  • Redefining the “Single Mom” Label Through Faith and Purpose

    Redefining the “Single Mom” Label Through Faith and Purpose
    Jul 7 2026

    What if the label single mom didn’t define your identity at all?

    In this episode of SoloMoms! Talk, I explore why society has turned “single mom” into a negative label and why God doesn’t. I talk about how to move beyond shame, reclaim your identity in Christ, and embrace the calling of leading your family alongside God.

    Drawing from my own experiences researching the harsh stereotypes surrounding single motherhood, I share why I prefer the term Solo Mom and why your circumstances do not diminish your value, purpose, or calling.

    Together we’ll look at the examples of Hagar and Ruth, discover what it means to co-parent with God, and remember that God is still raising world changers through ordinary mothers who faithfully choose to stay.

    In This Episode

    • Why the “single mom” label carries so much stigma
    • Common biases solo mothers face in society, the workplace, dating, and even church
    • The difference between privacy and shame
    • Why I use the term Solo Mom
    • Biblical encouragement from Hagar, Ruth, and El Roi—the God Who Sees
    • What it means to co-parent with God every day
    • How to reject shame-based thinking and lead your family with confidence
    • Raising children with purpose while breaking unhealthy generational patterns
    • Finding peace by partnering with God in every parenting decision

    Scriptures Mentioned

    • Genesis 16:13 — El Roi, The God Who Sees Me
    • Psalm 23:3
    • Psalm 139:14
    • 2 Chronicles 7:14

    Key Takeaways

    • Your circumstances do not define your identity. God calls you according to His purpose, not society’s labels.
    • You stayed. Your faithfulness matters, and God is using your leadership to shape the next generation.
    • Co-parenting with God changes everything. You don’t have to carry the weight of parenting alone.
    • Your home is a place where God brings healing, restoration, and hope.

  • Co-Parenting With God to Break the Fatherless Legacy and Raise Sons of Integrity

    Co-Parenting With God to Break the Fatherless Legacy and Raise Sons of Integrity
    Jun 9 2026
    As a divorced mom, I raised three sons, and for my two youngest, I was doing it completely without their father. I remember the weight of that and the realization that I wasn't "daddy" and I couldn't be, because nature just wasn't designed that way. But I learned a secret while struggling to come up with effective ways to get out of survival mode. Mothering solo doesn’t mean parenting alone. I began co-parenting with God, relying on Him to fill the gaps that felt too wide for me to bridge.The strategy started with a hard truth we have to help our sons grasp: God is nothing like men. If an earthly father was absent or unloving, a boy’s view of "Father God" is often fractured. We have to reframe that character through our own leadership and by diving into the Word to show them a Father who never leaves. But it doesn't stop with us. I remember when my youngest was 13 and terrified of the calling on his life. I prayed for a mentor, and God provided a youth pastor who was also a court attorney. He was a man of stability and integrity who stayed. Twenty years later, they are still friends. That mentorship didn’t just give my son a role model; it gave him a blueprint for manhood.I’ve always prioritized conversation and community. People used to stop me on the train and ask, "Is that your son? You two talk like you’re friends." I took pride in that because I knew I had to be the sum of his influences. Yet, as Jim Rohn famously said, “we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” With that in mind, being mindful of the company your sons keep is crucial int keeping him focused on what’s important in life. I had to oversee his "circle of five," ensuring he was surrounded by godly peers. Note: The only reason I created a Facebook account was to oversee my son’s action on social media. I was terrified that they would connect with unsafe people online. But I needn’t worry and I realized I didn’t need to keep on eye on them all the time. I encourage you also, to add another layer to your leadership when daddy is absent. Encourage your son to read about biblical role models like David, who was far from perfect but was humble. He recognized when he messed up and embraced God to help him escape trouble. Also, Joseph, who modeled integrity despite the many difficulties her suffered. Finally by building consistent spiritual habits—reading the Word and praying together—our sons can move from fearing their future to embracing their calling. We don’t have to live continuously in survival mode. We can help our sons shake the legacy of absence and raise men who will stand strong for generations.While the heart of our mission is spiritual, we must also use the right tools to ensure this message reaches every mother searching for a lifeline.If the idea of God as your Father intrigue you, I encourage you to check out Day 12: God, Our Father in Courage to Believe 21 Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.
