Ep. 60 : You are Just a Mom: Lies Good Moms Believe with Cheri Fletcher
Welcome to my new series, LIES GOOD MOMS BELIEVE!
Over the next 11 weeks I am going to be joined by some amazing guests, and together we are going to dedicate each episode to calling out a common lie the enemy speaks to the hearts of Moms.
We’re going to measure that lie against the truth of scripture, offer you some practical advice and Biblical encouragement through discussion and then end our time with a simple but powerful prayer to equip you to take these lies head on whenever they try and sneak their way into your mind.
In today’s first episode of this new mini-series, we are going to tackle the lie: I’m “just” a mom
And here to help me in this discussion is Cheri Fletcher.
Cheri is a writer, speaker, singer and the host of Your Spiritual Game Plan podcast.
She loves to help women develop a spiritual game plan so that they can live out the purpose God created for them. She wants to share the message of just how intentionally you were made to be a part of God’s plan.
Through her writings, speaking and podcast guest it is her desire to equip you with an understanding of the enemy’s plot against that very plan.
You can learn more about Cheri through her website!
And you can connect with her through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS:
- The enemy hates us
- He is seeking to trip us up and derail us from our mission
- He lies to us constantly in order to achieve that
I didn’t feel relevant because I was doing nothing to contribute
When we end up dropping the ball, the enemy is there to remind you “you are nothing more than…”
The enemy was able to entice her (Eve) with wanting to be more than she already was and believing she wasn’t who God wanted her to be after all.
Once he could get that thought into her mind, she took care of the rest on her own.
He planted the thoughts into my heart and into my head and I watered them
God has a PLAN for you and the enemy has a PLOT against you.
The enemy wasn’t created in God’s image and he can’t create.
We are made in God’s image and we can create.
The enemy has so much to lose when you shine.
Just = nothing more than VS Just = exactly what I need
Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.” (Emphasis mine)
Sandy Patty song: Masterpiece
When God created YOU, He did not say, now go figure out why.
Choosing to agree with Truth, rather than lies – help us to agree we are a masterpiece intentionally created to serve a purpose for His glory
John 10:10 – the enemy’s only purpose
What the enemy says is true, but it’s not THE TRUTH. (audio graphic)
Daily spiritual game plan is to remember a scripture I can give back to the enemy when he attacks. Or a worship song.
We’re in a battle whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.
We’re in a battle whether we choose to be a part of it or not.
The only way I can find victory is to claim it every day.
Fight the battle but also keep the mission in mind
You are such an intentionally created daughter of God.
