Ep 220 Throwing Out the Anchor: Encouraging Moms with Pam Fields
Pam Fields of The Mom Next Door Podcast shares with us today her desire to come alongside other moms and throw out the anchor of God's truth, hope and love, encouraging them in their parenting and their walk with the Lord. She came from a difficult place in her own childhood and didn't really understand what it was all about but she met the Lord at 15 and knew right then that God loved her and that she was His favorite. I wanted to argue that I was His favorite, but as we know, God loves us all.
Pam, a recent resident of Tennesee after living in Oregon for many years, is a mom of 9 and grandma to 4. She hosts the free Facebook group called: Tending Fields Moms Group and interviews moms from all walks of life on her podcast.
Some gems:
- I want to throw out the life preserver and provide an anchor for moms who are needing support and encouragement.
- An online community is a starting place for sharing hope and practical resources.
- I know that there is so much power in prayer and when we can't make a casserole for someone, we can still pray.
- I always knew that God loved me and that I was His favorite.
- Because of the dark places in my past, I know that I kept myself from fully experiencing my emotions until I met with a counselor and recognized my childhood trauma.
- To get beyond a painful past, we must surround ourselves with people who point us to God and His healing truth.
- We aren't meant to grow on our own.
- I want a home where my people feel comfortable and supported whether or not things are going well or not so great.
