Ep. 64 : You Are Too Busy to Read the Bible: The Lies GOOD Moms Believe with Natalia Drumm
Welcome to my latest series, LIES GOOD MOMS BELIEVE!
In today’s episode I am joined with Natalia Drumm, an author, Bible teacher, and host of the podcast Girlfriends in the Word. Together we are tackling the lie: you are too busy to read the Bible.
Whether you are sitting in a laundry room or a board room, God is calling us to love Him with everything that we have and that works out in our day to day, mundane everyday life.
There is so much to juggle, between the toys everywhere, kids’ homework, maybe running them off to soccer or piano lessons, how is there any time? On top of that, there’s the guilt and shame for not meeting certain expectations. The guilt, shame, condemnation we may feel in the church for not doing what we’re “supposed to do” may cause us to struggle even more with carving out the time. Somer and Natalia get honest with the struggle and aim to fill you with the truth you need.

FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS:
-God’s Word is power and the enemy doesn’t want us to have power.
-Satan is crafty, not creative.
-The enemy gives us just enough truth to discourage us but not enough truth to get us where we need to be.
Scripture to Read:
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 – when you want to know what God wants from you, read this passage
Romans 8:1 – There is this fine line between condemnation and conviction and the enemy would have us condemned.
Remember:
I am not responsible to multiply what God is doing. I am just responsible to show up.
Open your hand and give God whatever you’ve got.
The best way to love where you are is to stop looking where someone else is.
God has assigned me this season, this period of time, because I am the girl for the job. He’s given it to me. He trusts me with it. So how can I give it back to the Master?
Girl – you’ve got what it takes to be in God’s Word, you just have to start!
