Biblical Mothers: Lessons for Today’s Kingdom Moms Raising a Generation of Warriors
My mom raised three United States Service members. She has the flag representing my brother who passed away February 24, 2025, and is resting in the Baltimore National Cemetery. SGT Ronnie Michael Pulley’s brave fight with kidney failure and Wegner’s disease has ended, and my mother spoke bravely over his funeral and memorial service.
Her other children, one a businessman, one a state employee, and my sister in assisted living, all do our best thanks to the sacrifices of our mother. We will talk more about dad and his legacy next month. Yet, our mother, whom he loved dearly did so much for us.
She raised us to rely on Jesus and that He would get us through anything. She gave us the courage to do all the things we all do including my special needs sister. Importantly, our mother, along with my dad, has raised us to withstand any and everything life has through her own standing against so much. She has lost so much recently and her bravery in the face of such adversity is a testament to the woman she is.
I could only hope to be so brave.
When our child died in 2010, my parents did come and comfort us. They understood because out of six kids, they lost two others. Now seeing my mom handle the loss of my dad and my brother with such grace, gives me, her daughter the same resolve as I had facing combat, a miscarriage, sexual assault, and now Crohn’s with the strength of God and a mother’s love.
Motherhood is a sacred calling—one that carries the weight of shaping future generations. Throughout scripture, we see incredible mothers whose faith, wisdom, and courage influenced the course of history. Their stories are not just ancient tales but living examples for Kingdom mothers today. As we raise children to be warriors in faith, let's draw strength and inspiration from these biblical mothers.
Hannah: A Mother Who Prayed with Expectation
Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1 is one of deep longing and unwavering faith. She desired a child, but barrenness had left her heart heavy. Instead of sinking into despair, she turned to God, pouring out her soul in prayer. Her plea was not just for a child—she vowed to dedicate her son to the Lord’s service.
Real-World Lesson: In a time when mothers battle anxiety and overwhelm, Hannah teaches us the power of prayer. Today’s Kingdom moms can model a life of surrender, praying with expectation over their children’s futures. Instead of worrying, we can declare God’s promises, trusting Him to guide and equip our kids for His purpose.
Jochebed: A Mother Who Protected Her Child at All Costs
Jochebed, Moses’ mother, faced an impossible situation. Pharaoh had ordered the death of every Hebrew baby boy, yet she refused to let fear dictate her actions. In Exodus 2, she crafted a plan—placing her infant in a basket along the Nile. Her faith led to divine intervention, and Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s palace, later becoming Israel’s deliverer.
Real-World Lesson: The world today is hostile to Kingdom values. As mothers, we must fight for our children spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Jochebed teaches us to be strategic, discerning, and courageous. Whether it’s choosing godly influences, monitoring what they consume, or standing firm against cultural pressures, protecting our children’s destiny is a sacred charge.
Elizabeth: A mother’s faithfulness through infertility
Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, is a remarkable figure in the Bible. She was married to Zechariah, a priest, and was described as righteous and blameless before God. Despite her faithfulness, she remained childless for many years, which was considered a hardship in her time. However, an angel appeared to Zechariah and foretold that Elizabeth would bear a son, who would prepare the way for the Lord. True to the prophecy, Elizabeth conceived in her old age, and when she was visited by Mary, the mother of Jesus, her unborn child leaped in her womb, recognizing the presence of the Messiah. Elizabeth’s story is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the power of divine intervention in human lives.
Real-world Lesson: Kingdom mothers are women of faith who trust the Lord’s timing for if and when they have children. Even if we grow up with the desire to be mother’s we recognize that it is all in the Lord’s hands. Our age, despite the world saying we can’t, has no say on when God will give us a child also chosen by him. Sometimes our calling is to be mothers and that is enough.
Mary: A Mother Who Walked in Obedience
Mary, the mother of Jesus, faced judgment, uncertainty, and overwhelming responsibility. Yet, when the angel declared her calling in Luke 1:38, she responded with unwavering obedience: “I am the Lord’s servant. May your word to me be fulfilled.” Despite the challenges, she walked faithfully, raising Jesus to fulfill His divine mission.
Real-World Lesson: Kingdom mothers today are entrusted with raising children who will impact the world. Like Mary, we may feel inadequate or fearful, but obedience to God’s plan brings supernatural grace. Whether leading our children in truth, discipling them in faith, or stewarding their gifts, we must embrace our role with confidence.
Raising Kingdom Warriors Today
The mission of motherhood is more than just meeting physical needs—it is raising warriors who carry Kingdom authority. Every prayer whispered over our children, every intentional moment spent training them in righteousness, and every battle fought for their faith matters.
Speak Life Over Them – Declare identity and purpose over your children, just as biblical mothers did. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “the power of life and death is in the tongue.”
Equip Them with Truth – Teach them God’s Word, ensuring they stand firm against deception (Ephesians 6:11).
Cover Them in Prayer – Like Hannah, pray with expectancy over their calling and future (Philippians 4:6).
Be Their Shield – Like Jochebed, protect them from spiritual attacks and cultural influences (Psalm 91:4).
Walk in Faith – Like Mary, surrender fear and trust God’s plan for their lives (Jeremiah 29:11).
Dear Kingdom mama, your role is monumental. You are raising world-changers, prayer warriors, and faith-filled leaders. Let the legacies of Hannah, Jochebed, and Mary remind you that your sacrifices, prayers, and obedience are not in vain. Stand firm, be encouraged, and know that God’s hand is upon you and your children—today and for generations to come.

Breaking Fear is the story of resilience, faith, and healing, and I want to share it with those who help us give back to my mother in this season.

Naomi & Ruth: A Story of Restoration and Generational Blessing (Ruth 1-4)
Our daughter’s middle name is Naomi. So, I want to zoom into to this mother who was written in the Holy Bible for a reason. Her actions gave us the great-grandmother of King David, relations to Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Naomi was a woman who suffered deep loss. After moving to Moab with her husband and sons, she faced tragedy—losing them all and being left with nothing but grief. In her sorrow, she urged her daughters-in-law to return to their families, yet Ruth refused.
Ruth’s words in Ruth 1:16 are one of the most beautiful declarations of devotion: "Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God."
Ruth, a Moabite woman, chose to follow Naomi back to Bethlehem, trusting the God of Israel for their future. Through Naomi’s wisdom and Ruth’s faithfulness, God orchestrated a redemption story—leading Ruth to Boaz, her kinsman redeemer, and ultimately placing her in the lineage of Jesus.
Real-World Lessons for Kingdom Mothers Today:
1. Teaching Resilience Through Adversity
Naomi faced loss, but she did not stop believing in God’s plan. Mothers today encounter trials—financial strain, heartbreak, or uncertainty—but Naomi’s story teaches us that restoration is always on the horizon. In parenting, we can encourage our children to trust God, even when things seem broken.
2. Modeling Faithfulness & Loyalty
Ruth exemplifies the heart of a Kingdom woman—loyal, willing to serve, and faithful. Today, moms can raise daughters and sons who honor family and stand firm in commitment to God and others. Teaching our children to walk in integrity, even when it’s inconvenient, plants seeds of godly character that will yield a harvest.
3. Trusting God to Be the Ultimate Provider
Naomi and Ruth had nothing, yet God provided for them through Boaz. Psalm 37:25 reminds us: “I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” When mothers feel overwhelmed with providing for their children—whether emotionally, physically, or financially—God is our source. He moves in unexpected ways and sends provision at the right time.
4. Raising a Generation of Kingdom Warriors
Ruth became the great-grandmother of King David, an ancestor of Jesus. Though she was an outsider in Israel, her faith made her a key figure in the lineage of Christ. Our children may not see the full extent of their calling now, but as Kingdom mothers, we can speak life over them—knowing they are part of God’s great plan.
Standing Firm in Today’s World
Just as Naomi guided Ruth, Kingdom moms today are mentors, teachers, and faith leaders within their homes. Whether raising biological children, guiding spiritual sons and daughters, or influencing the next generation, motherhood is a holy assignment.
Just like Ruth’s decision led to generational blessings, our obedience as mothers shapes the future warriors of God’s Kingdom. Keep sowing, keep believing—your legacy is in motion!
