Now Let’s dive into Today’s Lesson
Kingdom Motherhood: Choosing Faith Over Fear in Raising Kingdom Citizens
This time last year, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s colitis, a severe form of Crohn’s disease. I am already a disabled combat veteran, so in my mind I just added it to all the other issues I have become accustomed to have every day. It was shocking to say the least. Right before I went under, I thought maybe I was overreacted with my stomach pain, and it wasn’t going to be anything big.
I was wrong.
For the past 2 years, up to this point, I have been telling my Iconic audience, and pretty much anyone who would listen to stop living in fear and to trust God. It wasn’t because it is the evergreen thing to say, it was because I lived it. I had to stare death in the face on many occasions and do what I could do in this life, and I did just that.
But when I had to look my dad in the face one last time or watch my text messages say that my brother was dead, fear and its evil thoughts would try me once more. It was at this time that I realized that life is a battle against fear every day. It is a testament to our faith and our resilience to look it in the eye and say no.
What gave me such strength to look at fear this time again? It was my mother.
She told me how she told my father he could go home to be with God if he was suffering too much and that she would be okay because she has Christ. She stood at both my dad’s and brother’s funeral’s even with her bad legs preaching the gospel with such conviction and faith. She visited her sister before she passed and just saw her older brother last week on has a spot on his brain.
She comforted all of us after losing our family.
My mom taught me how to stare fear in the face and to push on anyway. As she would say, “We don’t have a choice anyway. Jesus will be with us wherever we’ll go.” And as I was almost afraid to tell my children that their loved ones were gone, I pulled the strength from my parents to go into my son’s room and let him know his grandpa was gone, then weeks later to again tell him about his uncle.
I have overcome combat, sexual assault, break-ups, emotional abuse, disabilities, deaths, near-death experience only by faith in God. It was the power to see my mother push through and the duty I have to my family plus God’s calling on my life that keeps me going. Holding on is what we all must do in the face of fear.
My husband and I are serious about the Kingdom message, and it is our hope to share that with you all as your hope today.
Motherhood is a journey filled with joy, love, and endless responsibilities. Yet, it's also a road where fear can creep in—fear of failing, fear of the unknown, fear for our children’s future. But as kingdom mothers, we are called to rise above fear and stand firm in faith, equipping our children to be kingdom citizens who live boldly for Christ.
Faith Over Fear: Real-Life Scenarios That Inspire Courage
Let’s dive into a few real-life scenarios where moms can choose faith over fear, embracing their divine assignment with confidence.
1. Trusting God in the Face of Uncertainty
Imagine a mother raising her child in a world that feels increasingly unstable. The economy fluctuates, cultural values shift, and the future seems uncertain. Anxiety begins to creep in as she wonders, Will my child have a strong foundation in their faith amidst all this change?
Instead of letting worry take over, she anchors herself in God’s Word. Isaiah 41:10 reminds her, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God." She intentionally teaches her child about God’s sovereignty, demonstrating how to trust in His provision rather than fear the unknown.
2. Speaking Life Instead of Fear
Another mother notices her child struggling academically, falling behind in school. The temptation to speak words of frustration or fear arises: “What if he never catches up? What if he’s not smart enough?”
But instead of allowing fear to shape her response, she speaks life over her child. She reminds him that he is created in God’s image and equipped with the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). She prays with him, instilling confidence that he can overcome obstacles with perseverance and faith.

In 2010, I faced one of the darkest moments of my life. After years of infertility, we lost our child—a blessing we had prayed for. The grief was overwhelming, and I felt like I had no way forward. But through God’s strength, I broke fear and found hope again. 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.

3. Navigating Peer Pressure with Confidence
A mother raising teenagers may experience anxiety about peer pressure. Social influences challenge her child’s values, and she fears that her teen will compromise their faith. Instead of hovering anxiously, she teaches her teen to stand firm in their identity as a kingdom citizen.
She shares Romans 12:2—"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." She encourages open conversations, builds trust, and reminds her teen that living differently for Christ is a powerful testimony.
Practical Ways to Choose Faith Daily
Here are a few ways kingdom moms can embrace faith over fear in everyday parenting:
Speak God’s promises over your children instead of voicing worry.
Pray with and for your children daily, covering them with protection and wisdom.
Teach them biblical truths that empower them to stand firm in their identity.
Model faith in action, showing them what trusting God looks like in real life.
Raising Warriors for the Kingdom
Kingdom motherhood isn’t about perfect parenting; it’s about parenting with faith. When moms trade fear for faith, they raise children who boldly walk in their kingdom purpose. May we step into our calling with courage, trusting that God’s grace is enough for both us and our children.
