Episode 11- Family Devotions That Work
In all honesty, the Pinterest-perfect family devotion time is not the standard. In this episode, I get honest about what family devotions actually look like in most homes — short, interrupted, and nowhere near a curated photo — and why that still counts. We talk about the pressure to make it look a certain way, and what Scripture actually says about passing faith on to your kids: woven through ordinary moments, not confined to one polished sit-down. In this episode: Naming the "Pinterest-pe...

Episode 10 - Releasing Mom Guilt
Mom guilt is loud. Grace is louder. In this episode, I get honest about a visitor that shows up in basically every mom's house uninvited: guilt. We name the everyday things it likes to grab onto — losing patience, working outside the home, screen time, not enough one-on-one time, comparing yourself to other moms — and then get into the real teaching: the difference between conviction and condemnation, and how to tell which one you're actually hearing. In this episode: – The common (and ...

Episode 9 - Identity in Christ vs. Identity in Motherhood
Who are you when you're not "Mom"? This week, I ask the identity question point blank — and get honest about the ways motherhood can quietly become someone's entire identity, one dropped hobby and skipped coffee date at a time. In this episode: – How identity quietly collapses into "just Mom" over time, and why that's not a moral failure – Why a hard season with your kids can turn into a crisis of self when motherhood is the whole identity – An anchor in Scripture: what it means to be a...

Episode 9 – Why I'm Bringing This Back (In a New Form)
After a season away, Mom Is Ministry is back — but not in the way you might expect. In this relaunch episode, I get honest about why the video side of the show became more discouraging than intentional, and why I made the decision to bring Mom Is Ministry back as an audio-only, weekly podcast instead. This is a conversation about simplifying without quitting, letting go of a "should" to make room for what's actually sustainable, and trusting that fewer moving parts doesn't mean a smaller call...

Mom Guilt vs. God’s Grace
Mom guilt is real. It sneaks in when we lose our patience, compare ourselves to other moms, or feel like we’re not doing “enough.” But here’s the good news: guilt is not from God. His Word says in Romans 8:1, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” In this episode of Mom is Ministry, Mercedes opens up about the weight of mom guilt and how God invites us into His grace instead of shame. She shares how even in the chaos of motherhood, God’s grace shows up—sometimes wit...

Episode 5: Rest in the Chaos: A Gift and Command of God
As moms, it can feel like we’re on duty from the moment our eyes open until bedtime—and sometimes even in the middle of the night. The chaos of motherhood, business, housework, and everything in between can leave us feeling like there’s no room to breathe. But here’s the truth: rest is not a luxury, it’s a command and a gift from God. In this episode of Mom is Ministry, Mercedes shares why honoring the Sabbath and creating rhythms of rest is an act of obedience and trust in God. She opens up ...
