. It is important to be aware of our thought life and how we are living because it not only affects us, but can either encourage or discourage our fellow believers. Lets walk in a way that blesses others and brings glory to God!

ABOUT OUR GUEST

In 1994, I was a young mother of three boys and pregnant with my fourth, when my mom bought me the Moms in Prayer Booklet. I was in a stage of life where I would have protected my children from everything if I could, but I quickly discovered that was impossible. As I started praying in a Moms in Prayer group, my relationship with the Lord began to take shape. I went from knowing about Him, to really trusting Him, His name, and His character. Praying together with other moms not only taught me how to pray, but how to let go of all I wanted to control and to trust GodHis word, His work, His provision, and His plans.

My husband Tom and I have been married for 41 years and we live in Deshler, Ohio. We have been blessed with four sons, two beautiful daughter-in-loves and five adorable grandchildren. I have been a part of Moms in Prayer for over 30 years. I served as the State Coordinator for Ohio from 2015-2022. I currently serve as the Great Lakes Division Coordinator, which include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

SCRIPTURES

The heart of man plans his way,

    but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 ESV

Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is your victory?

    O death, where is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55 ESV

You prepare a table before me

    in the presence of my enemies; Psalm 23:5a ESV

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 ESV

If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. Gods ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind and as the manner in which a human spirit is infused into the little body of a baby while it is yet in its mothers womb. Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will growperhaps it all will. Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 TLB

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed 

That I would see the goodness of the Lord 

In the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 NKJV

Tackle every task that comes along, and if you fear God, you can expect his blessing. Ecclesiastes 7:18 TLB

1 Corinthians 15 | Victorious in Motherhood | Sally Burke

Every day we get an opportunity to say to God, Here I am. I am Your vessel. How can I live for you? We have a choice. Are we going to live for the world? Or are we going to live for God? Life with God is full of joy, peace and love! Moms in Prayer President, Sally Burke, joins us again to talk through 1 Corinthians 15, the chapter where our theme Victorious comes from. We CAN be victorious in life and in motherhood because of the truth of the gospel and because God is with us!

She and husband, Ed, now have four grown children, two sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. In her leisure time, youll find Sally on a walk/run, curled up with a good book or enjoying the company of friends.

1 Corinthians 14 | Victorious in Motherhood | Heidi Fromke

Whatever our gifts are, we need to use them to build up others and point them to Christ so they can know Him and He can receive the glory. Heidi Fromke, our Appalachian Division Coordinator, joins us on the podcast today to talk through 1 Corinthians 14. She reminds us of the importance of using our God given gifts for encouraging and building up the church. In our flesh, it is easy to fall into the trap of wanting to make ourselves look good and impress others with what we can do, but God can use us in far greater ways when we live our lives for His glory.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Learning to hold her kids loosely and trust God with them is a daily challenge which Heidi found to be especially true when her boys were just beginning school. It was during this time of trying to let go a bit that she found Moms in Prayer after hearing Moms in Prayer Founder, Fern Nichols, on the radio.

The Lord encouraged her to start a Moms in Prayer group at her sons school in 2003. She prayed with this group of moms for 17 years. They joined her in covering her boys, their kids and their school community. They lifted their requests to God and saw Him do immeasurably more than they could ask or imagine as He walked with them through a sons illness, Young Life established at the school, and students hearts turned to Christ. Heidi has come to know the Lord in an amazingly intimate way as He has shown her His love for her boys and that He truly can be trusted above all else.

She has been married to Mark, who has filled her days with laughter since 1990. They have three boys in their twenties, two amazing daughters-in-law and two grandsons! After growing up in Minnesota and spending a few years in St. Louis, they have fallen in love with North Carolina. Heidi is looking forward to watching God work as He draws other moms to experience His power, grace and loving acceptance through prayer!

SCRIPTURES

we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God. Acts 2:11b ESV

Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:12b ESV

For by people of strange lips

    and with a foreign tongue

the Lord will speak to this people, Isaiah 28:11 ESV

1 Corinthians 13 | Victorious in Motherhood | Robin Elliott

Because of His love and Jesus sacrifice for us, we will fully know Him and worship Him forever. Because of Gods great love, He sent His Son so we could be in His presence for all eternity. And His love is an example to us of how we are to love others. 

Today on the podcast, our United States Country Coordinator, Robin Elliott, joins us on the podcast to talk through 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter. As followers of Christ, we are called to love others. And it may not be with the kind of love you think. Listen in to hear how God calls each of us to love those around us. 

The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network. To find practical and spiritual advice to help you grow into the parent you want to be visit ChristianParenting.org

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Robin has been married to her husband, John, since 1986. When their oldest started school, she heard about Moms in Prayer on the radio and joined a group for the local school. That was the beginning of an amazing journey which has led from Minnesota to Idaho and from a group member into leadership. Robin currently serves as USA Country Coordinator.

Through Moms in Prayer, she has learned that one hour a week can put the rest of the weeks activities into perspective. Over and over, God has multiplied her time when she put Him first. She would love for each woman to have that same experience. Robin has found that when she gets busy and becomes distracted, it is easy to lose perspective and move ahead in her own strength. But when she sets aside weekly time to pray with others in a Moms in Prayer group, her focus on who God is and what God has done gives her all she needs to handle every situation she faces. 2 Samuel 22:33 reminds us that It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

SCRIPTURES

For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 1 Corinthians 3:3 ESV

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15 ESV

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Romans 12:9 ESV

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 1 Peter 5:6 ESV
