Faith doesn’t always begin when life feels calm or certain. More often, it grows right in the middle—of unanswered questions, tired days, and ordinary moments that feel heavier than expected.

In this opening episode of Grace Over Guilt, host Cheryl Goldizen invites moms into a gentle conversation about what real faith looks like in the middle of motherhood. Faith when you’re exhausted. Faith when you don’t have clarity. Faith when you’re still figuring things out.

This episode is a reminder that God meets us exactly where we are—not where we think we should be—and that honest, imperfect faith still matters deeply to Him.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What faith looks like in everyday motherhood
• Letting go of pressure to have “perfect” faith
• How guilt creeps into our spiritual lives
• God meeting us in uncertainty and exhaustion
• Why faith in the middle still counts

Scripture References:

• Hebrews 11:1 — Faith without seeing
• Psalm 34:18 — God is close to the brokenhearted
• Matthew 28:20 — God’s promise to be with us always

Reflection Question:

What does faith look like for you right now—not ideally, but honestly?

A Note for Moms:

You don’t have to have it all together to walk with God. You don’t need perfect faith to be held by Him. Faith in the middle still matters.
